The east has been full of summer time swell the past two days. Nothing huge but some very clean and fun waves. Maybe as much as 4ft on the set but very fun line and shape.

Forecasters expect the Atlantic season's first hurricane to head toward Bermuda. It was too early to tell whether the storm would...

If you were wondering when the best time of year was to surf in Barbados, well this winter season will have you coming back to the island year after year in search of a winter as good as this one. It may have started out slowly with a few poor North...

Congratulation's Lewis st. John! Sorry it's belated Lewis but good job on winning BIG in Trinidad. Spring break is here! the party has ben pretty fierce so far. Most of the team has been out and about beer drinking and doing some boogie woogie. The surf has been great of late as you all should know. It seem's to have taken a fall today but the swell...
The answer to this is nowhere. The swell has gone flat and I am surfed out. Just need a day of rest.
Folk's good morning and sorry for my absence. The wave's have been too good lately to find a spare moment to report back. The South coast of our little island has been alive with wave's. South Point has had a few moments where its has been enjoyable but as usual has...
Yesterday sure was a good say surfing. I hadn't expected it to be big at all down at Brandon's/Drill Hall. I had just marched down the beach from the office (Dread Ordead Surf shop) with my longboard and was leashless. I trotted out across the reef and leisurely took a...

There is a contest this weekend due for Brandons. Judging from the waves will it stay at Brandons? The week started well but still Monday afternoon nothing has happened. There is a relocation to Soup Bowl but relocating often spells little or no spectators. Better, maybe to just hold the contest...

Weird north swell makes for a lovely afternoon at Brandons. Guys, I heard all about the old dude fighting! I tried to warm the old guys that it was only a matter of time till a young kid smacked the living daylights out of one of them. Well it happened. What's this I heard about some old guys fighting and stirring up trouble in the water? If any one can shed some light o this please use the contact info to tell us your story.
Well guys the west coast again a failure. I have not seen it big in forever. Will we ever get swell again like how we did when I was a kid? Just like to thank the guys from Digicell that came out for a surf with us. You all were FANTASTIC!
Yesterday was a nice way to ease back into the West coast. from the look of other peoples photo's there were waves all over. The Royal Pavilion looked great. I cant make the morning surf with you all today, I have other committments and my back is killing me. West coast had some waves but nothing really to write about. Yeah, they were nice enough but the set was taking long to come and as per usual you can always count on West coast nerds to made the line up an interesting place. Managed to find a couple of barrels...
This morning's surf session was with some youngs folks who had already been out with Kane two days before. The nippers were both 8 years old but strong enough athletes to handle the surf. Words is that Brandons down by me is good enough to smash it up! Sorry I have been mising guys. Iam still alive and well just been super busy over Christmas. A poor excuse I know. But hey I am back. Hope all had a good Christmas and a Happy new year to all. What a day! What a day! Yesterday due to some unforeseen circumstances I managed to get a good bit of surfing in for myself. I managed to surf in the morning the afternoon and then again in the evening. The surf, guys, I must level with you a say that there were waves to be had out...
This South coast swell folks, I'm sorry, has been delayed due to poor forcasting and merely the fact that the swell's lately seem to just have been weak! Guys, we have some really bad news. If none of you all noticed yesterday it hammered it down with rain. This made for a rather difficult surf. Chris was out with me again and although it had rain it seemed as though he had his weetabix for breakfast and was keen to get to it and do...
Surfing for the week has been ok. It has started with lessons and more lessons. Can't complain, thats the job! Thise morning the nippers came out for a surf with me. That's Georgie, brian and Axe. The nippers had a great surf at South Point and did it all on their own. Super special morning at Freights with a young fella that is just a natural surfer. Yesterday nothing happened. The surf was pretty flat on my side of the island and I couldnt quite face the drive over to the East coast. Boards repairs rule, though, I have been itching for days. I have a nice little morning dip in the ocean planned today, out on...
Between Surflies and Dodgy Seaweed the guys took a trip West to see if we could find some sweet surf from this North swell that just past. Nothing happened! see you on the west coast!
Yesterday I managed to get over to the East. It was pleanty worth it. Maybe not as good as the Sunday but still pleanty fun. Looking out for the North swell to arrive soon, so see you all in the line up!
I had a lesson this morning and had to search hard tp find waves. I hear the East coast is doing it to it! and the boats are suggesting a sick west swell. Get on it and let us know about it. Any...
The South has been flat and I hear the East is great. A North is coming so be ready. The lesson have been great and beginners have been killing it. Yesterday was Robs birthday and did we ever party.The shenanigan's begun at the beach with jetski action and Paul doing more swimming than jetskiing. Paul even said he was scared when the boat barrell rolled in the face of a wave. As far as surf, well, there was some surf still...
Just some thougths on the Soup Bowl Reef International Contest, held at the beginning of the month. I got up super early today, before daylight. I was expecting some grand surf similar to Monday evening. I am guilty of pulling all the guys out of bed assuring them there would be great surf. Did I ever have to eat my hat! Monday morning and Brandons was great, just big enough and enough wall to call it fun. looks like the swell on the South will improve too. Were you at the three w's (west coast was widked) this weekend? If not here is the low down: Friday morning 0500 I was meant to be up but didn't make it (nothing to do with the night before). After having an immense argument with my girlfriend (I lost of course)...
Yesterday morning folks had to be the best brandons has been this winter. It may have only lasted for the morning session but was great. Maybe not as clean as the days before but larger and with more guts! 0636 On the beach this morning, Wednesday, its stormy and raining and...
Random waves at Brandons. Kane got the best of it at a constant waist high, however it was drifty. I managed to hit it in the afternoon and it dropped off so quick. Again, drifty but great fun waves on your doorstep!
I told you all that I would make it over to the East coast yesterday, and I did. That was the report yesterday. The South has gone super flat ,although, I believe that it will see some action by the weekend. How good we remain to see. Another weekend has slid by so lets have a little recap. The surf has gone flat kids! Which means it is the perfect time to get out there as a beginner and have some lessons. Was that the shortest and best South swell so far? Good morning folks! Yesterday apparently was the best day at Brandons so far this swell. To all of you who caught it good on you and I am dead Envious. While I was out having a whale of a time teaching some nippers (children) I heard that everyone was having...
Yesterday morning, how good was the surf? Very good I shall have you know! Tuesday morning at Brandons: The waves I thought were sweet! Not huge but still fun enough. After that squall that came over the island last night the wave cleaned itself up and was a really fun ride. It could always have been better but for now I am happy with...
Yesterday had to be the best day at Freights since last Christmas. The size was fair for Freights but the line was so long and the ride, fantastic. I put the longboard to it and had a whale of a time. The wave yesterday just allowed you to take your...
Another great surf by the boys from the UK. Sam was taking every wave that came his way, as per usual. Tom was able to catch some good waves on a board much shorter than he usually rides. Tom cut from a 9'0" down to a 7'6" (way to go...
Fantastic surf lesson yesterday! The group all did fantastic. We managed to get Zack to his feet in one move with none of the knees inbetween.( top stuff mate!) Today folks, complete disappointment. The South has gone flat. We really are all drining East again.
It is a very good Tuesday! And I would Morning folks! I hope everyone had a great weekend and that you all found great surf. Over here, in Barbados, we have had some pretty good or fair swell over the weekend. Also, some unusual swell along the South coast, not at all typical for this time of year. I would not...
Afternoon folks, good to see you all again after a short time away from the water. Why have I been away from the water? Well folks I intend to tell you. Last Monday I was messing around outside the “Dread Or Dead Surf Shop” (Barbados) on my skateboard. The shop...
Soup Bowl was magic yesterday. Perfect 4′ surf contrary to surfline.com and magicseaweed.com surf reports flat report. That, my fellow surfers’, is why you should always go and check the surf yourself. yesterday evening was a lovely warm up sessions. I believe there is swell to come. Hopefully there will be...

Good morning Thursday! Just something to start the day. Thank you magicseaweed.com for your lovely wave prediction for Soup Bowl in Barbados. As per usual you were wrong and made for a disappointing drive from south to east. Now, to be fair, I hadn’t hoped for much but you guys...
