gotta love wakeboarding!

lately, i have been a lazy bum. i quit working out. i stopped playing sports thus, gaining unwanted weight! i am not depressed or anything. i just think that there is no inspiration to be fit anymore. haaha i know that was such a bad excuse but i could not really think what started all these crazy binge-ing. it is such huge pain to lose those calories.

a few days back, me and my friends went to the newly-renovated papa kits in liloan, cebu to try out fishing but we were surprised beyond imagination that the whole place was revamped and made into some kind of adventure place. there was zipline and monkey bridge and wall climbing and other fun stuff aside from the fishing experience. but what really got me excited was their wakeboarding.

so what is wakeboarding? according to wiki:

on a personal note, i should say that it is a sport which needs balance, body core, upper body strength (esp the biceps and triceps) and of course determination to stand up on the board and just get it on!

if you are living in cebu city, cebu wake park (which is inside papa kits) is the nearest place you can actually try and learn the sport. it is just about 20 mins ride if you pass by the newly developed road going to liloan. i'm not really good at directions so i will just gice you the map going there. i advise you to take this route for lesser hassle and lesser traffic too.

you know you are in the right direction when you pass by this beautiful bridge

last sunday afternoon, we finally decided to go out and  learn it. unfortunately, a lot of people were already lining up up to the last hour of operations so we were not able to hop on. the manager told us to call them first for reservation to be able to get a sure spot.

yesterday was truly our time cos there were only 5 of us playing. me, jp, slater young, divine, and a college dude whose name i forgot (i know have bad social ethics)

so here are the pictures we got. not too many though cos we were really enjoying the game the whole time, we lose the interest to take some really nice snaps. 

i have to say that the crew and operators at cebu wake park are the best! they really are patient and
great coaches! 

for beginners, this is the kind of board to use
wherein the shoes are just velcro strap-ons. it is easier
to remove when you fall from the board

wakeboarding is a little hard especially that you need balance and strength but it is really worth the try. after about 30 mins i was able to ride the board without falling off the water! YEYY! jp took a video of it so enjoy! P.S. if you are really into water sports its good to invest in go pro so the vid and photos are awesome! 

there you go! i hope you guys will also try it out and don't forget to like: https://www.facebook.com/cebuwake

and just to loop you with what i said in the introduction, wakeboarding is a fun way to workout. it gives you adrenaline rush and makes you forget that you're actually burning those fats in a fun fun way. let me know how it goes for you!
