What's Happening: #2 Hits Barbados's Waters

On Sunday,  ASP # 2, Sally Fitzgibbons arrived in Barbados to ride our waters and snap our waves for two whole weeks. The surfer, born in Australia has many reasons to join us here on the island - her main motivation however, our incredible surf breaks. The different coasts of the island have different breaks of variable sizes, however the most consistent points are on the East Coast with Soup Bowl, Bathsheba being the number one choice. According to Kelly Slater, 10 time ASP world champion, "Soup Bowl is one of my top three  favorite waves in the world".  Additionally, along the East coast the surf may be up at Sand Bank, High Rock or Parlor.

With regards to the South Coast the best breaks are South Point and Freights. Other spots also include Brandons and Silver Sands.

Let us not forget the West and North Coast where the breaks consist of Batts Rock, Church Point and Tropicana (West) and Maycocks, Duppies and North Point (North).

So remember, if surfing is your thing Barbados is your place..or at least Sally Fitzgibbons and Kelly Slater think so.
