WAKEBOARDING ESCAPADE


Thinking of having  some serious fun under the sun?
Well I have a good suggestion for you,


Why don't you dare yourself to try these water sport that will bring adrenaline pumping thrill while balancing yourself off to waters.
WAKE BOARDING is definitely an action packed leisure one should try!



Whenever I see celebrities trying this watersport, I got really envious!I would always tell myself that one day I will try it myself.


Although this kind of sports really requires flexibility, balance, agility, strength and most of all courage.
This will give you the challenge to surpass and overcome water obstacles.


Wakeboarding is a surface water sport which involves riding a wakeboard over the surface of a body of a water. It was developed from a combination of water skiing, snowboarding and surfing techniques.  The rider is usually towed with a motor boat, closed-course cable system.


Though an extreme sport, its still done by both men and women. Women can do many complex wakeboarding tricks. While doing the activity in Davao, I was really amazed seeing Selena. A 14 year-old wakeboarding champion in Davao playfully balancing herself up while passing different water obstacles.



Before you can do this, you must have a board.


Boards are buoyant with the core usually made up of foam or honeycomb mixed with resin and coated with fiberglass.

For best results and easy wakeboarding, this sport is normally done in lakes, though the intercoastal waterways are also becoming popular

The first try is so crucial, this is the time wherein you will fail many times, it took me the whole day but still i was not able to stand at the board! But its an experience for me that I will always treasure forever!

So for adventure lover Wakeboarding is the sports to be!
