Wakeboarding

Wakeboarding is a combination of surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding and waterskiing. A wakeboard looks like a fat snowboard with a pair of bindings attached to it. The wakeboarder carves turns with body leans and by rocking the board. Today, wakeboarding is the fastest growing water sport in Singapore. Ever since the SWWF invited World Champion Wakeboarder Dean Lavelle to launch himself up in the air, throwing somersaults at Kallang Riverside Park in 1996, wakeboarding has become the fastest growing watersport in Singapore increasing over 100 percent in participation over the past three years. Age is not a barrier as far as the game of Wakeboarding is concerned. Wakeboarding in Singapore is a source of fun to a six year old child as well as a sixty year old man. But one needs to be careful about following the safety measures that are related to this game. It comes with its fair share of risk as well as enjoyment and excitement. The more ambitious riders tend to perform more impelling tricks. If you are fearful, you can just opt to be a spectator instead of a participant.
