It is under a choking temperature of 45°C where the last 2 motos of the final round were held in Abu Dhabi. In first moto, Omar won, followed by Steven, which offered a nice battle show.

Steven made a pass on Omar and Ludovic to get the lead and won this final round. Steven Dauliach won the week end and clinched the 2011 UAE Championship title in Pro Ski.

The Pro-Am Runabout Open class was filled with carnage and going into the final moto the top three positions were still up for grabs. However once the flag dropped for the start Dustin "El Diablo" Farthing wasted no time making it clear he would be a force to be reckoned with all season. Erminio Iantosca was able to take the holeshot and hold the lead for the first lap, but Farthing got under "The Boss of Watercross" on the first turn of lap two and never looked back, lapping the entire field en route to his first overall win of the season. Brian Baldwin rode consistently in all three motos and was able to sneak past Iantosca for the second spot on the box and the defending national champion had to settle for 3rd aboard his RIVA Racing powered ride.

In the Ski GP class the Jimmy "Eats World" Wilson took the hole shot but with the heavy surf he was quickly over taken by both Chris Maclugage and Rob Flores. Rockin' Robbie and the G.O.A.T battled back and forth for the entire moto swapping the lead several times until Rob finally lost an edge and took a water sample from the Gulf. With about 3 laps to go Flores wisely decided to settle in for 2nd place and conserve himself for tomorrow's two moto day. Behind him Wilson dumped and allowed teammate Bill "Hurricane" Haig to sneak by for the 3rd position and Wilson had to hold off a late charge by Josh Block to hang on to the 4th position.

Jason "the Destroyer" Stoyer built on his stellar performance Saturday and easily took the win. Stoyer used a borrowed boat on Saturday but on Sunday he had his own rig and he launched quite a few back flip variations along with a huge under flip that he landed flawlessly. Jeremy "Parr Diddy" Parr tried to match "the Destroyer", but Parr was also on an unfamiliar boat and came up short on his signature trick, the Pinwheel, and had to settle for 2nd. Parr Diddy declared "we'll get him next time!" Michael Ratti showed why he is a former amateur national champ and put up a rock-solid performance on his way to a 3rd place finish.
