The south coast is best for windsurfing. The centre of the action is Silver Rock, where Brian Talma, ’Irie Man’, runs the windsurfing shop. There is a two-mile stretch of reef providing excellent waves for wave sailors and a lagoon for those who are less confident. The best place to learn to windsurf is in the Sandy Beach area inside the lagoon, while outside the reef you can sometimes get good wave sailing. The most action can be found on the north coast, where Irie Man himself likes to go, to Cow Pens and Red Backs. Access is not easy and there is only a very small beach from which to launch yourself, but the waves can be very big. The International Funboard Challenge is held in March and the Barbados Windsurfing World Cup is in January. Contact the Barbados Windsurfing Association, at Silver Sands, T 4287277. .
