Bruh... You guys are the bravest bunch. Not easy to kayak long distance especially on inflatables! How was the itiwit? Did it track and glide well for an inflatable? I wanted to get one but not sure how good it is. And lastly, is the current really strong throughout the journey? i wanted to try on my ISUP but not sure if i can fight the current to and fro from the southern islands.
Hi! The water can be extremely choppy between Sentosa Cove and Pulau Tekukor, so I don't think it would be a good idea to do it on SUP (unless you have a safety boat/kayak following you). Regarding the currents, we usually time and plan our journey so that we are assisted by the tidal streams (rising tide: west; falling tide: east). The Itiwit that we use is the dropstitch version so it's slightly more rigid in rough water. Coming from sprint kayaks in the past, I would say that the tracking and gliding are serviceable at best. The good thing about the Itiwit kayak is that it is extremely stable and it holds its pressure very well through the course of the day so we never saw a need to re-inflate it mid-day.

Hi where can you wash your kayak?
Hi there are many washing points along the beach at sentosa (especially outside the public toilets) where you can wash your equipment.
