The Good Stuff
Clear instruction
Reviewers say instructors break down foot placement, technique and next steps clearly, making the first attempt less intimidating.
Boat condition
The boat is repeatedly described as modern, clean and well equipped, with one reviewer calling it pristine.
Safety setup
One review specifically mentions two crew members: a driver and a spotter/teacher, which helps keep coaching and safety separate.
Quality equipment
Customers mention excellent boards, new surfboards and top-quality material, useful if equipment quality matters to your session.
Video extra
A customer received a complimentary 360 video, giving them a recording of the session as well as the on-water experience.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm crew. Before booking, confirm that a captain and separate coach or spotter will be on board; one reviewer’s session changed when the coach had to drive.
Ask about video. If you want a keepsake, ask whether a complimentary 360 video is included in your session, since one customer received one.

The Bottom Line
H&S Water Sports is a Dubai-based provider of wakesurfing and wakeboarding lessons, boat sessions and equipment use. You can book a first-time wakesurf lesson, try wakeboarding behind a Nautique G25, or work on an existing riding technique. The reviews are strongest on coaching: beginners describe learning foot placement step by step, while a group of six first-timers all managed to wakesurf in one session.
The boats and equipment are another clear draw. Customers mention clean, modern boats, quality boards and new surfboards; one reviewer described the boat as pristine. A review also describes two crew members on board—a driver and a spotter/teacher—which kept coaching and safety roles separate.
Some sessions include useful extras such as a complimentary 360 video, so it is worth asking when you book rather than assuming it is standard. There is one important caveat. A recent customer arrived to find no captain, leaving the coach to drive and effectively removing the coaching element.
The customer also says the format change was not communicated and that the follow-up response felt dismissive. Confirm the planned crew and session format in advance, especially if proper training matters more to you than a simple boat ride.
