I suggest-
http://www.premiumiv.com/sport-leisure/

from their web site- you will need to scroll it-
[h=1]Surfing[/h]Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or a pro, St Barts is the perfect place to pick up a board of any kind and hit the waves.
We can equip you with any board and depending on your experience help you decide to pick the right location that meets your expectations.
We can also provide transportation to and from that location or simply deliver to where you are.
If you have never been on a board before, no problem.
We have experienced instructors that will take you under their wings and get you sea worthy in no time.
Wind Surf schools are located on St Jean Bay, and Cul De Sac, where there is also Kite Surf.



[h=1]Windsurfing[/h]The Tradewinds give St Barts almost constant wind and the beaches on St Barts are ideal for all levels, from the flat calm of Grand Cul de Sac, to the "Washing Machine" in Toiny.
Premium IV can organize you Windsurf boards and lessons, advise you where to go, and even put you in touch with local veterans.



[h=1]Kitesurfing[/h]The bay of Grand Cul De Sac is ideal for kitesurfing on St Barts, the reef closes the mouth of the Bay so the water remains shallow and calm, so ideal for beginners or advanced kitesurfers working on their technique.
You can bring your own equipment, rent some, or take lessons or pointers from the professional Enguerrand (seen upside down in this photo).



[h=1]Stand Up Paddle[/h]Stand Up Paddle is the new surf sport.
The sport is an ancient form of surfing, and reemerged as a way for instructors to manage their large groups of students, as standing on the board gave them a higher viewpoint, increasing visibility of what was going on around them.

Check out the Lorient Surf Shack. I saw this kiddo prepping for lessons back in November.
