Surfing the Soup Bowl
Being a coral island, a coral reef stretches all around
Barbados' coastline, providing for unlimited surfing conditions all
over and is guaranteed to have surf somewhere along it's shores at
almost any given day of the year. The east coast boasts the most
powerful and biggest waves and the foaming surf of the 'Soup Bowl'
is a favourite spot that is internationally recognised and the
venue for the annual surfing contest. Surfboard lessons and rentals
are available, as well as surf tours for the more experienced.
