surfing
we live in england where the water is cold and other surfers are angry and competitive but in barbados the water is nice and warm and the locals are super friendly, best surf location so far....

April in Barbados
Which side of the island is most consistent in mid April?
Any possibility of solid swell?

Consistency?
Hey to anyone who can help me...
How often does Soupbowls get like it is in "Campaign 2" when Slater is surfing it?
Obviously the Internet helps a lot nowdays with surf predictions etc, but does it get like that often?
Thanks heaps!

May surf
Surfed Soup Bowl the first week of May 2006. It was pretty flat. Sets would line up chest high or better and look promising, then just mush out at all tides and pretty much all day. The waves would allow for a drop in and maybe 1 cut back, then it dies out totally. Like this all week. I know May may not be the best time, but that was the time I could arrange for our trip. Photo's on this site show what it's capable of, but you can get dissapointed. Getting in and out of the water is a pain as well. Reef and urchins. Go out at the rivermouth on the left side of the break. I'll be back because I know the place can break, but I was totally disapointed with my trip in May. Hi "Boatman-Paul"

life changed at soup bowls
At soup bowls in '99 I was having a beer at the roundhouse and met a local surfer. I gave him a lift up the hill to his home that day, and our conversation and his fantastic attitude forever changed and shaped my life. If you're still out there bro, thanks!

Re: Slater
Yeah, this is it. It was showcased in a TransWorld Surf mag issue, and Slats called it "the one day of surfing he would relive over and over..."

Slater
Is this the spot Kelly Slater is surfing in 'Campaign 2'? If it is holy #@$%@ this place looks like Backdoor Pipe but less crowded.
