Surf Abu Dhabi Pro Wrap-Up

Two events down already, the WSL season has kicked off with a bang heading straight from Pipe, Hawaii to the Middle East in Abu Dhabi to surf a wave pool. Not just any wave pool mind you, it's a WaveCo tech (Slaters) so it's the same tech from Lemoore but with some tweaks. 

Conditions were repetitive but competitive at around the 3ft mark, and the team jumped in eagerly with Molly Picklum running rampant through the event and grabbing a 2nd place. Isabella unfortunately bowed out early, along with Liam and Joel in the round of 16 and Ethan slogged a hard fought 3rd place.

The boards the team were riding are written out in detail below:
Ethan Ewing - 6'1 x 19 x 2 9/16 Juliette PU
Liam O'Brien - 5' 10 x 18 3/4 x 2 7/16 Juliette PU
Joel Vaughan - 5' 10 x 18 5/8 x 2 7/16 Juliette PU
Molly Picklum - 5' 8" x 18 1/8" x 2 3/16 MF DNA RT
