After Christmas, I flew to the Philippines with my brothers and Sami. We
spent a month wakeboarding at CWC Wake Park. Sami's sister, Bronwyn, flew
over from Taiwan and spent the first week with us. Unfortunately we were
greeted with lots of wind and rain so spent most of our first week in the cabin
playing Uno cards and most nights ended up at Happy Endings bar.
To pass the time
while the weather was bad, we did a bit of sightseeing. We went to a market in
the city central, spent many hours relaxing in the hot springs, shopping at the
SM mall and trying out different foods. my favourite restaurant was "Take
Me Out" with the most delicious burgers and tacos.
The weather improved in the second week and we were able to spend more
time on the water. This is by far the best cable I have been to. There are
so many features, so many new things you want to try, you can never get bored! We got up early most mornings to get
the good water before the wind picked up in the afternoons. Some morning we
would head down to the 2.0's before the full cable opened and do air trick
sessions. Maxine and Jason encouraged me try my first s-bend. Maxine is one of the best riders in the world so it was awsome to get coaching from her. It’s always fun riding with other
girls, especially when there is so much you want to learn from them. One of the highlights of my trip was hitting the hand rail at the plaza system. If it wasn't for jb who pushed me do it, I would never of hit it so THANK YOU JB!
Jordan arrived towards the end of the second week and brought some sunshine with him. It was really nice to spend some time together. We all had alot of fun riding and filming. A week later, a
typhoon hit the whole of the Philippines and we were once again stuck indoors
playing Uno cards for the weekend. The one night I thought our roof was going to blow off but
fortunately we were all safe haha. Sami and Christopher were due to leave on the
Monday. All airports were closed and flights cancelled. Everyone was stressing
that they were not going to be able to leave. Luckily for them, the storm cleared and they were able
to fly out on time.
We spent the last week doing lots of riding, filming and taco eating. I am really happy to have had the opportunity to meet so many new people. This trip was
such an amazing experience and lots of good memories were made. CWC - until next time!
Thank you LiquidForce for my new 2015 setup for my trip!
