There are a few different spots to choose from when deciding where to participate in your days on water activities, but the contrasts between the different coasts are noticeable. The South West side is the more lived in side of the island, offering a few different spots along this stretch, from flat water, to reefs to point breaks. The only downside is that they can be crowded due to the proximity of housing and urbanisations. The Eastern side is a lot more lush in vegetation and a little bit more rugged. This coast line bears the full brunt of the Atlantic and is not for the faint of heart. This part of the island is where you will find the world class wave "Soup Bowls", amoung others. The northern part of the island is a mix of old a new but tends to be less used (from a boardsports point of view) due to bad access. This area is also where the rich and famous come to play. It is not unusual to rub shoulders with some celebs when visiting this part of the island.

SILVER SAND/SILVER ROCK Silver Rock is the main kiting beach and Silver Sands is the main windsurfing beach. Both launch spots have small waves breaking just off the beach when a big swell is running, with Silver Sands having a considerable shore break at high tide. Launching at either spot, you make your way out to the reef (aprox. 300 yards offshore) where you are then treated to some of the easiest wave sailing conditions that anywhere has to offer. Although the wave breaks on a reef, it is a flat bed reef, with no pointy bits, and the wave itself is gentle and crumbles, rather than being fast and hollow, making for a perfect intro to waves if you are already a competent windsurfer/kiter who is happy playing around in rolling swell, keeping upwind and waterstarting.

OISTINS This spot is based a little further North than Silver Sands, and is along the road that leads to the capital of the island, Bridgetown. There is no shore break here and the water is totally flat on the inside, giving way to rolling swell on the outside. The wind is a bit less here and the spot is more suited to freeride/freestyle and beginners.

BATHSHEBA (Soup Bowl) This is an expert-only wave that breaks hard and fast along a shelf of fire coral. It works even when the wind is onshore (the reef cleaning the wave up as it breaks) Kelly Slater (8 X Surfing World Champion) rates this as one of his favourite waves. When it works it can be a perfect stand up barrel from start to finish. Local Pro windsurfer Brian "Irie Man" Talma is one of only a handful of people to have windsurfed at this venue and reckons that it is one of the hardest waves to sail, due to how fast it rifles down the reef. There are a few other spots in this area, some of which are still to be pioneered!!!
