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.

My children and I had a blast, and the instructor was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this activity.

Great lesson at Freights Bay

Nathan_A, Mar 2026

Axe was very helpful teaching someone at Freights Bay who has never surfed before. Turns out it was a private lesson since no one else signed up. Picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Three instructors (Russell, Ax, Paul) from Dread or Dead are awesome! They are friendly and patient. The class is two hour long. You can learn at your own pace. Highly recommend any beginners to come here and have fun!
