Wakeboarding, Camarines Sur Watersports Complex

 

A fan of water sports? Grab yourself and friends to experience the rush on wakeboarding! It is a sport developed to combine water skiing, surfing and snowboarding which involves riding a wakeboard over a body of water. This has been one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Ooppsss, wait! Wakeboarding in the Philippines? A big YES! To my knowledge, there were already different resorts all over Philippines (e.g Batangas, Cebu, Davao) offering this cool adventure to attract water sports enthusiasts, guests and tourists. The first to establish and design different kinds of exciting activities and water fun adventure in the country is the CWC Camarines Sur Watersports Complex in Pili, Camarines Sur.


I, myself was dreaming to explore such kind of sport. Why did I highly recommend it? Because I never expected that this image of me holding on to that cable, setting my feet on a wakeboard will be realized. Well, I did it at the beginners area! Hahaha...you may laugh at me but yes, at first I admit, I am so aggressive and confident that it was just easy and could go to the professional stage. It looks very easy. But man, it was not that simple as I imagined. You need to balance your body weight with the board and never to pull the cable towards you. Satisfied? No, so I went trying all over again so I can cross to the other end. Because I failed during my first visit, I went back for the second time around. Success! No sweats! Next step? To complete at least a round in the professional arena!!! But I guess, I can only have the guts when I get another chance for a third or more visits."It's a challenge!"

Aside from wakeboarding, CWC has a lot to offer for your own convenience. For me who dares to be different and embraces any adventure, that was one of the coolest place and experience ever had. Want to know more about CWC? They also offer international watersports competition!
