A big standing space, long sandbanks with butter flat water and two islands in range of sight guarantee a sense of achievement is waiting for you. Speeding, jibing and making freestyle tricks will be great fun here.

The centre is situated less than 50 meters from the turquoise coloured water. It is directly in front of the speed strip with lots of free upwind space. The Intercontinental Abu Soma is within walking distance but has a separate beach. There is no Marina quay or hotels blocking the wind.

In front of the station you have direct access to the beginner's lagoon which is 30 cm to 1 meter deep, depending on the tide and bordered by a sandbank.

Directly behind the beginner's lagoon is the speed and freestyle strip which offers very flat water due to the sandbank behind it. With low tide the sandbank is nearly dry and with high tide there can be little wind waves. This is the perfect place for speeder, jibbers, freestyler and all those who want to become one.

You can stop everywhere along the sandbank, to either take a short break or talk to other surfers. Small tip: By low tide you can take amazing pictures from the sandbank. Right next to the sand bank are just fingertip high waves which are the perfect conditions for learning of the water start, footpad technique, powerjibe, cool moves or to just fly past.

Speeding along butter flat water you start to hear that rewarding sound of your board plaining as the islands fly by. It is the perfect place to really push your limits. We even have a GPS speedometer to give you precise readings on your run.


WIND DIRECTION - Theere is the morning wind which blows till 10/12 o'clock cross off shore. Later on it will change the direction slightly and blow cross shore and stronger from the perfect angle to the sandbank. Till 14/15. o'clock, there is very stable wind which then decreases slowly depending on the season - sometimes it even blows till shortly before the sunset.
