Barbados 121 Surfing Lessons

March 14, 2020
121 surfing lessons at Ride The Tide Surf School are just that. You the waves and your surf coach. We take beginners that want the special attention to the details and fast track progression at the beginning of their surf journey as well as those that already surf and want some fine tunning. When you know a little bit about surfing and just need that little bit of extra love to find the next level in your surfing you're never going to find it in a group learning situation. Simply, all eyes are not on you and in a beginner group you'll not have the access to the calibre of waves in order to...

Why Don't We Do Intermediate Surf Lessons?

February 04, 2020
Why Don't We Do Intermediate Surf Lessons? It's simple really. I haven't yet met an intermediate surfer that needs or wants and intermediate surfing lesson! I have meet some accomplished beginners that would like to connect a few dots, jump over a particular stumbling block or dial in a line-up and catch a few more waves than usual at a new surf break and have a happy surf Holiday/vacation in Barbados. With the help of the guys at the surf shop, that's Zac, we have decided to close all intermediate surfing lessons because it's a BS place to start and can only lead to more BS. That means...

Barbados Surf Rainbow At Freight's Bay

February 04, 2020
Barbados Surf Rainbow At Freight's Bay Surfing is one of those sports or activities that is close to nature. And she gives us these moments every now and then, if you are prepared to notice. This rainbow over the Bay at Freight's was truly one of the most magical I've ever seen. I don't think the camera does it justice. It was so bright and it appeared to land nearly at our feet near the bottom of the stairs. It felt like you could reach out a grab it, touch it and roll around in it. Absolutely amazing! It makes for a welcome break from just marveling at the sea turtles all the time. Not that...

Barbados Surfing Winter 2019-2020

January 31, 2020
Barbados Surfing Winter 2019-2020 The winter 2019-2020 surfing season in Barbados has been a banger so far. November saw the beginning of the winter trade swells begin and Freight’s Bay saw some steady early swells with some of the nicest waves for learning, progressing and just all out ripping… on a longboard. That’s my speed, though, keep that classic longboard style. Keep it single fin and find the glide. Deep driving turns and plenty of tip time. Freight’s Bay has to be one of the nicest waves on the island and it’s surely one of the most consistent during the winter months. It doesn’t...

TripAdvisor Certificate Of Excellence 2018

July 09, 2018
TripAdvisor Certificate Of Excellence 2018 Bang! That's another year that we've made the cut and been awarded the Certificate Of Excellence from TripAdvisor. This 5th year on the bounce recieving the the award gives us a double-shot of recognition in the form of the TripAdvisor Hall Of Fame award also. Obviously, myself and the team are super happy to receive these awards but we are more than aware of the fact that we couldn't have done it without our customers leaving us their reviews. We'd like to share our TripAdvisor awards with our surfers and share our thanks with everyone of our...

Hurricane Beryl Barbados

July 09, 2018
Hurricane Beryl Barbados The first Hurricane for the 2018 Atlantic season blew past Barbados yesterday. Nothing major to report. Beryl passed the island as a storm and passed us a long way North of us. There was some rain and a little breeze but nothing like we had to batten down the hatches for. A little bit of much needed rain fell so I will be looking forward to the island being nice a green and a little less greasy. There were waves. Now, I didn't get to surf them yesterday but from what I saw it was a late late pulse over on the east coast with Soup Bowl delivering some lovely near head-...

Barbados Sea Turtle EMERGENCY

July 05, 2018
Barbados Sea Turtle EMERGENCY Last Sunday morning my Boss, also known as my girlfreind, shoved her iPad infornt of me and gave me a storng look that I better watch thats on the iPad and I better open both my eyes and listen. I might be an early riser but I had planned on lounging around this Sunday morning and so without any coffee in me I was ready to ignore the iPad, look at it for a moment or two and agree with whatever was so important. Important enough to be rammed through my morning quiet time. I knew I was on thin ice if I didn't give the damn device my attention. Below is what had my...

Toledo Wins J-Bay Again

July 05, 2018
Toledo Wins J-Bay Again Now that was pretty good watching, as an online spectator! Sorry dudes, I am not quite affluent enough to make the trip and enjoy the action unfolding live from a confy chair on the beach at J-Bay. Read the WSL full story here . So, my take on the whole event at J-Bay, South Africa is... firstly, the right man won. Now, I can hear the growning from all of you having followed the comments on the live stream. Yes, there might have been some over scoring. But the judges picked the right winner so the scores do not really matter. And, yes, I am a bit of a Toledo fan...
