RIP CURL SUNSET OPEN 2024 WITH OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER BREITLING 

And just like that the Rip Curl Sunset Open is right around the corner once again.
We’ve had a slightly late start to the winter surf season but there’s been a good amount of swell filling in since the start of 2024 and we’ve got some more on the way soon! This has us stoked for the promising peak season months of Feb and March, right in the middle of our event waiting period.

As we’ve kept up since the very beginning, each year returns with an evolved and bigger event. More prizes, more action, and a community that’s bigger every single year! Can’t wait to call the event on once we’ve seen the forecast line up and we make our way down to the epic stretch of beach that is the Umm Al Quwain Kite Beach Center. We’ve got all 7 division back for another year and look forward to a packed out weekend of competition! We'll keep you posted with all event updates on all our usual online channels. Follow us @surfhousedubai
 
——

The history of the Sunset Open began in 2010. A surfing event held once a year with 3 reasons in mind:
 
 1.⁠ ⁠To showcase local Emirati and expatriate surfing talent from the region.
 2.⁠ ⁠To bring together the world class ocean and beach communities in the UAE.
 3.⁠ ⁠To celebrate the sport of surfing (in multiple forms of wave riding) and bring more awareness to the beaches and ocean environment of the UAE.
 
It has always been held during the UAE’s most wave rich calendar months of February to March with a 5 week waiting period to give us the chance of picking the best weekend of swell in that time frame.  Falling in the back half of the winter seasons also allows surfers to have the first portion of winter to shake off summer cobwebs and refine their surfing.
 
The very first Sunset Open was unsurprisingly held on Dubai’s Sunset Beach. Half a dozen picnic gazebos, a dozen outdoor garden chairs and 20 community volunteers helped put on the events first iteration and instantly became a calendar highlight of the year. It is an event that embodies the spirit of the UAE’s surf culture. Fun waves, good vibes, a close community of familiar faces and a stoke for riding waves on par with the most revered surfing hubs around the globe.
 
The event has grown leaps and bounds in its national support, production and participation since 2010 (now 100+ competitors across all divisions), and we look forward to its inaugural hosting at the Umm Al Quwain Kite Beach Centre the second time in a row for this year in 2023.

The 11th Paddle Around the World Islands is finally here and happening! The UAE's Largest Paddle event is back for the 11th time running. With over 80 paddlers earlier this year for the Ripples of Hope, we managed to raise a substantial amount of funds for SOS Children's Villages and hit the target of AED10,000+. Though we've already reached our targets for the fund, we mean to double it with this upcoming and most anticipated event by the SUP community. A total of 32 kilometres of open ocean paddling with the opportunity to get close and personal with the Nakheel World Islands. This event is not a race, meaning you can go at your own pace, but it is a challenge. This is NOT a paddle for Beginners. We require a confident level of Paddling. Click here for registration.
