Missing kayaker may have capsized in area called 'washing machine' where water churns you around

The woman’s kayak is believed to have capsized in the waters between Sentosa and Pulau Tekukor, in a patch of sea known as the Buran Channel, reported Shin Min Daily News on Monday.
Mr Sim said: “It’s a spot where moving waters hit fixed objects – the blue floating drums pinned to the sea floor, known as floating sea barriers. So, if you’re in between, it’s pretty risky because you’re pinned between two objects with forces pushing against them.”
Ninja Kayakers Foilers founder Clarence Chua said the Buran Channel is a “notoriously difficult” stretch of water.
“We call it a ‘washing machine’ because the water just churns you around – left, right, up and down,” he added.
Mr Chua, 39, who has more than 20 years of kayaking experience and has run kayaking tours in Singapore for about a decade, said: “I got into trouble there myself. We paddled as hard as we could but the current kept sweeping us backwards.
“It’s hard even for experts, and definitely not a place for beginners.”
In 2021, six people were rescued after their kayaks capsized in the same tricky spot. The group was on a guided tour with Kayakasia to the Southern Islands when they were thrown overboard by swift currents.
