If you have what it takes to be a ‘water’ ninja, here is a contest for you to show off your skills.
You can fight it out alone or form a team to do so.
This year’s DBS Marina Regatta, which will be held at Marina Bay from June 1 – 4, will set the stage with a huge inflatable water obstacle course taking up an area of about 110 square metres at the bay area for this eventX,
Called ‘Battle Bay’, it will challenge contestants with nine obstacles such as balancing blocks, monkey bars, wall scaling, and rope swings.
The water obstacle course at the sixth edition of the regatta will be its largest ever seen. Last year’s event saw visitors enjoying thrills on a 16-metre-high inflatable slide and a small obstacle course for kids.
For the coming event, individual contestants and teams can stand to win up to $8,000 in cash prizes.
Apart from the usual boating and sailing competitions, the regatta will offer lifestyle attractions to draw more participants. More details are in their website: www.dbsmarinaregatta.com
Here are 4 other highlights that will excite the lover of food, booze and dance:
