Wakeboarding at CWC Pili, CamSur, originally uploaded by Enrico_Dee.

Who would ever thought that a world-calss wakeboarding facility exists in Bicolandia?

Wakeboarding, as definined in wikipedia, as a surface water sport which involves riding the wake of a speed boat on a single board. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snow boarding and surfing techniques. Some people believe that wakeboarding is a copy of skurfing but actually they have different characteristics.

Technically speaking, the CamSur Water Sports Complex (or CWC) is a cable boarding facility. they do not use speed boats to pull you instead you are connected to a cable that’s moving around the man-made lake. The speed is fast enough to make your fancy moves and jumps.

The price? It’s the world’s cheapest! Really. For just over 600 (six hundred) pesos, you can wakeboard at CWC for the entire day. The price is inclusive of basic tutorials and the equipment.

And to prove to the world that CWC is really a world-class facility, our country (yeahbaby! That’s the Philippines!) will be hosting the 2008 World Wakeboarding Championsips in CWC.

For those who are not fond of these extreme sport, you can also dip in their cool blue swimming pool, or get a relaxing massage in one of their native huts. The facility is located in Pili, Camarines Sur.
