“Awesome day out - Left at 7am, finished at 1.40pm, absolutely shattered. Beautiful to set off with the sun rising behind Dubai's iconic skyline in the morning. Congrats to Scott, Dan and everyone of the marshals, safety boat crew and other competitors who made the day so much fun! ”

“An amazing time on the water - This is not an event for beginners but with some training and will you will be able to spend a wonderful time on the water. Yes, the last 5 to 10 km are very hard, but it is worth it. The organization from Surf House Dubai is amazing so that you just have to focus on your paddle.”
