Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd
Hey,
I'm Max, 24 and still looking for an apartment to share in Dubai.
I'd interested in playing 7s rugby or rowing while out here.
I windsurf a lot at home but will probably try surfing out here because of the lack of wind!
Anyone know of any good clubs for my interests?

Hmmm,
Just reading that experienced windsurfers generally move in Kitesurfing in Dubai due to the light winds here which is what I though initially.
Also the surf is in the winter but nothing in the summer.

That's exactly how you want it. Believe me, anything remotely energetic in summer is no fun.

I'd love to be proved otherwise because it's one thing I really miss.

As far as I can tell, I've never seen a swell good enough to warrant surfing. The beaches don't seem have the ability to regulate the waves so they come in in nice sets. It's normally just a crash of white water, too close together and often coming at different angles.

I remember driving to Devon for the swell from hurricane Charlie in the states. 4hr drive, quick tent pitch, beers, surf all day the next and get up early the next day, few hours then boot it back for Sunday dinner. Awesome.

Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd
still got the scar on my shoulder from being dumped on the east coast after the last storm
drinking 5 pints and going for a swim in the big waves isn't big or clever folks
but they did close the beach after that
