Wave House Sentosa ­– Great Food, Cool Drinks, and the Best Waves

Singapore had no waves for surfing, and California was on the other side of the world – until Wave House brought it all to Sentosa.

Wave House Sentosa is the fourth and newest installation in an archipelago of Wave Houses that stretches from Durban in South Africa, San Diego in California, to Santiago in Chile. This latest addition to the Wave House chain is loated on the sandy beaches of Sentosa, a small island off the Singapore mainland, the southern most tip of the Asian Continent.

Singapore has long been a crossroads for surfers seeking the perfect waves at beaches around Southeast Asia, however the island itself lacks the giant waves which surfers long for. Wave House has brought a perfect, endless, 10’ barrel wave that rivals those at the beaches of Uluwatu, Grajagan or Macaronis, Indonesian coasts which boast the best waves around Singapore.

The centerpiece of Wave House Sentosa is “The Wave” - a fully-flowing, FlowBarrel^® sheet wave that approximates a roaring, 10-foot wave when it’s cranked to setting 11. Invented by Tom Lochtefeld, the founder and CEO of Wave House (and a surfer himself), sheet waves pump water at a high speed over stationary curved walls to generate barreling and smooth waves. The waveform is a proprietary composite membrane ride surface that is designed to absorb the energy of impacts. So rest assured – even if you wipeout, you’ll soon be back on your feet.

This is a twenty-first century form of alchemy that has combined surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding and almost any sport wth the word board in it. Since the early 1990s, the world’s best board riders have cross-pollinated into flowboarding, taken as seriously as those from the mountains and the sea.

The spots scene in Singapore has finally found middleground at Wave House as a large population of local Singaporean surfers, skaters, skimboarders and even snowboarders, flock to Sentosa in search of perfection on the rushing wave. 

Surrounding the FlowBarrel, Wave House Sentosa is an oasis of good food and drinks - within reach of the hustle and bustle of Singapore, but a world away.

Wave House Sentosa celebrated its opening October 16 – 18, 2009, becoming the coolest place on Sentosa to surf, chill out, dance and listen to DJs and Live Acts, all while interacting with like-minded individuals at the two fancy beach bars.

These diverse experiences, played out on the vast spaces at Wave House Sentosa, makes this the perfect venue for all kinds of gatherings, ranging from private events like birthdays, to school trips and even corporate parties.   

The Wave House has finally brought to Singapore the ideal beach scene that it has always been lacking - the sun, sand, sea and never anding surf.
