Chris Hemsworth Surfs Abu Dhabi | The World's Largest Wave Pool
Ever wondered where you can surf in the middle of the desert? Join Chris at Surf Abu Dhabi — the Kelly Slater Wave Co. pool on Hudayriyat Island and home to the world's longest man-made wave.
Watch Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth take on Surf Abu Dhabi — the Kelly Slater Wave Co. pool on Hudayriyat Island and home to the world's longest man-made wave.
Opened at the end of 2023, Surf Abu Dhabi produces the longest ride, largest barrel and highest wave of any wave pool on earth, and was chosen as a venue for the 2025 WSL Championship Tour. For Chris, a lifelong surfer and one of Australia's best-known actors, it's a chance to ride perfect, hollow waves in the heart of the UAE.
The pool offers a wave setting for everyone, from first-timers on the Beginner wave through Cocoa Beach to the pro-grade Kelly's Wave, so you can follow in Chris's wake whatever your level.
Here's what you'll see:
• Chris Hemsworth surfing the world's largest wave pool
• The three wave settings and who each one suits
• Why Abu Dhabi is fast becoming a global surf destination
