Estelle Low tries out cable skiing at the newly opened Singapore Wake Park, and learns that it’s one of the best-kept secrets to sculpting a bikini body.
Wakeboarding is one of those sports for daredevils, I’ve always thought. Save for a compulsory trial during my university orientation camp, I’ve never got around to doing it.
Besides the fear of falling (which is a big deal for noobs like myself), I’d like to think that this sport isn’t that accessible or convenient. You’d have to head all the way to Marina Country Club in a far-flung part of Punggol, get driven by boat out to sea, and pray for good weather.
Plus, wakeboarding can take a toll on your wallet. A one-hour session costs $100 to $150. Going in a group is more economical, except that you’ll have less time on the water, and will take longer to master the skills.
Another bugbear: Gathering enough interested folks to form a group.
So in this regard, the newly opened Singapore Wake Park is a godsend to anyone who’s interested to wakeboard.
The difference between cable skiing and wakeboarding Cable skiing is similar to wakeboarding in the sense that you’re pulled while standing on a wakeboard. The main difference is the source of the force. In wakeboarding, the energy comes from the boat’s engine; in cable skiing, an electrically driven overhead cable system does the job.
