West coast was big but lacked` direction evrey break was working on the right and the swell did not get passed Sandy Lane .Matthew and myself ended up at Frias Well we got there at 10 am and found Zed and a few others out there. but by this time the swell was already droping.Maycocks was a mess.but the outer reef seemed large and looked surfable if you had a big board Matthew and i had our guns but 1 hour...
It seems like yesterday ,Tank myself and smokie were having a few drinks after a surf session in the famous Smokies soup bowl bar ,yes it was a land mark and every pro surfer that ever came to Barbados and every surfer that challanged the famous soup bowl has been in the bar even if it was just to say thanks for droping in on me ,Smokie .His reputation was larger than life and he is in just about every...
Sometimes the waves are not that good ,even the famous soup bowl can have an off day.here is a few pictures of my friend Tank from New Jersey and I surfing a horrible blown out day at soup bowl catching a few waves with one of the worst hangovers ever,the only redeaming factor was hanging at smokies bar having a few cold beers afterwards.not such a bad way to close 2009.however 2010 is already going down as one of the...

This week i took Thomas on a half day surf tour,i went through the normal routine of showing Tom a few south coast breaks so he knew his way around barbados and the breaks that are ,or might break while he is here on holiday for a week.by the way Tom is from New York and is quite a keen long boarder,I was already bored with this as i knew soup bowl was 2-3 ft clean and sweet.But a job...
