11. Kite Surfing
Kite surfing has become a popular adrenaline sport in recent years, and Barbados presents some of the best conditions in the world. The waves and breezes around Silver Sands are the place to go, and you’ll often see more than a few boarders flying along the waves. Try De Action Man to rent equipment and have a lesson down there. So if you’re in the mood for an exhilarating adventure when in Barbados, give kite surfing a go.

12. Stand Up Paddling
If kite boarding seems a bit extreme for you, how about stand up paddle boarding instead? SUP has really taken over as a relaxing pastime that anyone can master. You may get wet in the beginner stage, but once you find your balance you’ll be good to go. Paddle hard for a core workout, ride a few waves, or take it easy with some gentle strokes. It’s like you’re walking on water, but if you lose your center you might end up literally soaking in the scenery. Carlisle Bay or Enterprise Beach is a good place to give SUP a try, with affordable equipment rentals, lessons and (usually) calm conditions.
