Honesty is a nice word at this point. Surf in Barbados is without question the first and most experienced surf school in Barbados. Established in 1995 it was originally known as Dread Or Dead surf school. We were not at the time interested in huge commercial success as you can imagine the name dread or dead struck the fear of god into most people. However, our approach to the sport of surfing, peoples safety and enjoyment were paramount. The word of mouth reputation has kept a constant flow of students over the years. Our attitude still remains the same today. Only the name has changed to Surf In Barbados as we find our success moving us into a faster more commercial world.

Dread Or Dead, founded by Russell Garrett, was soon after joined by Matthew Kidd, fellow surfer. Both competitive contest surfers at the time needed money to pursue the sport they love surfing. Yes we have the trophies and have represented Barbados on various occasions in the fields of surfing, wind surfing and water skiing. That was then. Now we are a part of a team of four competent surf instructors. Who are here for you, totally dedicated to teaching you the art of surfing. Giving you the knowledge we have picked up and past on over the past 40 years of surfing.
