How Water Park Can Help You Achieve The Bikini Body

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.
