How I Knew I’d Picked the Right Surf School (Hint: They Were Actually Patient)

Image
I would like to admit that ....I was nervous. Surfing in Barbados sounded amazing, but I wasn’t exactly what you'd call “ocean confident.” I had visions of wiping out in front of cool locals while a bored surf instructor judged me from the shore. So when I booked a lesson with Dread or Dead, I was hopeful but cautious. The First Paddle-Out From the moment I met my instructor, I knew this would be different. He asked me about my swimming ability, my comfort in the ocean, and whether I’d ever even stood on a board. I said, “Nope. Unless balancing on a yoga mat counts.” He just smiled. “Perfect.

The Board That Looked Cool (But Wasn’t) I arrived in Barbados all pumped up, headed straight to the nearest surf shop, and picked a board based on... well, looks. It was short, flashy, and looked like something a pro would ride. Never mind that I’m an intermediate surfer at best. The guy behind the counter barely asked anything. He just handed it over, took my cash, and said, “Have fun.” Well guess what....I didn’t........ Cue the Wipeouts I headed to the beautiful Freights Bay, expecting smooth rides and sunny...
