The Surf Abu Dhabi Longboard Classic 2025 has drawn the world’s top surfers to Hudayriyat Island, where they are set to tackle the planet’s longest and most advanced artificial wave. This prestigious event, running from October 24 to 26, marks the final stop of a three-part global longboard tour, hosted at what organizers describe as the most sophisticated surf facility ever built. Among the competitors are two-time world champion Taylor Jensen, defending champions Stevie Sawyer and Alice Lemoigne, and American world champion Rachel Tilly, who praised the UAE venue as a unique experience unmatched anywhere else.
