the figure in a cell is how many of that place's spots qualify; flat water is the column you are on
| Place | Flat water | Waves | Beginners | Foiling | Waves and flat | Schools |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dubai | none | none | 2 | 1 | none | 6 |
| Ras Al Khaimah | 1 | none | 2 | none | none | 2 |
| Umm Al Quwain | none | none | 1 | none | none | 1 |
| Al Mirfa / Al Ruwais | 1 | none | none | 1 | none | none |
| Yas Island | 1 | none | none | 1 | none | none |
A cell reading none in one of the five facet columns is a rule no spot at that place matches; in the Schools column it is a place with no school on file. A figure links to that facet's page for UAE where there is one - 3 of the five clear the three-place gate here - except in the column you are already on, and the Schools figures, which are counts rather than facets.
