The Barbados Pro is the penultimate Surfing stop on the 2019 APP World Championship Tour that crowns World Champions for both Men & Women for the fastest growing watersport and one of the fastest growing participatory sports in the world. 

Steeped in prestige, and widely anticipated to be a pivotal part of the 2019 season, Barbados and its world-famous wave called ‘Soup Bowl’ in Bathsheba will play host to the world’s very best athletes as they work their way towards a World Championship Title.

Beyond the Professional competition and attention that this will drive to Barbados the world over (through live and post produced broadcasts and general media across all platforms and premier networks), Stand Up Paddling provides an unparalleled ease of access to anyone and everyone as the most inclusive sport in the family of water sports. 

As such, the Barbados Pro will kick off with an all-inclusive weekend of fun and festivities that will see the Pros mingling both on and off the water with visitors and locals alike down at Carlisle Bay, in a relaxed and typically Bajan environment, before the intensity of professional competition kicks off in Bathsheba on Monday 11th.

The result: a truly unique event that mixes dynamic and action-packed Professional competition with a unique recreational experience that can only be had in Barbados, and that we can build into a yearly pilgrimage to the Island for Stand Up Paddlers of all levels, backgrounds and abilities. 

Barbados has it all, and this will be well showcased through the hosting of the 2019 Barbados Pro in November.
