Trifecta by The Ride Side
It’s not everyday that we get to have a taste of extreme sports here on our little island. Wanna go surfing? The biggest wave we have is the Kallang Wave – we love our iconic NDP jig, but still.Â
That’s about to change with Trifecta by The Ride Side, a new sports facility coming soon to the heart of Somerset on 28th October 2023. Think of a complex as large as 4 Olympic-sized pools complete with a skate bowl, surfing simulator, plus virtual reality (VR) snowboarding and skiing simulator. Yup, winter sports in Singapore.Â
First of its kind in Asia, opening in 2023

Covering 49,611sqft, Trifecta is an upcoming sports complex with plenty for thrill seekers to look forward to. If you love an adrenaline-fueled life, keep an eye out for this. It’ll be the first of its kind in Asia, offering snowboarding, surfing, and skating in one complex in the city.Â
The attraction will be open from 7am-12am daily.

For those who love the white-capped waves of Bali, look forward to a new indoor surfing simulator with water columns stretching to a whopping 1.5m. The high-tech wave pool promises plenty of waves to ride on, so time to pull out some slick moves.

For a Singaporean, cruising down snowy mountains on skis or snowboards often requires a lengthy plane ride. Soon, you can pop on a pair of VR goggles and ride the first VR ski simulator in Asia. Tell yourself you’re in Hokkaido, Japan or Zermatt, Switzerland with their speed simulation that replicates uneven mountain slopes.

Inspired by the famous skate bowls of California, Trifecta’s skate bowls will feature the world’s first skateboarding and surfskating bowl for all adrenaline junkies to try out. Not to mention, this will also be the first surfskate circuit on our shores.

The prices are indeed pegged at a pretty penny, from $108 for surfing, $90 for snowboarding and skiing, or $54 for skating. But hey, it eliminates flight ticket costs and annual leave usage for those itching to hit the waves or slopes.
Besides, early birds can also expect up to 10% off passes and packages from now till 4th September 2023.

Food – you’ll definitely need it after a day out playing extreme sports. Foodies may be glad to know that Two Men Bagel House has partnered with the attraction to open Butter. In a cosy 70-seater dining space, refuel on brunch hits like bagels, croissants, and pancakes. Grain bowls are also available for the health conscious.Â
If beer with your skiing or surfing pals sounds like a better idea, they’ve got those too, alongside desserts, and of course, coffee.Â
Look forward to the launch of Trifecta’s new sports facilityÂ

Nothing can replace skiing down an actual mountain, or hitting the waves at Canggu. But if you can’t wait for the holiday season, this is a nifty solution right in the heart of Orchard Road. Surfing, skiing, and skateboarding with your pals and bagels after – imagine that.
