Venue: Bedok Reservoir (across the road from Waterfront Key, 770 Bedok Reservoir Road)
Wakefest Singapore is one of 4 stops of IWWF Asia's Wakesurf Series.
Wakeboard & Wakesurf Contest, open to residents in Singapore & Asia
The 2018 Singapore Inter Varsity & Polytechnic Wakeboard Championships will kick off the event.
• Wakeboarding is a freestyle sport that has developed from surfing and waterskiing, with influences from skateboarding and snowboarding. Riders perform flips, tricks, spins and a variety of other gravity-defying aerial stunts, sometimes as high as 20-feet in the air. A competitive freeride format will be used and riders will be judged on 3 style categories: Execution, Intensity and Composition. Riders will perform complex manoeuvres off the boat's wake.
• Wakesurfing is a water sport in which a rider trails behind a boat, riding the boat's wake without being directly pulled by the boat. After getting up on the wake, typically by use of a tow rope, the wakesurfers will drop the rope, and ride the steep face below the wave's peak in a fashion reminiscent of surfing. Wakesurfers generally use special boards, designed specifically for wakes.
