Dread or Dead and the Lifestyle We Love
The Dread or Dead Surf Shop was established by surfers for surfers to enjoy the ocean blessings of Barbados' location as the most easterly of the Caribbean islands. With the Caribbean Sea lapping on it’s western shore and the Atlantic to the east, Barbados is in a prime position to experience the best surf in the region.
Over the years, Dread or Dead had expanded it’s focus in Barbados to include the many, many friends we have made all over the World. Today, we seek to spread the name of Dread or Dead everywhere. Our goal? To communicate and spread the values, lifestyle, friendship and fun that the Dread or Dead surfing and skating community have come to expect.
Dread or Dead represents a different view of our World. Our values are family, friends, freedom, the environment and enjoying life. We’re not out to change what you believe, or what you think, but rather, the way in which you believe and the way in which you think about life and how to make the most of the limited time we all have. Surfing and skating is the manifestation of these ideas in our daily life.
We temper the individuality of our sport with the camaraderie of friends and loved ones. Over the years, we have witnessed our surfing and skating friends of old as they have become fathers and mothers themselves, and who, in turn, have and continue to pass on to their children these same values, together with the skills and experiences of the surfing and skating lifestyle.
Dread or Dead embodies an equatorial, island-based attitude. Island life fosters community. We invite you to join ours. Island life demands that we all share the bounties of our small island. We invite you to share the experience of what we live every day. Island life tempts you to take your time. We invite you to slow down. Way down.
Paddle out. Catch a wave and you’ll understand the dichotomy of the surfing and skating lifestyle: experience the thrill, peace, solitude, community and excitement of life all at the same time.
