Surf Breaks of Barbados - January 20, 2021 - Drill Hall (with Christopher Clarke)

Had the privilege to find Chris on the beach today and he generously did a run down on Drill Hall for us. He also give a little insight as to how surfing in Barbados has reached the point of where it is now.
I call this the grandfather of the south coast where waves are concerned. Like Duppies in the north, this break handles the largest and unquestionably the heaviest, surf on this side of the Island. I can assure you that the next time that we a massive swell, I will be return here and get some coverage for you...this place will blow your mind!

I spent three winters surfing 74,75,76 and caught this break huge one winter 8 ft plus

[@bajanwarrior]

Back in those days the south coast used to really break BIG and consistent and for an entire day not just at a particular tide.

We lived in Crab hill and had Duppys wired, we brought an old car and would hit the west and south coast chasing

[@bajanwarrior]

@@danmcmonigle Duppys wired, never got that done, thought I had at one time but faced a freak set on a huge day and that pretty much finished my big wave surf plans lol

Heading there next summer :) How are the waves in July? 🤞

[@bajanwarrior]

🙄 🤔 July is not traditionally an active surf month, however with the tropical systems at that time, there could be a few sets knocking around.
