We're on to learning how to kitesurf now! Our friend Kareem is an instructor and we've been out twice, so looking forward to getting up on a board and actually seeing what this is all about! Obviously it looks fun, but it does takes a lot more time then just learning in a few hours...so we'll get there soon!

We joined other SUP'ers in Dubai to paddle around the world islands for Charity. It's 30km+ paddle and usually takes 4-6 hours, quite a paddle and something that we were thinking we should probably train a bit more then we had leading up to it. The morning of the paddle, security denied us access to paddle around the whole thing so we had to change course. While it was a bit shorter, we still did 25 km, had a great day out on the water and helped support Surf Aid International. The sunrise was amazing looking back to the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline!
