Surf Abu Dhabi Pro. For the first time ever and for the second

Mitch and Dave break down all the standout performances… and the
not so standout ones as the Surf Abu Dhabi Pro delivered a wild mix
of high-performance surfing. They talk through all the unexpected
challenges and wave pool surprises like onshore winds, sandstorms,
and water photographers that threw the competitors a curveball.
They discuss who thrived in the unique wave pool conditions, who
struggled to find their rhythm, and what this event revealed about
the evolving dynamics of competitive surfing. They also dive into
