Wakeboarding in CamSur

Day 3
November 28, 2011
Naga City

We left Donsol early the next morning again to transfer to our 3rd and final hotel - Vista Al Mayon Pensionne. After checking-in, we travelled for about 2 hours to get to Panicuason hot spring in Naga city, where we enjoyed the cold spring water and the hot sulfuric water.





Later in the afternoon, we went to CamSur Watersports Complex or CWC. I had no idea what CWC was nor what wakeboarding was so I was pleasantly surprised to see the place. The first thing I noticed was the first-class ambiance of the resort. There were a lot of foreigners - there were actually more foreigners than Fillipinos. It felt like I was on another country.  Now I know why there are very few foreigners in Manila - they are in CamSur.

As it was already late in the afternoon, we immediately proceeded to the beginner's area to try wakeboarding. Unfortunately, it was under maintenance and after an hour of waiting, we all just went to the main lake where all the professionals were and instead tried kneeboarding, which was easier than wakeboarding. It was an exhilarating experience though a bit hard (some of the girls fell off the board and they were just starting!). I would return to Bicol just for this.

Later on, us boys were able to try wakeboarding while the girls enjoyed massage, before we called it a night.
