5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

it was a lot of fun with great instructions. would definitely do again! kind of pricey but not too crazy. very rocky for the first 20 yards or so getting into the water so had to be careful when getting off the board after riding a wave

Barry was one of the nicest guys we have ever met and the instructors who work for him were smart, nice, fun and incredibly well versed in their craft. These guys are very good at what they do and I think everyone in the group... More

"I took off on a wave, went down the side, popped out the other end, and went, sh***, I’m still alive!" - Greg Noll What a great experience! It was a pleasure to meet Barry and Christie in paradise (Barbados). We had a great time and this memory will last forever! Great couple, great business, great location and great environment!

We were in contact with Barry and Christie in the months leading up to our trip. They were always prompt to answer our (many) questions. When we met them in person, they were just as friendly and helpful. All of the staff were so professional and amazingly patient and encouraging. Trying to teach a 42, 12 and 7 year old... More

There were three people in our group. Everything you need is provided except your swim suit. Surfing was more physically demanding than I imagined. But with Barry's instruction everyone was able to successfully catch a wave. The beach is amazing and the waves were perfect for us beginners. We spent some time relaxing on the lounge chairs after the lesson.... More
