We had lots of fun by the sea with you guys! A big thank you for all of you who turned up and gave our boards a go. Here are some snippets of what went down on Sunday during the Paddles on Wave event:
Bonus points if you caught sight of the girl chasing her runaway skateboard in the background!
People’s Association (PA) is organizing its 2018 Paddles on WaVe event, and SURFSET Singapore is going to be there!
We were actually part of the line-up two years ago, remember? No? See what went on at PA Paddles on WaVe 2016.
Paddles on WaVe is a one-day event with lots of sand-and-sea fun, described as “a combination of water and beach lifestyle sport carnival”. To be specific, it’s PA Water-Venture East Coast who’s organizing this event.
Activities include Kayaking, Stand-up Paddling, Windsurfing, Beach yoga, and of course SURFSET Fitness. Read more
Our friends from The Yoga Mandala came by for our first ever Acroyoga ACROVINYASA Workshop! Leading the class was Sara Wee and Rachel Ng, who led us from solo vinyasas, to (erm) team-bonding activities, and finally with partner inversions and acroyoga. A happy group of 15 SURFSET regulars turned up to get stacked and get jacked.
Sara did promise that things may get chaotic during the session, and boy it did. Lots of triumphant high-fives, spotters rushing to catch a fall, nervous laughter, flat-out laughter, and the occasional scream. Needless to say, we all had great fun. Shuyi had the foresight to get her husband help film a short video for the enjoyment of everyone. Here it goes!
Acroyoga is a sort of yoga abomination – we say that because we’re so used to having the peaceful, dependable earth beneath our bodies for regular yoga. Acroyoga? You throw that out the window, and opt to have a flimsy human below you instead. What? Why?
Wait – that’s pretty much the whole concept of SURFSET, isn’t it – except you switch out flimsy human to unstable surfboard? That probably explains it: firstly, it’s a challenge. Also, there’s the whole notion of trust with another person. Thirdly, there is an undeniable appeal to having some acro yoga shots in your Instagram. Just check these out –
Wait… has two months passed already? It’s already March? No public holidays? Well, it’s time to get back on track (if you haven’t) and back on board! We have our instructor Stephanie coming up with the challenge poses this month. Say hi to her when you see her at the studio!
Kukkuta! It’s the year of the rooster! Time to puff up your chest and prepare your thighs, cos it’s challenge time! Can’t do it? Wing it!
As usual, we shall go straight into poses and not mention things like pinapple tarts, bak kwa, and yusheng. Onward!
Happy 2017! Last year was a great one for us, and we’re thankful for all the support and love we’ve been given by all of you! Now, on to better things this year – and by better things, we mean challenges!
We think January is a great way to kick off the year, with the first official working day on the 3rd; the fewer working days (18 by some counts); and of course, Chinese new year! In between all these revelry, we do hope you give us some time and attention to get on board with us!
This month, we’ve got our cover girl, Hot Momma, demonstrating the challenge poses. She’s also the one drawing up these cute stick figures! (What can we say? She’s multi-talented.)
It’s November! We promise not to start playing any Christmas jingles in our studio just yet, so don’t worry.
New models for this month’s challenge poses! They were all willing participants and none were harmed in the capturing of these photos. But first – our regular stick figure stars!
It’s October! It’s officially the month of Autumn (sadly, not in Singapore), Deepavali (on a Saturday?!), and Halloween (only at month-end!).
Everyone had fun last month with our challenge poses, especially with all the teaming up in Warrior partner poses. This month, we’ve included another partner pose for getting all snuggly with a chum.
Everybody gets extra points for doing challenge poses in scary costumes! OK, sexy also can la.
I think we overused the Greenday references last year, so we shall refrain from talking about sleeping in September. So, let’s talk about working out. Challenge poses for the month of September are up! We’re going with some pretty challenging poses this month.
