Surfers, here\u2019s your chance to make your own waves! Known as a cross between skateboarding and surfing, wakesurfing is one of many water sports in Singapore that\u2019s creating a buzz. As wakesurfers are initially towed by a motorboat, you won’t need to paddle. Instead, the wake boat will be doing the hard work by towing you whole throwing out waves. You\u2019ll just have to focus on maintaining your balance and trying to keep the momentum going.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interested in being one of the few to master this water activity in Singapore? Wakemusters is the first school dedicated to offering wakesurfing lessons and has the equipment to create the most conducive waves.

Don\u2019t forget to bring <\/span>diving gloves<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>Prettyia<\/span><\/a>) — they\u2019ll let you have a better grip of the rope towing you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dislike the hassle of diving preparations but still want to explore the deep blue sea with? Why not give snorkelling a go!

\"windsurfing

Windsurfing is what you get by combining aspects of surfing and sailing! Simply catch an updraft and you\u2019ll be on your way as the powerful wind propels your sail forward. While it might be more physically demanding than most water sports in Singapore, it\u2019s certainly worth the adrenaline rush when riding the forward momentum of the waves and wind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keen on braving the draughts and currents? Sign up for a basics course with Constant Wind Sea Sports and Sailing School. Over the span of four lessons, you\u2019ll be taught everything from steering to directing yourself through strong winds.

\"stand

Prefer more challenging water sports in Singapore? Get ready to test your mettle with paddleboarding. Like windsurfing, you\u2019ll first need good balance to stand on the paddleboard. Rather than wait for a strong updraft, you have a stand up paddle to propel yourself through the water. Fitness fanatics would be glad to know that it\u2019s also one of the most complete full-body workouts out there as your arms, legs and core muscles are engaged! To ward off chafing, we recommend investing in a <\/span>rashguard<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>TYR Official Store<\/span><\/a>) that will also protect you from the harsh sun rays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being one of the newer water activities in Singapore, it\u2019s quickly gaining popularity among many. Beginners can try stand up paddling classes at Celine At Sea. Once you\u2019ve mastered the basics, you can even graduate to their paddle board yoga!<\/span><\/p>\n

Address: <\/b>Sentosa, Tanjong Beach, S(098942)<\/span>

Whether you want to beat the heat or relive your Outward Bound days, kayaking is usually the first water sport activity in Singapore that comes to mind! Besides training your upper body, kayaking is also a great <\/span>activity for bonding with friends<\/span><\/a> as your paddling coordination is tested.<\/span><\/p>\n

Want to paddle with a view? Head on to PAssion WaVe at Marina Bay where you can rent a two or four-seater boat and paddle against the stunning backdrop of the city\u2019s skyline.

Keen on joining large scale water activities in Singapore? Make sure you give dragon boating a go. Although it might seem like being physically fit is a prerequisite, teamwork is more crucial to excelling in this ever popular water sport in Singapore! Due to the immense weight of the boat, everyone has to paddle in sync or there\u2019ll barely be any progress made. To protect your hands from this paddling intensity, we suggest getting <\/span>paddling gloves<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>shiwaki2<\/span><\/a>) so your palms are protected from potential blisters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sailing aficionados believe that piloting their boat is more than just a sport and it\u2019s definitely not hard to see why. As both a racing sport and a leisure activity, sailing offers hours of enjoyment and benefits. Enjoy the adrenaline rush as you race with the wind or be one with nature as you relax atop your sailboat while drifting across the waters. One of the key accessories for sailing is <\/span>polarised sunglasses<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>yixing Sunglasses shop<\/span><\/a>). After all, you can\u2019t make proper progress while being blinded by the sun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Contrary to popular belief, sailing is one of many water sports in Singapore that can be fun for the whole family.

Besides a full body workout, her classes also place a strong emphasis on team-bonding and body positivity. This provides a unique and wholesome experience that amounts to more than just frolicking in the water.<\/span><\/p>\n
