Hip surfers' hangout selling branded boards and accessories, plus surf coaching and a chilled cafe.

Surf House Dubai at JBR is the city's dedicated surf and fitness destination - a FlowRider wave machine and fitness facility that occupies a covered space at the beach end of The Walk. The FlowRider delivers a genuine body-boarding and surfing simulation, with coaching available for first-timers and challenging enough for experienced surfers to work technique. The adjacent fitness facilities - resistance training, functional areas - give it dual purpose as a regular training venue. The JBR location is the obvious advantage: you can book a FlowRider session, hit the fitness floor, and walk directly to the beach within the same visit. Surfing sessions are charged by the 30-minute slot; group sessions are cheaper than private. The coaching staff are surfing-competent and patient with beginners. A distinctly Dubai experience - surfing on an artificial wave at a beachside mall - that actually works as genuine surf training and as a high-energy activity for groups.
