Soup Bowl - The Wave That Shaped Us

On the rugged east coast of Barbados, there’s a wave that locals have known for generations. Soup Bowl isn’t polished or predictable—it’s raw, fast, and full of power. A wave that doesn’t just break—it builds, bends, throws, and humbles. It’s the kind of spot that makes you earn every ride, but leaves you wanting more.

Set in the small village of Bathsheba, Soup Bowl feels like a world away from the rest of the island. Mornings here start with sea spray and stillness. Fishermen haul in their nets. Groms take early laps before the tide turns. And the reef starts to talk as soon as the swell hits.

There’s something about this place—its wildness, its honesty—that stayed with us long after we left the water. It’s what inspired us to create our own Soup Bowl tee. Not just as a piece of clothing, but as a way to carry the feeling of that wave: stripped back, grounded, and a little rough around the edges in all the right ways.

Barbados isn’t just another surf trip. It’s community. It’s rhythm. It’s riding a wave that reminds you how small you are—in the best way.

The Soup Bowl tee is a tribute to the wave, the island, and the people who call it home.
Worn in, salt-washed, and made for wherever your version of the lineup is.
