Barbados, Caribbean » General Info

ALL TIME FAVOURITE FOR WAVE FREAKS !


The easternmost of the Caribbean islands, Barbados is called the "Gateway to the West Indies" and has long been a port of call for ships from Europe.

Spanish and Portuguese adventurers arrived here in search of gold, riches and fame (and rum!) – and found lush vegetation and a small population.

Today, Barbados is called the "Little England of the Caribbean" owing to the British influence. Nevertheless, the islanders have given their own special twist to the British traditions, changing them to suit their Caribbean pace of life! 

Windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing and snorkelling in magnificently clean and clear water, as well as swimming at fantastic beaches or pure relaxation. It's all here.

The ultimate Caribbean feeling, white beaches, turquoise water, wind and waves, pulsating night-life, reggae music, and fun-loving locals! Barbados – that's where the action is!

By the time the sun disappears at around 6-6.30pm and you have let off enough steam on the water, the hustle and bustle of the fish market in Oistins has already begun. Dreadlocked men chop up tuna fish with their machetes, freshly caught fish sizzle everywhere, radios blare out Caribbean music, and local women dance to the beat. Even dancing bears could learn a thing or two from them!

All around, you will experience an outstanding surfing vacation and take the Caribbean feeling home with you, and after this vacation it will stay with you forever!
