00:00Hello everyone, today we're here at Hidayriyat Island and Khaleesh Time will exclusively

00:16try the first wave at Surf Abu Dhabi.

00:26So after changing and I'm getting my own Surf Abu Dhabi t-shirt, we're here at the training

00:30room to get all the instructions before I ride my first wave.

00:39So here in the training room I learned how to stand in the surfboard, how to hop in,

00:43how to hop out and all my safety instructions, how to maintain my balance and what to do

00:48in case I fell.

00:54So we'll be open seven days a week and there's going to be different progression sessions

00:59if you will, so there'll be sessions that are catered just for beginners, there'll be

01:03intermediate sessions, there'll be advanced sessions, for the most part though we're just

01:08selling surf trips.

01:09So we don't really want to get too bogged down by what your skill level is, we just

01:15want to say you're coming to Surf Abu Dhabi, let's get the perfect wave for you.

01:20So now I'm ready to try my first wave as a surfer.

01:38So finally I'm done with my waves, I tried surfing for the first time and I nailed it,

01:43I tried, I did two perfect waves out of six, not too perfect but yeah.
