More Than a Destination, a Catalyst for Surfing and Surf Culture.

Surf Abu Dhabi is a collaboration between the Modon a leading developer and Kelly Slater the surfing G.O.A.T., bringing the
world’s biggest wave pool, the best wave technology, designed by the world’s best surfer to Abu Dhabi – an Emirate known for
creating best-in-class experience destinations.

Our challenge was to build a brand with relevance because surfing is a foreign concept in the region.

Our role was to tap into the world of surf culture and develop a brand that would appeal to global surfers “chasing a wave”,
entice professional surfers to the perfect wave as a training ground to hone their craft, as well as inspire the spread of surf
culture by encouraging friends and families to “give it a go”.

This destination is truly a catalyst to expand surf and beach culture in the region and beyond.

Come find your wave at Surf Abu Dhabi.
