Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC)
Wakeboarding had its beginnings in the 1980s which was developed from a combination of water skiing and snowboarding.  It is a surface water sport that involves riding on a wakeboard while being pulled through a cable over the surface of a body of water.As a sport-nonloving and sun-hating person, wakeboarding doesn’t sound appealing to me.  But as we arrived in CWC, I was thrilled!  Just one look at a certain person wakeboarding made me think that I’ve got to try it!  So without any second thought, I rushed into the registration for some wakeboarding paraphernalia!

Unfortunately, the first try was unsuccessful so I went for my second try…..

Surprisingly lucky, I got a success from my second try!  I was elated by the moment I stood up!  I felt like a pro and was so overwhelmed with the very good outcome as a beginner.  Now I experienced a “beginner’s luck”!  And thank heavens I got wonderful shots!

On the other hand, success comes with failures.  So want some behind the scenes of this wakeboarding beginner’s luck?  Have a glimpse of my semplangs and just imagine all the water that entered my nose and swallowed!

With the not so braveheart I have, it was good enough there’s water to catch me.  ‘Coz in contrast with zipline in which I consider death-defying, there’s really nothing to catch you when you fall.  Thus, it’s more fun to wakeboard and you better try it!  Visit CWC in Pili, Camarines Sur for that totally awesome adventure!
