Early Risers: Speedo Water Babes

Wake surfing is my all-time favourite pastime, so when Speedo offered to kit out some of our Dubai water-loving babes for an awesome morning out on the boat, we jumped at the chance!

We headed down to Fahrenheit Beachsports with @LeanLivingGirl, @Thuymi, @MissCharFit, @Monkyseemonkydo and @ClaireFalconer_ our favourite surf spot, with a private cove that’s perfect for wake-surfing and no traffic!

For those who haven’t tried wake-surfing (not to be confused with wake-boarding of course), it’s super fun and a relatively gentle sport as the speed on the back of the boat is a lot slower than when you waterski or wakeboard. For some of our first-timers out there, the chilly water was the only barrier as they all found their feet and ‘the sweet-spot’ quickly.

Wake-surfing is less of a workout for the arms too, as you’ll let go once you’ve found your surf rhythm behind the boat. The key with wake-surfing is to not overthink it, and to just enjoy the ride, as whether you remain on the rope or you drop it and you’re able to give carving a little go, you’re going to feel the wave under your board and you’ll get your balance in no time.

Check out the action below with all of us #SpeedoWaterBabes kitted out in their cute summer rashy’s!…

When Speedo Got Sexy

No we’re not talking banana hammocks here either… the Speedo brand has long been synonymous with swimmers and the more athletic water warriors, but it’s had a bit of a refresh with its H2O Active collection and I have to admit, i’m a fan! SPEEDO AQUACYLE

We jumped in to the nicely heated outdoor pool at Fairmont the Palm to put the collection to the test. They have an aqua-cycle class i’ve been dying to try out so it was a great way of seeing what all the hype was about. SPEEDO AQUACYLE

The collection itself ranges from multi-strapped bikinis with spliced waistbands, to one-pieces with added bra tops and open backs and also includes water wearable leggings! I chose the one-piece for a bit of added warmth in case it was a bit nippy that early in the morning. SPEEDO AQUACYLE
