Travel Footprints

There’s more to CWC than just wakeboarding action apparently. And it’s just across the wakeboarding park in a place called Lago del Ray. Talk about going back to second childhood –

Getting on it is much harder than it looks, trust me.

That is just a glimpse of our laugh trip. What was especially hilarious while we were trying out the inflatables at Lago del Ray (e.g., giant slide, trampoline, iceberg) was we were actually imagining a voice-over narration of all our bloopers ala-Takeshi’s Castle. The fee of Php120 (good for one hour) per person was totally worth it. All the fun and laughters while we complete the ‘challenges’ of the inflatables were absolutely priceless!

On the first weekend of August, the Roños with a couple of friends escaped the drab weather of Manila and boarded an early morning flight to Naga in Bicol region via PAL Express (Air Philippines) to finally experience the world-renowned CamSur Watersports Complex. We’ve been hearing a lot about this state-of-the-art wakeboarding park that put the tourism right smack on an otherwise sleepy town of Pili, Naga. We arrived Naga at 7:00am and we loooved the fact that CWC offers a FREE shuttle service from the airport to the complex!

The free shuttle service comes with our stay in Villa del Rey at only Php1,350 for 2 persons

As soon as we arrived at CWC, we secured our day villa with the best view of the wakeboarding park (those same day villas we got were reserved for ‘Aga Muhlach and Friends’ for a private party on August 8).

First order of the day was to catch up on our sleep in our day villa

This would be the same group who, back in 2004, trooped to Calatagan, Batangas to try out Lago de Oro’s cable wakeboarding park. But after seeing the regular wakeboarders do their run at the CWC wakeboarding park, we were totally mesmerized.

Mr. Roño was not about to let the day pass without trying on the wakeboard, though.

To ramp or not to ramp?
