An 80 Million Liter Wavepool in the Arabian Gulf?! Surf Abu Dhabi For the full written story, click here: https://stabmag.com/stabcinema/abu-dhabi-actually/ Like many of us, Taj Burrow had little experience with the Middle East before its waves became a talking point. “I’d only ever passed through Dubai airport,” TB told Stab. “So arriving and seeing these man-made cities, islands, and landscapes was surreal. It felt like stepping into the future, but on another planet.” In recent years, the Middle East has been unapologetically ambitious in its quest to attract global visitors. Central to this effort is the Tourism Strategy 2030, unveiled by the Department of Culture and Tourism in April 2024. With a $10 billion investment plan, the region is reshaping its tourism infrastructure, focusing heavily on world-class sports facilities and hosting high-profile events. For surfers, one of the most exciting elements of this futuristic Pinterest board was the KSWC wave pool on Al Hudayriat Island—the largest, longest, and saltiest man-made wave pool on the planet, now complete and set to host its first-ever Championship Tour (CT) event in February 2025.

Mick Fanning at PERFECT Pumping Snapper Rocks Australia's Gold Coast recently came alive with a never ending run of back-to-back swells. In late April, as the WSL's Championship Tour was doing business on Australia's southern and west coasts, the more northern Gold Coast came alive, and Simon "Shagga" Saffigna (legendary longtime friend and filmer to Mick Fanning), Joel Parkinson and Dean "Dingo" Morrison, was there to capture all of the action. When the dusted had settled we needed to investigate, so we rang Mick to get the down low. After a marathon stint of waves you'd forgive a surfer for sounding a little low on energy but when Mick answered our call he was full of life and happy to have a chat. So happy, in fact, that we turned the conversation into the soundtrack for the edit above. We think you'll agree it explains the crazy visuals perfectly. From the incredible waves to the wild wipeouts and the celebrated surfers in the water to the sheer volume of humans in general, Mick was candid and engaging.

Kehu Butler and crew SCORE the Gold Coast [SESSIONS] Every surfer knows about Queensland's point breaks. If you’re lucky enough to have surfed them, you'd still need extra luck to have caught a wave from the maddening crowd. If you haven’t made it to Australia’s Gold Coast, you’ve no doubt dreamt of Pacific corduroy swells lining up to the horizon, before breaking flawlessly down the ruler edged sandbars that run from Snapper Rocks to Greenmount through Coolangatta and on to Kirra. On its day you could argue that the Superbank is the greatest wave in the world, with those best days falling in the Australian summer, with the cyclone season running from January through May. Waves throughout the rest of the year are common but never the type you’ve dreamt about… until now. With Australia entering a third straight La Niña pattern for only the third time in recorded history, the flooding has been Biblical and the waves have started breaking like never before. Literally. As the Challenger Series got down to business in Portugal, on the other side of the planet the points started rifling and surfers couldn’t believe it as the Gold Coast came alive in October. Julian Wilson came down from the Sunshine Coast to open up Jacob Wooden’s Sessions edit, while a list of the Gold Coast’s past, present and emerging greats tore into the freakish swell. Everyone from local legends like Joel Parkinson and Dean Morrison got their fill, core warriors such as Nick Vasicek and Asher Pacey turned up the volume, while longtime Aussie performers like Mitch Crews, Soli Bailey and Wade Carmichael all delivered the kind of performances you’ve come to know and love. Throw in a cameo from new Gold Coast resident and world number three Jack Robinson and the waves didn’t stand a chance. Josh and Sierra Kerr proved they’re the best father-daughter combination in the game and will be for years, lighting up the points then loading up the jet-ski and heading over the seaway to the Gold Coast's favorite sand-spit island, and its miles of empty beach break barrels. Here they were joined by Morgan Cibilic, Jacob Willcox and New Zealand’s greatest export Kehu Butler as the waves continued to fire. We round things out back down in Coolangatta, with man of the moment Reef Heazlewood showing he’s still got game in salt water, even as he breaks the internet with his recent chlorinated wave pool exploits. There’s something for everyone in this fresh cut, so whatcha waiting for? Hit play and soak up the greatest October run of waves in Gold Coast history. Enjoy. #goldcoast #australia #freesurfing
