  actually my brother in law but.. heehee... i used to rent the bumboats from Changi Pier to go fishing. That was a few years ago. $300 whole day fishing. 9 - 5/6. I am not sure if Ah Chong is still there (he always drop his handphone into water and always change number one) but if u ask around, he is very good.. usually bring us to reasonably good spots.

  i took one PA seasports.. now water venture..

   

  i did the one as .. err...  I think issit Pasir Ris.. can't rmemeber.. .. its VERY MUDDY though the area.. sometimes up to my knees in MUD. quite gross.

   

  The cheapest one I believe in Sembawang SAF Sailing Club.. but that one very out of the way.

   

  If u intend to 'brush up' ur skills.. go water venture better ba.. easier to rent boats anyway around sg. (even though I think their staff super attitude problem.)

  i did mine in SAF yacht club.. the instructor was very patient and professional. quite a no. of ppl got psychomotor problems even if they always thought they dont have..so many can't coordinate their rudder e.g. (if push up means the boat turn left ma if push down the boat turns right, if complete turn alot of ppl also forget to duck the swinging mast] in the end so many nonsense accident,some crash into jetty. some head baluku by the swinging mast. but the instructor was very patient with these ppl hahaha. if me ar, teach so many times like that i give up on them sia hahaha

  issit? mebbe i'll do my PICo there then.. cos my experience with water venture for kayaking not tt good just that they are convenient only.

   

  hee yaa.. i lot of people kenna the boom.. especially tall people! (i don't have this problem.)but I think it is very good for people who wanna learn windsurfing... esp the tacking agains tthe wind

  
  if they dont learn sailing first.. its just too much to handle.. balancing, moving, ducking, AND thinking about wind direction!
