Modon Properties (Modon), the Abu Dhabi developer, has partnered with Kelly Slater Wave Company (KSWC), the world experts in man-made wave technology, to create\u00a0Surf Abu Dhabi, the most advanced wave facility in the world.
\nFeaturing the\u00a0world\u2019s longest ride and the world\u2019s biggest barrel, as well as the world\u2019s largest man-made wave facility,\u00a0Surf Abu Dhabi is an exclusive surf experience designed to inspire and appeal to everyone – from beginners to elite surfers.
\nSurf Abu Dhabi will further underscore Abu Dhabi\u2019s sporting offering when it opens later this year. Located on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi\u2019s sport, leisure and recreation destination, the elite-level surfing facility will take its place alongside other major additions to the city\u2019s sporting infrastructure including a 3,500-seat velodrome equipped to stage international indoor cycling competitions.
\nBill O\u2019Regan, CEO of Modon, said: \u201cAt Modon, our role is to support the growth of Abu Dhabi\u2019s ambitions and sports asset development strategy which is contributing towards a legacy of sporting excellence.\u201d
\n\u201cAs the world\u2019s premier man-made surf experience, Surf Abu Dhabi is specified to host major international surf competitions. It is a high-performance destination which will offer world-class surfers the perfect conditions to train or compete, while also growing the region\u2019s surfing community, and inspiring wider society to embrace a healthy new activity.\u201d
\n\u201cWhen we opened the first wave, the mystery it created and excitement that ensued was something I\u2019m not sure many have experienced,\u201d said Kelly Slater, 11-time World Surf League Champion and founder of KSWC. \u201cSurfing reaches people in all corners of the globe and I\u2019m always surprised with who gravitates towards this world. Having a KSWC wave in Abu Dhabi is something I\u2019ve never dreamt would happen but here it is. Unbelievable. While not many would have predicted the location for the project, there are great synergies with Abu Dhabi and like KSWC they are always innovating and ahead of the curve. This is going to be a lot of fun for so many people.\u201d
\nJeff Fleeher, President of Kelly Slater Wave Company, said: \u201cAs a global hub for tourism, sport, and business, with diverse peoples and cultures, Abu Dhabi is the perfect place for us to showcase KSWC\u2019s unmatched wave technology and surf experience. We\u2019re fortunate to partner with Modon and join Hudayriyat Island\u2019s incredible ecosystem of sport and recreation to foster new participation and enthusiasm for surfing in the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
