WAKEBOARDING SINGAPORE – WHAT?

Wakeboarding is a water sport that many people have recently come to love. The best news about this is that Singapore allows it all year round – even wakesurfing! Yes, wakeboarding and wakesurfing are not the same.

There are certain similarities between wakeboarding and wakesurfing – but they are two different water sports. Why, you ask? Wakesurfing is like spontaneous surfing on the waves. The rope connected to the boat is just used to be pulled into the water, then let go, while the boat continues to provide waves that are there for you to continue surfing.

Wakeboarding is different method. Wakeboarding uses the rope to be pulled into the water, yes. But, still holding on to the rope all the way, and just gliding and surfing through the water with the guidance of the rope is how wakeboarding works.

Wakeboarding and wakesurfing are often interchanged, but it’s not really hard to know which is which.

This is why most people who get into water sports, or wakeboarding specifically, always workout their grips. It may seem easy to hold on to the rope while wakeboarding, but it isn’t always. It’s best to have a firm grip of the rope, and a strong arm to make sure you would not let go of the rope while you are being pulled by the rope.

The workout for wakeboarding is almost like the workout for wakesurfing. You have to strengthen your core so you make sure that when you are being pulled by the boat, it would look like you’re fighting back and pulling the boat instead. You need strong arms, making sure they are not bent when you are wakeboarding. If your arms are bent, it could strain your arm when you are being pulled by the boat, or it may weaken your grip and simply make you let go a little too early.

The difficulty level of wakeboarding versus wakesurfing may differ, and it would depend entirely on the athlete.

Wakeboarding can be difficult to keep track of the waves, and your grip will loosen and weaken eventually if you go on for a while wakeboarding. In the meanwhile, wakesurfing can be pretty difficult because you will need to

surf the waves created by the boat –  and you could surf in 10 seconds, or last up to 30 seconds. So, their difficulties are not really the same, but you could encounter these challenges on both water sports and not exclusively on only one.

GETTING READY FOR WAKEBOARDING

• Make sure your body is ready for wakeboarding. Nurse any sore muscles back to it’s good health. Make sure you’re eating well and hydrating with healthy fluids. It is important to remember that physical health is important.
• Be motivated and focused. Sadly, you need the passion and focus to try this sport – or at least learn it first. You won’t always get the chance to perfect every try at first, but learn along the way. Keep a clear mind, concentrate on what your coaches and trainers are saying, and focus on the fun water sport!
• Make sure you bring everything you need. It does not matter if you are a beginner or a pro at this, make sure you need the essentials packed anyway. You will need water and sunscreen to protect you from the sun and keep you hydrated. You will also need comfortable swimwear, because you will need all the guts you can get. Always make sure you bring extra dry clothes and a towel for you to change into after the course. And, make sure you pack your enthusiasm – because you will be experiencing some awesome moments when you start wakeboarding.
