Wakesurfing And Wakeboarding In Singapore With Kids

Looking to take the kids wakeboarding? Here’s our comprehensive list of the best (mostly kid-friendly) places to wakesurf or wakeboard in Singapore! From Singapore Wake Park to wakeboarding in the open sea, these spots offer lessons for the family!

If you’re a thrill-seeker or just looking to try something new, wakeboarding in Singapore is a fun sport that keeps you cool in the scorching heat! We might not be able to surf off our coastline, but did you know that Singapore is one of the few places in the world where you can wakeboard all year round?

So why not gather your family, learn how to wakeboard or wake surf, and plan a fun day out at sea? Or start small and go wakeboarding at the Singapore Wake Park, which is an enclosed space and less intimidating than being out in the open water for newbies. Who knows? You might just find your next hobby!

How old do kids need to be to be able to wakeboard?
It’s always advisable to be water confident before doing any sports in the open water – so as long as your child can swim well and can follow instructions they should be good to wakeboard or wake surf.

Different wakeboard centres have different minimum age requirements, so always call ahead. You will be wearing a life jacket when wakeboarding in the open seas, as well as in the sheltered lagoon wake space at Singapore Wake Park at East Coast.

Wakesurfing vs wakeboarding in Singapore
The key difference between wakeboarding and wakesurfing is that for wakeboarding, your feet are strapped onto the board, and you hold onto a boat-towed rope or a cable skiing-style rope (eg at Singapore Wake Park) throughout the duration of the ride. In wakesurfing, your feet are not strapped in, but you balance on a board and eventually will release the rope to ride out or ‘surf’ a wake.
