Hey guys,

Here is a video from my session at the wave pool in the UAE. This place is a lot of fun. Its actually a surprising good wave that allows for some fun in a place with not a lot else to do.

Make sure you check you it out if you ever fly through Dubai. Its actually reasonable prices.

PS Crazy air at the 2:18 mark

gee thats some nice surfing and i don't think i've ever seen a sup turn so sweet

^ +1 Nice vid, good surfing..

thats just friggin awesome. Out in the middle of a desert.

Way too cool. Go the grom.

nice grom but nowhere near as cool as that footage of you kiting that thing

man make that pool 10x bigger and OMG!!!!!!!

Did you take your own SUP or do they have boards there to rent?

Looks like great fun , epic surfing , you on a jp production or custom ? Board looks like it releases well off the face , specs? The only time I would want to be an Arab , no stone throwers around?

Looks sick

Good stuff, nice see a SUP in a wave pool ripping and not doing nose rides

That's unreal Looks like hours of fun

Glad everyone likes the vid.

I took my own SUP. They have short boards you can use bot not standups.

The board is a Custom, but made in the same construction and where all there production boards come from. Just smaller. They have a new 8'6 thats coming out which is really nice. Just a little big for me.

We have 2 x Custom 8'2 JPs coming in our August shipment otherwise the standard 8'6 is the smallest.

That was awesome!

Ripping it up, looks like fun but Have heard the locals are pretty heavy.

That new wave pool design definitely looks pretty interesting. Between that and the Wave Garden one as well as the Kelly one, I'm sure it will be an interesting few years to see how they work. At the moment, I would say this is the best wave pool out there but it definitely looks like that could change!

Definitely a different place. I didnt get to witness one but I got told about something called a "burkini" haha. Some pretty funny images on google if you look..

Keahi

Love your work. Good stuff

For those that care, here is the clip of me kiting it. Only a few waves unfortunately as they didn't film that much.



Keahi

Don't know how you dealt with the crowds in both vids!

Is it like that all the time or JP/Cabrinha put some cash up to get some time on it alone?

Good surfing!
