Surf Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi, UAE
You ever wanted to catch a wave and ride it all the way to the shore? But then realised sharks, giant squid and blue whales live in the ocean and that maybe floating on a polyurethane foam board in the shape of their food isn’t the best idea? Well, do we have a surfing solution for you.
Surf Abu Dhabi has created the world’s most advanced, man-made wave tailored to absolutely everyone, from the I’ve-never-tried-surfing-in-my-life-ers to those of us with Kelly Slater skills.
Not only can you forget all about your thalassophobia, but you can flex your abilities (or lack thereof) and find your perfect wave in an exclusive and inspiring experience you’ll want to repeat over and over. But what makes the wave so magnificent? We’re glad you asked.
The experience uses cutting-edge technology to set up the epic barrels and long rides of your wildest surfing dreams, and there’s professional surf coaches on site if you’re lacking a little in the confidence department.
Once you’ve had your fill, sit back and relax in the sun with a cold drink and some seriously good food—think coastal flavours and top-notch ingredients.
But before you hop on Skyscanner and start searching for return flights to the UAE, this experience opens in October, which is actually fine considering going to the Middle East any earlier guarantees you have a 99% chance of bursting into flames (read: it’s hot hot). And it also means you still have time to practice your turn, paddle and stand.
