The board hums into being as you push off from the Palm's shallow rim and the water pulls cool against your ankles. Within minutes the motor lifts you, and the hull slips from the sea — you float just above it, the Burj Al Arab cutting the skyline like a deliberate gesture. A coach rides alongside, voice steady, camera ready to catch the moment you find balance.

Expect repeated short runs
Learning comes in bursts — plan to fall and remount; bring a waterproof pouch for essentials.
