My life sucks. After two months in Indo at the beginning of summer and then two and a half more months of $10 a day tubes back in Indo at the end of summer, I went to Singapore to partake in the inaugural IFC (International Flowboarding Championship). What a craphole that island paradise is...not! It is a little expensive after coming from Bali, but with a perfect 10 foot non-stop barreling left who the hell cares. If you're ever stuck in the Changi Singapore Airport for an infamous layover make your way to Sentosa Island. It's about a $30 2o-minute taxi ride away or you can take the subway/train and get there for like $5. Just get out of that damn airport!!! You can also go visit the Orchard Towers for a delicious all you can eat buffet of Asian delicacies...

Wes is actually a pro bodyboarder, but you'd never tell from his stylish flowboarding
Singapore breezes are hard to come by, but you're thankful when they do blow through
