Wind Rises Dubai | Sailing

Sailing experience: what is it? We answer the most popular questions and wait for everyone at the Wind Rises

💨 On the boat, every step matters. Especially when the wind picks up. Our Wind Rises instructors spend long hours moving, balancing, teaching, and adjusting sails, so comfort and grip are never just details. Together with @adidasuae , they tested the new Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra 2 — with responsive Energy Rods, Continental™ Rubber traction for wet and dry surfaces, and a lightweight mono mesh upper made for movement all day long. From the deck to the dock — built to keep up with every condition!

@SceneSportsME : Who among us hasn’t entertained the fantasy of quitting city life and disappearing onto a yacht - minus the White Lotus drama? But the real obstacle is rarely sea sickness or being mysteriously “taken out” by a group of free-spirited strangers in the middle of the sea. It’s far more embarrassing: the challenge of operating a giant floating machine can feel impossible, on top of how prohibitively expensive it is to maintain such an activity. That’s exactly what Dubai-based sailing club Wind Rises is trying to undo through workshops, group sails and racing programmes. Since its launch in 2023, it’s built a 1,000-strong community to demystify the sport and making it as accessible as possible. However, the founding of the club is a story of coincidence. It began when co-founder Max Pinigin found himself on a rerouted trip from Cuba to Croatia in 2008, spending a week at sea with a group of strangers. It wasn’t his first experience in sailing, having been exposed to the sport on student trips, but he had always seen it as an inaccessible pursuit. Yet, that trip shifted his perspective, setting the foundation for what would eventually become Wind Rises.
