Flow League

Flow League 2011 Presented by Billabong

The first ever Flow League is coming to Wave House Sentosa!

Starting July 12th the Flow League will give local riders of all skill levels a chance to compete and show their moves. The league will have 8 teams each with 5 riders per team ranging from experts to beginners. Body boarders are also welcome to join the action, as each team will require one. Once a week teams will compete head to head with each skill level riding against the other. Team points will be added up to show which team knows how to flow the best. The top 4 teams will compete in the Flow Offs on August 25th to determine the league champs.
