Personal: Wakeboarding by Cable
The 1st Muhlach Wakeboarding Championship was Sports Unlimited's feature story last night. The event was launched and hosted by Aga Muhlach himself. It was held at Lago de Oro at Calatagan, Batangas, Philippines.
While watching the show, I can't help but recall the excitement it brought to me when I first wore the orange lifevest, kneeled on a beginner's wakeboard (first timers were encouraged to do "thing" while kneeling), grabbed the cable, and splashed-tumbled-splashed into the water. I can say that this water sport is very addicting even if I've only done it for an hour since I can't just simply wait for my turn (me and my (office) teammates were on rotation). In that entire hour, I was only able to make a complete round twice, and that was during my last 2 runs. But I can say that that 2 complete rounds were very very fulfilling. If only time and money was not a factor, I've probably done it for the entire day. The feeling it gave me was very similar to the first time I've done scuba diving. Ironically, I still haven't perfected the art of floating on water. I also have a slight fear of doing water sports since I've almost drowned more than a couple of times. Too bad...
Another resort that offers wakeboarding by cable here in the Philippines is the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC) situated at Camarines Sur (located in the central part of the Bicol Region, south of Metro Manila).
My dad wanted to go to CWC. Of course I said I also wanted too, hoping that he is serious about it. When that time comes, I'm going to make sure that I have pictures taken as remembrance.
To make this long story short, Wakeboarding is a must-try water sport. :)
