Splash Out With Some Surfing in Singapore By Ethan Ong At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Singapore is an island, surrounding by waters clear and clean with some of the nicest beaches this side of the Asian region. As an island, we are surrounded by waters of the Indonesian Straits and some confluences of the Pacific and Indian Ocean. While we don’t get the mile high waves that some of the other islands in other regions of the world, surfing in Singapore is a reality today. Many nay sayers of old said that Singapore could not suffice as a surfing destination and I say this is true. For the hardcore surfer, Singapore cannot match up geographically and oceanic ally to some of the walls of water that Hawaii, Australia and even parts of New Zealand; just to name a few, can offer to them. Thrills and spills, wipe outs and breathtaking moments are not the by word of the water sport landscape in these islands, but in the end of the day,

Singapore offers a different perspective on the sport. Wake boarding and wind surfing are some of the popular activities that you can enjoy yourself with in our waters and Sentosa is one of the prime spots for you to do this. An island in itself, it was named after the Malay word that meant ‘tranquil’. Over the years, the facilities on the island have burgeoned to the point where families and sports enthusiasts can do whatever they want, including surfing. This brings me to the whole point of this article. Singapore is not a hardcore surfing destination and does not pretend to be one. It isn’t the haven of X-games experts, this is the smooth and svelte user friendly island for the entire family. Wake boarding, the safe surfing has really caught on with kids and adults alike. Rental of wake boards are available at almost all the major beaches all over Singapore.

You can also do kite surfing and sail surfing, all you have to do is go to any of the sail clubs located in Sentosa, Changi and the West Coast. Getting started is pretty easy and the learning curve is generous. Many of these places offer training services and coaching before you get started so you know you have the guidance necessary before you decide to go off on your own. Whether you are behind the boat or riding the waves on your own, the potential for some safe and friendly fun is there. If you are looking to ride your surfboard into the sunset and conquer the waves, then you would have much better luck in countries like Indonesia or even Australia if you have the money. They are relatively nearby and you will get the challenge you need. If you are looking for some family fun surfing or just having a good, sometimes clumsy time with your friends, then Singapore is the place for you. If you look around, there are usually likeminded people splashing about, having some fun surfing in Singapore
