Frequently Asked Questions
What is wake surfing?
Wakesurfing is a water sport where riders surf the boat’s wake without being continuously towed. After getting up with a rope, you drop it and ride ropeless on the wave created by the boat. Unlike wakeboarding, wakesurfing is done at slower speeds, making it safer and more accessible for beginners in Singapore.
who can wakesurf?
Wakesurfing is suitable for beginners and experienced riders alike. Whether you are trying wakesurfing for the first time or looking to progress into tricks, our lessons are designed for all skill levels. Children, adults and even seniors can participate comfortably.
Do I need prior experience to start wakesurfing?
No prior experience is required. Our certified coaches will guide you step-by-step — from getting up on the board to riding ropeless. Most beginners are able to stand within their first session.
Why should I choose your wakesurf school in Singapore?
We are one of Singapore’s fastest growing wakesurf schools, focused on high stand-up rates and structured coaching. With professional coaches, premium equipment and optimised boat setup for a clean surf wave, we help students progress faster and ride confidently.
How long is a typical wakesurfing session?
Our minimum session for 1 rider is 1 hour, and 2 hours for 2 – 4 riders.
This ensures every rider gets sufficient water time to practise and improve.
What is the maximum number of participants per session?
We cap sessions at 6 participants for a 2-hour booking. Smaller groups mean more riding time and better coaching attention, which helps maintain our high success rate.
What age groups do you cater to?
Our youngest rider to go ropeless was 7 years old, and our oldest was 65. Wakesurfing is suitable for a wide age range as long as participants are comfortable in water and follow safety instructions.
Is there a weight limit for wakesurfing?
We provide life vests up to XXL and boards that support riders up to 140kg. If you are unsure, contact us and we will recommend the appropriate board size for you.
What equipment do I need to bring?
All you need is your swimming gear and our Board sizes range from 4’2 to 4’9, and life vest sizes range from XXS to XXL (30kg to 130kg). We provide the essential wakesurf board and lifejacket.
Can I bring my own wakesurfing board and equipment?
Yes, you may feel free to bring your own wakesurfing board and equipment, giving you the option to use your preferred gear.
Are pets allowed on board?
Yes, we do but do inform us before bringing your pet on board as we need to ensure that the following session has no students who are allergic to dogs/cats fur etc.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my lesson?
A Reschedule of your session will be credited to you on the time remaining or your full session depending on the time of bad weather, guaranteeing a safe and enjoyable experience.
Do I need any prior experience to start wakesurfing?
No, you do not need any experience to wakesurf. All you need is a learning mindset and we will handle the rest! Learning how to wakesurf is accessible to all, and our instructors will teach you how to shift your weight, drop the rope, and ride without the wakesurf rope.
Who will be instructing the sessions?
A dedicated Coach/Captain will be designated for your wakesurf session.
Are there changing and shower facilities available?
Yes. Changing and shower facilities are available. Our crew will direct you upon arrival.
What’s the difference between wakesurfing and wakeboarding?
Wakeboarding involves riding with bindings at higher speeds while being pulled by a rope behind the boat. Wakesurfing is done at slower speeds on a board without bindings — you start with a rope, then drop it and ride ropeless on the boat’s wake for a surf-style experience that feels similar to ocean surfing in Singapore.
Are children allowed to try?
Our youngest rider to go ropeless in 2 sessions was 7 years old and the oldest rider to go ropeless is 65.
I Can't swim, can I still wakesurf?
Yes. While basic water confidence is recommended, all riders wear certified life jackets and are supervised by experienced instructors throughout the session.
Can your coach speak Chinese?
Yes. Our crew can communicate in both English and Mandarin to ensure clear instruction and a comfortable learning experience.
