The UAE is making waves once more (bad pun intended) with another world-class championship coming to the capital. You can now get your tickets to The World Surf League Championship Tour coming to Abu Dhabi for the first time!
A first for the Middle East as well, Surf Abu Dhabi will be hosting the world’s top surfers from February 14–16, 2025.

54 of the world’s top male and female surfers are all set to compete at the largest man-made wave at the revolutionary Surf Abu Dhabi facility.
Nestled on Hudayriyat Island, Surf Abu Dhabi combines cutting-edge wave technology with Abu Dhabi’s renowned hospitality. Against the breathtaking backdrop of the city’s skyline, the Abu Dhabi Pro offers more than just surfing – it’s a celebration of elite competition, innovation, and the vibrant surf culture that’s taking the region by storm.
With three action packed days on the agenda kicking off with some world-class performances, the finals and award ceremony will conclude with live entertainment and DJs to spin the mood.
Among the participants are 2024 WSL Champion Caity Simmers, Arab surf star Ramzi Boukhiam, and Olympic medalists Jack Robinson, Caroline Marks, and Tatiana Weston-Webb, competing on waves designed to perfection by the Kelly Slater Wave Company.
There’s plenty of action going on beyond the waves too! Dive into an exciting Fan Park featuring local food trucks, a rooftop bar with stunning views, live music and entertainment from regional and international bands, family-friendly activities and a vibrant market, making it an unforgettable day out for all ages.
With tickets live already, choose between general admission or hospitality access, the latter offering premium views of the World Surf League Championship Tour.
