The whole time we were on this road, everything felt weird. It was oddly quiet.

Our whole trip to Dubai this past December felt like we were being “watched,” I guess. Really, a weird feeling. But, I’m sure there was nobody there, right? Why would there be?

I think it’s the case of an “insecure American on foreign turf” feeling. There is a constant “looking back over your shoulder” type of vibe in my head the whole time I was there. I don’t know, maybe it was just me. Ok, I’m weird.

Shane, Collin and I got dropped off on shore as the wakeboard boat was setting up to do some runs past us. It was really windy that day. The forecast called for a 30% chance of good wakeboard conditions and 70% chance of getting really frustrated and not getting any footage. Damn, were they right for once.

In between passes (when the boat ran out of sight), Shane and I kept walking up and down this desolate road. The end of it went to the Coast Guard’s dock, along with some other Military-istic looking/scary stuff you could call it.

There was barb-wire on top of a 12-foot wall to keep us on one side of the otherwise unknown side of the fence. Just weird and spooky, like I said before. To see the actual wakeboard footage from this shore side, you might just have to go check out Collin’s new video, Box of Fun.
