Alan’s one on one instruction was great! The location was amazing and the advice I received was priceless! I would definitely recommend Burkie Surf School to anyone coming to Barbados.

Burkie (aka Alan Burke) is the BEST!! My son and I first surfed with Burkie 4 years ago on our first trip to Barbados. Returning to the island this year, he was my first call. He is an amazing instructor and an all-around great guy. Couldn’t recommend him more highly. I’m a beginner at best and it’s thrilling to feel like I’ve progressed after just 4 lessons. And my son, a more experienced surfer but still starting out, he was working on chasing barrels and walking his board. Burkie is patient, clear, safe, and beyond fun. If you’re interested in learning the sport or improving your skills, he’s your man!

Alan and his son Josh are exceptional instructors. The secret spot they take you to is uncrowded with turquoise water, and the most pleasant turtles swimming calmly beneath you. Surreal...
Whether you are a beginner like me or a more experienced surfer (like my friend), this team is the only one that I trust to:
a) know the right spots on the island to surf at, for varying levels + what time of day
b) to teach proper technique and form and correct bad old habits
c) laugh with you and have fun, but also share knowledge about the country
This activity can be as easy as you want, or as advanced. I am a female in my 30s and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Alan got me up and surfing on my *first day* after just a few tries. He's so kind and thoughtful, and knows how to coach you through it. We would pass other instructors or locals who would call him the "godfather of surfing" in Barbados.
Reflecting on the lessons I had, I really think surfing with Burkie Surf School is a no brainer for any group of any experience level because they do it all: friends, couples, families with small kids even (I saw 6-8 year olds getting up!) and for more advanced surfers who want Soup Bowl. I learned that Alan's son is a big time pro surfer and guess who taught him :) so it clearly runs in the family...

My two children aged 13 and 11 took surfing lessons with Burkie for about 6 weeks over the Summer 2021. I was particularly concerned about my daughter as she had a previous teacher who didn't work as well for her and almost put her off surfing forever! Alan at Burkie Surf School was great with her and after just a week and a bit, she was surfing really well. My son took to it much more easily. I would highly recommend Burkie Surf School. They even broke a national record! They now have surf skills for life. We will be back in Summer 2022 for sure!

I would highly recommend the individual lesson with Alan if you want to get professional and honest feedback on improving your surfing quickly Not only his knowledge of the island will make sure you get to the best spot for your level, but also, his experience will guarantee that you get those tips that takes your surf skills to the next level. Technical and personalised advice guaranteed which will make your experience memorable whatever your level is.

Absolutely incredibly experience - the highlight of our trip to Barbados! Burkie is a complete pro and one of the nicest guys you’ll meet! He was so patient with me and my husband - it is the first time I’ve ever been able to stand up and actually enjoy surfing! He knows all the tricks and tips to give you your best chance of being able to get confident with surfing and really start to love it! Can’t wait to book another set of lessons as soon as we’re back in Barbados.

Top ex pro surfer Alan, his pro son Josh and partner Molly also on the pro surfing circuit run this excellent surf school. Whatever your level (and I am a 60 year old beginner) they will help you improve rapidly. Stood up on my first lesson. Highly recommended 👌.

I’ve had a few surf lessons and never really made progress, but this was totally different. I asked Alan to start again with me, we did some time on the shore, he taught me how to stand up, correcting my posture as we went. Then we discussed safety and practical tips about getting out to the waves (no instructor has done that before in such a helpful way). Then in a flash I was up and riding. Alan sat on a board near me, coached me on when to paddle and in which direction, then sometimes rode the waves with me. Almost Every time I looked out to sea I saw turtles :)
It’s Alan’s clear and obvious passion for surfing though that was the highlight and was infectious. I’m going to love learning this new sport.

My boyfriend (who is a surfer) treated me to a lesson with Alan Burke as a Christmas present this year. At the end of my two hour lesson my bf joined us in the water and we caught a wave together, which was one of the highlights of our relationship! You are in good hands learning from Alan Burke / aka Burkie - a former pro surfer he is basically Bajan surf royalty descending from a lineage of award winning watermen. It’s clear that he loves to share his passion for the sport by getting beginners psyched and hooked on riding waves. He was a very patient teacher who made me feel safe and confident on the water on a soft foam board. I had had two surf lessons in Hawaii a month prior to my lesson with Alan and had already started popping up and riding when pushed into waves. Alan walked me through the steps of paddling into the wave myself which was very empowering to experience. His positive energy, and sense of humor made the lesson really fun.

Thank you very my much Martynka, humbled by your review.
You did fantastic and was certainly a pleasure surfing with you.
Can’t wait to read your book.
Good luck !
Alan.
