Drop Inn Surfing!!!

Wavehouse in Sentosa Island, SIngapore, has been opened for about 2 years since 2009. It opened at around the same time that Drop Inn was opened, but I only had time to go there for the first time on 9 Oct 2011. Well, theoretically, I had been there a couple of times before, but it was just for drinking purposes because they had a promotion that you get a buy-1-get-1-free for everything with RedBull! :) Being slightly alcoholic a good host, of course, I had to bring my guests there to take advantage of such a good deal, especially in an expensive place in Singapore!

9 Oct 2011, it was the day that I tried surfing in Wavehouse for the first time. I must say that I was really scared. Since I was a kid, I was never really an athlete. I was so afraid that I will embarrassed myself! That explains why I did not take any pictures of myself (actually I do, it is just that I looked really really fat, and I do not want another person to comment that I look pregnant).

 That is Camilla trying it on the board! However, she seems to think that bodyboarding is more fun than surfing. Well, I did not try bodyboard, so I have no idea!

Thanks Phuong for these beautiful pictures at the expense at yourself! You helped us to take so many pictures, that is why I do not have many pictures of you. 

This is our group at Wavehouse! It was a bit dark, but because this is the only picture I had of the whole group, I had to put it up! :)

Haikal is my friend is has been to Wavehouse 5-6 times (Accordingly to him). He is the most pro among us! He is also the one who organised this surfing trip!

Simon, I am so sorry I put up a picture of you falling. It was one of the only pictures Phuong had of people falling, thanks for the sacrifice! It is greatly appreciated!

Well, I think this is overall a good trip. The only bad thing is that we had to wait a couple of hours for our turn. Wavehouse does not allow booking over the phone, and by the time we get there, we only managed to get the last slot (10pm-11pm). Iain and I got the membership (which only lasts for 3 months) that gives us a buy-1-hour-get-1-hour-free deal! Each hour costs S$30. Well, it is not exactly the cheapest thing to do, but it is definitely an experience! I have tried surfing (quite horribly) in Bali and wakeboarding in Singapore, and I think that the feeling is more similar to wakeboarding compared to surfing. Even the controlling of the board is similar to wakeboarding!

Great experience and everyone had fun!!!! By the way, we are having a BBQ this Friday (14 Oct 11), join us if you can! :)
