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.
