Box by Box

Bathsheba, Barbados
🪸Sharp reef⚠️Shallow

Box by Box is Soup Bowl's heavier neighbor—a grinding left that breaks into shallow reef with serious consequences. This is where Barbados prodigy Zander Venezia honed his skills, and it remains a proving ground for those seeking more intensity than Soup Bowl delivers. Expert only.
