With its limitless selection of exciting restaurants, hawker fare and mighty skyscraper cocktail bars, Singapore is better known as an extreme foodie destination than an extreme sports destination. But beneath those tasty streets, and in between those monstrous shopping malls, a subculture of adrenalin junkies has turned the Lion City into one big playground. Whether you’re simply passing through on an extended layover, or planning to spend a considerable amount of time in Singapore, these are the places you need to visit to get that all important dose of excitement. 1.       Get wet and wonderfully wild at the simulated surf wave Even nature can’t stop Singapore being one of the most dynamic cities on earth. There may not be any natural waves on the shores of the Lion City, but thanks to Wave House Sentosa, you can go surfing whenever you’re in the mood. If you’ve never surfed before, then you can start with the gentle waves of the FlowRider, while the FlowBarrel is an intimidating, 10ft barrelling wave, perfect for even the most experienced surfers. Of course, if you’d prefer to just watch, that’s totally fine too. There are two beach bars to keep yourself hydrated at and a wave-free pool to cool off in. Gnarly, dudes! 2.       Feeling board? Skate your way to happiness! Looking to get your fix? Streets too busy? Then Singapore is the perfect place to indulge in your favourite past time. With an abundance of new skate parks and a large number of skate shops – it’s fairly easy to bag yourself a bargain as the competition between them is high. If the weather is not in your favour, head to Love Skate Park for some indoors action. Check online to discover the huge skater community in Singapore where to hook up with buddies, find the best places to shop and competition dates – Competitions are huge over here and many boarders often get sponsorship from them. You will never be short of places to skate and the community is very welcoming – you won’t be short on skater buddies either. 3.       Need a lift? Wakeboarding and water-skiing To really stretch your limbs and get the adrenalin rush you’re craving, why not head down to Ski360.

Set your heart rate to its limit as you free-fall without a parachute. That’s right it is possible to do this without dying! Take a turn in the flight chamber and you feel as though you are really falling from 12,000 to 3,000 feet.

In Singapore? Yes! The fastest growing extreme sport on earth, kite surfing mixes the beauty and grace of surfing with the speed and aggressiveness of windsurfing.
