    The 11th Around the World Charity Paddle

    The 11th Around the World Charity Paddle

    The 11th Paddle Around the World Islands is finally here and happening! The UAE's Largest Paddle event is back for the 11th time running. With over 80 paddlers earlier this year for the Ripples of Hope, we managed to raise a substantial amount of funds for SOS Children's Villages and hit the target of AED10,000+. Though we've already reached our targets for the fund, we mean to double it with this upcoming and most anticipated event by the SUP community. A total of 32 kilometres of open ocean paddling with the opportunity to get close and personal with the Nakheel World Islands. This event is not a race, meaning you can go at your own pace, but it is a challenge. This is NOT a paddle for Beginners. We require a confident level of Paddling. Click here for registration.

    ABOUT THE EVENT

    The Paddle Out for COP28 is a peaceful campaign for Ocean Health + Human Health.

    A symbolic community gathering in the ocean, uniting surfers, SUPers, divers, ocean lovers and ocean stewards to raise awareness for ocean conservation during the biggest event for climate change in the world: COP28.

    Believed to have begun as an ancient Hawaiian tradition, a paddle out is a ceremony typically used to celebrate and pay tribute to surfers who have passed away. Paddle outs have evolved beyond the concept of memorials and are now a way of honouring or paying tribute to other causes related to the ocean.

    THE PADDLE

    ​ This Paddle Out is an activity where attendees will paddle from the beach out to the sea, following a route of 2km, where they will form a circle and pay tribute to the ocean.

    Paddlers can use SUP (stand up paddle boards), surf boards, kayaks, dragon boats, or other water vessels.
    We are forming a circle in the ocean where we will link together, and set our intentions for a better world, improving ocean conservation, and reflecting on how the ocean can help our mental health.

    Paddlers can arrive at 7am and no later than 8am. Attendees visiting the Blue Mind Zone or spectating, can arrive anytime between 7am - 11.30am.

    Paddle start time is 8.30am when we will have briefings, photos and our launch. ​
