Whether you're chasing your first barrel or you’re pulling into your hundredth, reconnecting with old crew or meeting new ones, Surf Abu Dhabi is where good sessions happen.
The layover that beat the holiday
The Murphy family was facing another soul-crushing connection. Three kids, 35+ hours of travel, and a few hours to kill in Abu Dhabi.
Instead of camping out at the gate, they found their way to the pool.
Six hours later, they had three exhausted kids who think every layover comes with waves, and two parents who aren't exactly correcting them.
The hunt is over
Lars and Ellie crossed continents chasing surf. Until they opened the door to Surf Abu Dhabi.
Fifteen years of red‑eye flights, over‑stuffed board bags, and surf trips that never quite matched the forecast.
Then Lars and Ellie opened a door in Abu Dhabi and found the session they’d been chasing - perfect. Consistent. And exactly how they wanted it.
For them, the hunt ended here. Yours can too.
A surf trip worth sticking around for
The crew came in hot.
Chasing clips, roasting each other, and claiming waves before they were even in the pool.
They’d done this before - the surf trips, the near misses, the sessions that almost delivered. But this time, the stars aligned.
They said they’d stay a few days.
Turns out, they are still here!
Plot twist in the desert
Iman and Kate had been planning this weekend for two years. Work trips, family stuff, life getting in the way - you know how it goes.
When they finally synced calendars, they had two very different ideas about how they would spend the day together. Kate packed for falcons and belly dancers. Kate’s version included waves in a pool.
Two days later, they were sore, happy, tanned and already checking dates for round two.
Should we save you a spot, too?
