Barbados is still under Covid restrictions, but at least the volcanic ash cloud isn't preventing me from getting outside anymore.

If you listened to the Barbados episode of my previous podcast, "The Bucket List", you probably heard my conversation with Visit Barbados' Marc McCollin.

I've been listening back to that episode myself, for reasons that I explain during the episode.

Barbados is the place to be if you want to surf. There's no question about it. Due to its unique position in the Caribbean seas, it generates some seriously good conditions for anyone wishing to catch a wave.
But what if you're not an experienced surfer? Can you still consider going to Barbados as a viable destination for learning to surf.
This is the exact question and topic we're covering in this episode.
