Axe is super cool and informative surf coach. Picked us up from the hotel on time and we got to the beach very quickly. Got started as soon as we got in the beach to maximize our time ib the water. All pointers and coaching helped me improve throughout the lesson. Was catching waves consistently. Conversation was better than the coaching haha. Made sure my lady and I felt safe anf had fun. Will be back when im in Barbados and recommend this is the surf lesson to anyone interested.

Best thing we did on the island! We booked a lesson for two adults and an 11 year old who hadn’t been on a board before. Russell and his team are helpful, friendly and go way out of their way to make sure everyone’s having a great time. Our son was standing on the board within 5 minutes and had an incredible time, so much so he begged us to go back for a second lesson a few days later. Everyone in our group of 8 got up on the board including kids and adult first timers. We surfed Pebbles and Dover beaches - the team knew the breaks and conditions perfectly so that by the end of the second lesson we were choosing waves and getting up independently. This is an amazing family business, Lance and Axe are brilliant patient teachers, high energy and laid back at the same time, fantastic with the kids in the group. We felt safe and really well looked after. All smiles all round.

The favorite thing my kids did in Barbados. Our instructor (Lance) was super cool, easygoing, and gave a ton of helpful feedback to help us figure it all out. The reef is shallow and I scraped both elbows a bit but all in all a great lesson.
