Learn How

Wake Surfing ($235/h), Singapore

Wakesurfing is less tiring than wakeboarding and it is also not too difficult to learn. It is therefore,  better suited to beginners and innexperienced people. Unlike wakeboarding, your feet are not attached to the board and the goal is to let go of the rope, so you surf the boat’s wave.

  • Step 1: Goofy or Regular? Know what foot is more natural for you to have in front.
  • Step 2: Let the boat do the work! Standing up does not have to be a struggle, let the boat pull you up.
  • Step 3: Adjust your feet correctly on the board for easier maneuverability and stay on the “sweetspot”. Feel the wave pushing you.
  • Step 4: Let it goooooo! Let go of the rope and surf the wave up-down, forward-backward.
    Step 5: Fall gracefully, that’s all your friends will remember!

Wake board, Singapore

Are you more of a speed junkie? Then try wakeboarding! Unlike wakesurfing, your feet are attached to the board and you have to hold the rope at all time. Also, the boat speed is faster. But worry not, we will teach you progressively to make sure you enjoy your time in the water. 

  • Step 1: Goofy or Regular? Know what foot is more natural for you to have in front.
  • Step 2: Let the boat do the work! Standing up does not have to be a struggle, let the boat pull you up.
  • Step 3: Move left and right within the boat’s wakes, get familiar with the board. 
  • Step 4: Cross the wake into the calmer waters.
  • Step 5: Master the art of jumping and landing by practicing on one wake.
  • Step 6: Go full throttle and jump wake to wake (W2W).
