SCARYNOTSOSCARY: My First Try to Wakeboard :)

Whoa! first post after a decade hahaha. I am so excited to share with you my first try to wakeboard (finally!!!) Remember my first post about decawake park at clark, angeles city? Well, that was actually the start of a regular bonding session with my cousin. I wasn't really keen on trying to ride a board, be thrown on that water and dragged by the cable wire like I always see while watching those beginners take their turns. I mean who wants to experience such pain and embarrassment? but hey! that's not the end of the story yet. 

So, one day I wake up singing a different tune. "I wanna try to wakeboard!" FOR REAL no more scaredy cat, no more backing out! Woohoo  First thing in the morning I prepared the things that I will bring. 

extra clothes to change after    ☑

money                                        ☑

soap and shampoo                     ☑

yakult                                         ☑

And I'm ready!  Oh! I brought yakult just in case I'll be dragged out on the water and accidentally swallowed the water hahaha.

After 30 - 45 minutes drive from our place we've arrived at the decawake park. First thing to do is to go to the counter and register. After registration they will asked what package you'll avail then they will give you wrist bands. We've availed the P400 ($10) for 2 hours package. 

Bands color differs depending on the package you've availed.

They will also give you life vest, helmet and other basic equipment. If you have your own equipment you are entitled to a 10% discount. Beginners also have instructors that will teach them the basics for free! Isn't that great! Now that we've secured everything that we need we started to have a splash. 

SUPER FUN!!!

See that big grin in the middle? Obviously I've enjoyed my first wakeboarding experience. It was scary at first, but once you already get the hang of it you'll never want to come out of the water anymore .

How about you? Have you tried wakeboarding? Share your experience with me. I'm sure you had fun too! 

If you want to try it at Decawake Clark you can see more information on my previous post just click here.

Wakeboarding Adventure @ Deca Wake Park Clark

I am from Pampanga, but I seldom go out ever since I decided to stay here for good. So, I never imagine that this province have a lot of a must travel places that any adventure seeker/sports enthusiast would love to hang out!

So, last week my cousin and I decided to go to Angeles City to seek some adventure and have that much needed rest. We travel for 30 minutes from our place to reach our destination. We entered a subdivision and boy! Am I surprised to see a wake-boarding park at the heart of a city?!?  I was literally amazed as I never thought Cable wake-boarding exist!  LOL

The place actually looks like a club house in a typical subdivision/village.

Receiving Area

Rates Posted on the upper part of the receiving area and smaller one on top of the table

My cousin was the only one who registered as I didn't bring extra clothes much to my cousin's dismay. Also, I don't have yet the guts to try it. I decided to just took some photos of him in action while I'm munching on some Pringles :D

Oh, they also sell clothes just in case you forgot to bring extra and you really wanna try to wake-board.

clothes from: stoked inc, ripcurl etc

My Best friend that day :D

And here's the wake-boarding area. Yes, it is man-made! :D

And those are cable wires!

First try?? :D

On his first try I was taking my #selfies and was surprised that he is swimming to the ladder, but he manage to have good runs on the water after.

I actually took a video, so you guys know how he fares :D

And here's some selfies :D

Those things at the back are boards...

Afterwards we decided to go to Nepo Quad to have our lunch at New York Supreme and a quick fix of pastries at A La Creme.
