Westside Jam 2008
Venue: Raffles Marina
Date: 1st and 2nd March 2008
Time: 8am to sunset
Westside Jam 2008 is a two-day weekender event that launches this gigantic, 70-foot funbox that cost $15,000 to build. This event is also a platform for adrenaline junkies and regional pros to showcase their tricks and stunts and compete in three categories: wakeboard, wakeskate and wakesurf. Besides earning peer recognition, the competitors stand to win cash and product prizes totaling more than S$50,000 including two signed Manchester United team jerseys that were last sold at an auction for S$20,000 each.
The super-yacht berth at Raffles Marina, Singapore, will be transformed into a seafront stadium just for this event. Spectators, invited guests and competitors can choose to mingle on the berth, or on one of the three event yachts – Fan Rong, Carpe Diem and Oriental Dream.
There’s plenty to do over the two days. You can get baked on the beach, catch the competition, sign up for some wakeboarding lessons, or hang out with a tipple or two. In addition to a rocking party vibe of pumping music and a floating beer bar, a bikini contest by Fish Head Bikinis will set the temperature rising. And do stay for the spectacular sunset.
The Maxout retail boutique will showcase a preview of the latest products from some of the world’s coolest, performance-driven watersports brands such as Gator Boards (championship wakeboards, wakeskates and accessories), O’Neil (watersports apparel), Underground Products (the preferred street label of worldwide wakeboard, wakeskate and BMX champs), Nice (wake, kite, snow and surf bindings and accessories) and Fish Head (boating, fishing and lifestyle apparel).
