From the North Shore to… the Rub’ al Khali desert?
Yeah, you read that right. We’re off to stop two of the World Surf League’s World Championship Tour for the latest episode of Tour Take, and we’re swapping one figurative oasis for a more literal one.
It’s time to head to Abu Dhabi to learn all about Surf Abu Dhabi.
One of the most advanced wave pools on the planet, Surf Abu Dhabi presents a whole new canvas for the world’s best surfers. And we’ve got Lakey Peterson breaking down all the perfections of the world’s most “perfect wave” in Tour Take.
Watch it in full below now, and then read on to learn more about Lakey, Surf Abu Dhabi, and our Tour Take series.
Designed off Kelly Slater’s famous wave pool in Lemoore, California, Surf Abu Dhabi is a world-class, pool-surfing experience. Not only a perfect left and right, but it also boasts one of the most luxurious setups that’s only a bit more refined than the usual toes-in-the-sand situations we’re normally used to. New to the WSL’s World Championship Tour, Abu Dhabi presents a whole new set of challenges, environment, and rewards.
You can watch the Surf Abu Dhabi Pro at the worldsurfleague.com, when it kicks off on February 14th.
