Just starting off a series of instructional videos on how to roll your kayak and the major techniques for doing so.
Our island of Singapore is surrounded by water. There are endless possibilities to what we can do on the water. Possibilities to reach where no others do. At our own pace, on our own terms. Welcome to On Waters

The End of a Hard Week!
Sometimes the only thing to do at the end of a hard week is to head out onto the waters. To be free, to be one again with the wind and sky.
The gear is simple but it brings so much joy.

Mandai Mangroves Feb 15
When someone told me about this paddle into the Mandai mangroves concentrated around Sungai Mandai Besar and Kechil, I knew I just had to try this paddle. The mangroves are an Important Bird Area and a stop over for bird species who find a warm refuge during the bitter winter months of the Northern hemisphere.
We started off early and headed north into the mangroves. The paddle was easy with some fun finding our way through the mangroves without entangled in them.
We spotted grey herons, green and red shanks and kingfishers. I only know these names as my fellow paddlers were avid birders with the Nature Society of Singapore.
I will paddle here again. The waters, the birds, getting away from it all. These reasons beckon me to return.
