Windsurfing:
The spot to windsurf in Barbados is the area of Silver Sands, where the conditions are challenging yet forgiving and where circumstances are unbelievably convenient - and House Inchview is located right next to Silver Rock Beach Beach and Brian Talma's 'de action' shop.. You only rig up once and store your equipment just a few steps from the water. Shower, shade, relaxation area, everything combined right on the beach, right on the spot, which is so unique. We have made it possible for you to enjoy this luxury windsurfing experience at our gorgeous vacation home, House Inchview in Silver Sands, on the Caribbean island of Barbados. Sounds to good to be true?!? May be it does, but this dream will come true for you when you decide to come and stay with the people who discovered Silver Sands as a world class wave windsurfing spot. In 1978 Rosi and Wolfgang, your hosts at Inchcape, were the first people to ever sail at Silver Sands' reef formations.
Kite surfing:
Jim Drake, one of the inventors of windsurfing in the '70s, had already experimented with a wing, shaped like a hang glider, in the early stages of windsurfing... Time has gone by and the wing has become a kite which finally turned out to be an appropriate alternative for accelerating a surfboard using wind power. Since kite surfing really started taking off about two years ago, the still relatively small kite surfing community learned quickly that special circumstances are needed to make kite surfing a safe and enjoyable experience. Barbados isn't only blessed with it's unique windsurfing conditions, it also proved to have some of the most ideal kite surfing beaches possible. There are first of all the beaches around Inchcape, like Silver Sands and Silver Rock, which attract most of the kite surfers. Brian Talma's Action Shop at Silver Rock is available for kitesurfing lessons.
Surfing:
When the world was created, Barbados was given an abundance of potential for becoming a surfer's paradise. The island's location far out in the Atlantic Ocean allows waves to travel thousands of kilometers on the bottom of the sea to finally unload all the power they developed during the long journey over Barbados' coral reefs. As Barbados is a coral island, a coral reef stretches all around Barbados' coastline, providing for unlimited surfing conditions all over. No matter whether a swell approaches the island from a northerly or westerly direction or whether it's moving in from the East or the South, Barbados is guaranteed to have surf somewhere along it's shores at almost any given day of the year. House Inchview is surrounded by surf spots to the east and to the west. There is a sweet little shore break in front of Brian's shop on Silver Rock Beach.
Other Activities:
kite surfing, boogie boarding, body surfing, and much more.
