Jet surfing

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, enter jet surfing, a cutting-edge board sport that feels like surfing’s sci-fi upgrade. This motorised surfboard doesn’t need wind or waves to send you speeding across the Arabian Gulf. In fact, you don’t even have to paddle out. With a handheld throttle in your grip, you’ll be effortlessly propelled across the surface with nothing to hold you back.

Catch this futuristic thrill ride at two of Abu Dhabi’s most adrenaline-pumping destinations, Yas Island and Hudayriyat Island. At Yas Island, jet surfing fits right in with theme park rides and action-packed attractions, while sporty Hudayriyat’s cyclists and skaters might see you cruise past on the water and want to try it out for themselves. For a truly memorable way to experience Abu Dhabi’s coastline, jet surfing is hard to beat.
