No BBC, food was amazing please keep.
More of the same please 🔥
Not much. Did an incredible job.
Fantastic day thanks so much
Do it twice a year!
Not at all! Great course, looking forward to next year
No way to improve
Possibly reduce lecture content slightly! Fantastic selection though and fab venue + food.
It was great weather on this occasion but may not always be as sunny in September, maybe bring the date forward a little for future BARREL events?
Generally excellent. Time keeping not perfect, but was no Biggy
Amazing talks - excellent all round!
Nothing, it was truly fantastic
More surf session availablity - but this will be better next time without the BBC!
Great speakers, great surfing opportunities
More of it! Two day course with more surfing and more talks.
It was fantastic!
Minor reduction in the number of lectures
Perfect
spread out the surfing through the day (maybe 2 surf sessions??)
Not much! Perhaps a session on some surf-related healthcare e.g. management of drowning/blunt trauma?
can't think of anything. More gladiator music!
