Jamie Anderson in Dubai to promote city's action sports

XDubai, the city’s ambassador for action sports, has released a video series featuring professional surfer Sally Fitzgibbons and Olympic gold snowboarder Jamie Anderson paddle boarding, desert hiking, and engaging in wind tunnel inflight in Dubai.

Titled “Lifestyle Sessions,” the videos are meant to highlight Dubai’s outdoor and extreme sporting activities.

XDubai is the group behind videos of “Jetmen” Yves Rossy and Vince Reffet.

“When you think about all of the options, there really is no shortage of fun in this city. I live my life like the Amazing Race, travelling from one city to another, so being able to go to the beach to relax, go stand up paddle boarding and yoga, gives you the ability to get back to a more relaxed pace of life,” said Anderson.

Fitzgibbons, who currently ranks third in the Women’s World Surf League, said Dubai blew her away.

“I have been completely blown away with how amazing Dubai is; from climbing in the desert mountains to being in the ocean every day. I didn’t know Dubai could offer so much,” she said.
