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!
Gearing-Up for Adventure! |
Then I was off to my first try!
The Sitting Stride |
Unfortunately, the first try was unsuccessful so I went for my second try.....
The Water Stride |
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!
Another Simple Wish Granted |
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!
Not So Epic Fails |
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!
