organise a session for sebana...

 

think can get $100 per person for all day riding.

can take the same boat to the place so no need to pay for ferry tickets.

 

another 20 or 30 ringgit for lunch will do.

lunch will be from a kelong.

 

but must try to get at least 5 ppl.

 

therefore, either weekday or weekend no prob...

the water condition there will be good for beginners or first timers to practise.

 

and if can get video or digi cam will be fun.

can take it as a short holiday.

 

if you can find the ppl i will try to get this rate from the boatman.

 

to be considered.

where to bathe ah???or change if need to??

[Krissy]

me still waiting for my may schedule to come out leh...manager damn slow....

 

she tua me lah..supposed to be off today,...last min change...now back in office...sianz

 

me onz for sebana....cool place...

[Krissy]

definitely will have interested friends...but i doubt any of them can make it weekdays...

 

is there any difference in rates for weekdays and weekends?

 

hopefully i will have one off day that is weekend in may...then we can make it that day???

[AliDavidSum]

Check out with ProAir just now.

 

The 3 + 1 hour free is applicable for both weekday & weekends. The only different is the rate for weekends are $10 more

 

But many May weekend I am busy, may be free on 22 or 29th only. Weekday half day should not be a problem, unless I have mission impossible,

[Krissy]

my schedule is out...damn shitty...

 

off on 7/5 (friday), 10/5 (monday), 14/5 (fri), 21/5 (fri), 24/5 (mon)

 

half days, until 1pm on 17/5 and 31/5, both mondays

 

so how???

[Alvin.Y]

I'm quite free till mid june when I got reservist and then back to the books

 

Where's this sebana by the way?

[Alvin.Y]

All rite, I'm onzz for it

I only know how to stand up, no tricks no nothing.

Best if any pros here can impart to me some skills

[AliDavidSum]

I can make it on 10th May.

 

However, $135 is a bit high for me lah..which is why I prefer ProAir.

 

Of course, majority WINS

[Krissy]

i think we got our 5 loh...engineer okay...but gotta confirm in advance so that he can arrange his off...

 

told him it was $100 thou..before i saw the $135 msg...

[Alvin.Y]

 

and from earilier post, I believe everybody , if not most live in west side (jurong area?) Best lah, i lived near the jurong east sports complex, the one with stadium and swimming pool

 

Will be in malaysia trekking for the rest of the week. Thanx guys for organising

[Krissy]

the engineer not confirm yet one leh..coz he gotta make sure he can change his off day

 

he will get back to me...

 

but if less than 5 people how??or more than 5 people how???

[Alvin.Y]

I have not gone to sebana before so I wouldn't mind trying e waters there, maybe it taste different when u splash head first... What other perks are there of wakeboarding in sebana?

 

However, i feel that for practical reasons, I would say wakeboarding in singapore is fine too.

 

A) Cheaper

B) Aren't all the waters the same?? (newbie speaking)

C) No need to wake up so early( maybe)-- jurong to pasir ris is a pain staking 45 mins ride , and whats more during peak hour Unless u all aren't riding there..

 

Whatever it is, I am fine with the choices available. If everyone is flexible as well, I feel that we should just go ahead with the decision of the organiser

[AliDavidSum]

Check with ProAir:

 

3 + 1 hours is promotion price, which means there is no discount for members

 

Whole day is 8 + 1 hours, and additional discount for members. No need to have passport.

 

Personally, I prefer ProAir because cost per pp will be cheaper for half day.

 

During last session, all of us have body ache all over us even when we WB for half a day. If it is whole day, some of us may have to crawl to office the following day, which is not good when many bosses find excuses to fire pp. Please consider this factor carefully.

 

Another thing, with some pp close to performing spring roll, it may mean almost 1 hour per person. So for 1/2 day, it is best keep to 4 pp. Having too many will spoil th fun & mood, and not worth the reduce of cost per person.

 

Ez_s_abc, can you confirm the price from William for 4 hours package? No need to include lunch since the lunch package is cheap. Personally, I prefer session of less than $100 per person.

 

More important, can you ask William is water at Sabana choppy in the morning? Usually, sea in morning are much more choppy.

[Krissy]

the last time i went sebana...water in the morning was the best...slightly choppier towards evening time...

 

i'm fine with both sebana and s'pore....but i must say the idea of reaching loyang at 830 abit ah duh....i work until 1015pm on sundays leh....

[Krissy]

the engineer has confirmed!!!!

This is 1 important factor - if leisure of wakeboarding become a chore or budren, the hobby die fast.

 

WB is like long distance ride to Malaysia, having good sleep and rest the day before is a must must. If not, WB with half awake or sleeply mind will not only kill the fun, it can be danagerous too.

 

I do not mind Sebana or ProAir, since cost is the main factor, with all other things being equal. However, I do mind taking extra 1/2 leave just for that extra hour, plus extra 1.5 hour (almost) travel to & fro to Sebana. Also, let Kristy to sleep more on her off day lah.

 

Allow me to suggest - even with 5 pp, let go for 4 hours first. e.g 2-6pm. If we still have energy after 4 hours, having for extra hour on the spot should not be a problem. I do not want to crawel into office the following day.

 

ez_s_abc, can you check with William, if the rate same for WB at local waters?

[AliDavidSum]

Check with you, based on the timing, 2-7pm, it means we do it on local waters?

[Krissy]

once again..let the lady make the decision....hee

 

settle once and for all...2-7pm in local waters with william sports...unless someone got a better deal....

[AliDavidSum]

Monday 2pm with William is fine with me too. Then we can decide who is better, although there may be different opinion.

 

That means we meet directly at his place, or ???

 

Also, instead of straight away 5 hours booking, what about 4 + 1 hour? We book for 4 hours, and if no energy, we can stop, and not pay extra. If get energy, then we continue chiong, and pay the extra hour?

[Krissy]

5 hours is fine for 5 people lah...4 hours too short liao..trust me...wun gt enuff runs

[AliDavidSum]

because you can spring roll already lah...me still can not :cry:

 

So meet where?

[Krissy]

don't know....i need directions.....

 

ez care to ride with me from jurong???hee

 

slow slow thou
