DEACTION CENTRE
There is no doubt when you arrive at deAction Centre that Brian has put his own personal stamp and influence on every detail on the property. The buildings are all painted with bright Rasta colours, with various statements and poetry written by Brian on every wall and most items. To the left of the entrance is ‘the boat’, an old wreck of a fishing boat that Brian has turned into a fascinating museum documenting the legacy of his career in water-sports. The whole vibe about the place is relaxed, colourful and inviting. The beach front centre is stocked with plenty of windsurfing, SUP and kite equipment which is available for rental and also boasts a restaurant and two vacation units both typically furnished with Brian’s unmistakable style.
Out front is the glistening turquoise lagoon, perfect for freeride and blasting until it hits the reef about three hundred metres offshore where a playground of waves awaits. The Caribbean trades blow port tack side onshore, with the windy season spanning all the way from November through until July. Brian’s advice for wave sailors bringing their own equipment is to bring a big wave board and a 5.8m and 6.2m to cover the light wind days. In January the wind was 5m for two weeks straight but typically it can be in that 15-18 knot range, where bigger equipment will save you from bogging around in the water. Brian has no doubt that his centre is the very best location for people that want to come and windsurf in Barbados! “Anyone who can water start proficiently and can handle a wave or slalom board will have a ball at my place” he claims with confidence. “We are directly on the beach, we have the best apartments, storage, rentals and the whole package for visitors!”
