Yes I'm finally back in Barbados ,and yes it's good to be back ,doing my daily Brandon's surf report for surfline . surfing every day,surf talk with my friends ,fixing boards ,doing some surf lessons as Matthew and Rob are exausted. Well here is what iv'e learnt after traveling the complete west coast by road ,every surf break town and village the USA has to offer . We at surfinbarbados do a grand job first off our surf school is by far better,more professional,better equipment and warm water ,bath tub water to be precise .Also we are cheeper than any surf school in the USA. To rent a good surf board in the west coast of America is Impossible . However in little old Barbados at DREAD OR DEAD surf shop you can rent some of the best boards in the world. I'm not sure of the reason ,maybe it is the repair factor . At dread or dead i do all the repairs in house myself. So if you are looking for a good rental board in Barbados look no further, strait on down to DREAD OR DEAD surf shop call 246 228 4785 ask for Russell or Matthew
