Sporty Options: Get soaked, learn new skills

  • Singapore Wake Park
    While the aim here is to spend more time out of the water than in, getting soaked is all part of it. The park has a built-up lagoon and three cable systems: beginner, intermediate and full-size for adventure-seekers to try wakeskating, double-skis “cable-style”, knee-boarding and wakeboarding. An instructor will brief you about the cable system and safety instructions, then you’ll be directed to the best cable for you. The park caters to all levels from child to adult so it’s fab for a family day out.

Park entry is free but mastering some ‘skillz’ starts from $30 per hour.
