Our instructors will teach you the steps so you can ‘pop up’ on the board and they will help get you on your first wave! Before you learn the pop up you need to determine your dominant leg, this will be the leg at the front of the board. If you are facing left on the board you are in a goofy stance, if you are facing right you are in a regular stance. If you are not sure what stance you are comfortable with then you may need to practicing popping up on the beach on both sides to determine which stance feels the most comfortable.
For most Beginner Surfers your first Surf Lesson may be at the beautiful Freights Bay. Freights Bay is perfect for beginner and intermediate surfers. The waves are left and long and not overly powerful which produces a perfect beginners wave. The water at Freights Bay isnt very deep and is mostly sandy on the bottom with reef closer to shore which is another reason why it is a great Beginners Surf Spot in Barbados. Your instructor will monitor the break and also make sure you don’t get in the way of the other surfers so that everyone can enjoy their session in a safe environment.
