Trade winds provide the region with highly consistent, year-round surf that rivals the likes of southern California and the Gold Coast of Australia.

Bull Bay, however, lacks the infrastructure and resources of those other locales. There are no giant hotels with swim-up bars. The roads are not nicely paved, instead littered with pot holes. Dinner isn’t served to you from a world class kitchen.

Yet the surfers here see the untapped potential and hope to use the sport of surfing to create a better life not only for themselves but for their community as well.

“There needs to be opportunity,” said local surfing legend Billy "Mystic" Wilmot. “It has to be more of an industry.”
