FAQ

Can I surf in Singapore?

Yes, although Singapore doesn’t have the best waves for surfing, there are small swells that are great for beginners. For more experienced surfers, nearby spots in Indonesia and Malaysia are just a short trip away.

How do I improve my balance for surfing?

Improving your balance is key to becoming a better surfer. We recommend practicing balance exercises on land, such as yoga, skateboarding, or using a balance board to simulate surfing movements.

What’s the best time of year to go on a surf trip?

It depends on where you’re headed! Generally, the best waves are during the local swell seasons. For example, the dry season from May to October is ideal for surfing in Bali. Always check the swell forecast before planning your trip.

How do I protect my skin while surfing?

Sun protection is essential for surfers. Always wear reef-safe sunscreen, and consider wearing a rash guard or wetsuit to protect against UV rays. Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen after every session.

What’s the most eco-friendly surfboard material?

Traditional surfboards are made from materials that aren’t very eco-friendly, but there are alternatives. Eco-friendly boards made from recycled materials, sustainably sourced wood, or plant-based resins are becoming more popular. These boards reduce the environmental impact of surfboard production.
