Barbados is a great place for surfing, whether you are a beginner or an intermediate. We provide our students with an informative introduction to surfing that is safe, professional and fun! There is nothing we like more, than seeing the thrill people get when they stand up on a wave for the first time!
Barbados has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world with world famous surf breaks like Soup Bowl in Bathsheba. We have some of the best, most consistent waves in the Caribbean and there are always waves suitable for surfing lessons. Boosy’s Surf School is mobile going where ever the waves are best for our students, our aim it to promote surfing as a life enhancing sport “forward thinking with endless progression!”.
Where we teach
Most of our surf lessons are taught at “Freights Bay” (Cotton House Bay) just south of Oistins in Atlantic Shores, Christ Church. Freights Bay is the ideal location for beginners as it is below a cliff face which shelters it from strong winds that can make the water turbulent. Freights Bay is primarily a left point break, with long, pealing, perfect waves. There are even some sea turtles hanging around in the surf! In short, Freights Bay really is the best place to learn to surf in Barbados!
There are some days that Freights Bay is just too small for lessons, and on those days we usually go to Surfer’s Point, Inch Marlow, also in Christ Church. The waves at Surfer’s Point are also good for lessons and it is also a left point break, however this surf spot is affected by wind. Other times we also give lessons in Bathsheba at a surf spot called Parlour, this is great for intermediate to advanced surfing.
