Abu Dhabi is preparing to welcome the world’s largest man-made wave. Surf Abu Dhabi will be powered by the Kelly Slater Wave Company, and aims to create, “the world’s longest ride, biggest barrel, and largest man-made wave pool.” It will be located on Hudayriat Island, and the team aims to complete it by December 2023. That said, there’s no word on when the wave pool will actually open to the public; but fans can check out the very first aerial footage of the new pool here.

A New Take On Workwear From 686

The ‘Unwork Collection’ is 686’s progressive take on classic workwear, featuring 686’s most durable fabrications to date while maintaining more mobility, breathability and flexibility to perform outdoors. The Unwork Pant is made from durable nylon mixed with spandex stretch canvas, 500-denier in all the spots that need extra durability, and reinforced seams and belt loops. Plus, there are 11 pockets for storage and a DWR finish. The Unwork Pants come in Slim ($130) and Relaxed-Loose ($130). Add the cool Unwork Jacket ($180) to complete the kit.
