Water sports Adventure

My colleagues and I thought it would be a good idea to go wakeboarding. We spent our Sunday at Lago De Oro in Balibago, Calatagan, Batangas.. It was a three hour drive from Mandaluyong to Batangas and it was absolutely beautiful. Lago De Oro is perfect for those who have always wanted to try their hand at Wakeboarding or knee boarding. We arrived early in the morning. Though we didn’t get the best weather, we still pursued with our plans. After watching a couple of people on the water I was just wowed. Then it was my turn. It was a bit intimidating newbie na newbie ang peg


 
Breakfast at Mcdo Tagaytay
The beginner’s course is shorter. There is one line that goes to and from the base point, where you sit on a ramp, with your feet on the wakeboard. The beginner wakeboard was a slip-on. It was quite unlike the cool boards with the shoes on them.
Here is a photo of me getting into the water.
 Clear your mind, listen to your instructor, and get ready to shred.
Most of the time I kept sinking. But will definitely give it another try.
In wakeboarding, all of your muscles will work simultaneously and will place a lot of strain on arms, legs, core and back. 
Loser kid here!!
I shifted to kneeboarding with a few pointers I'm pro at it in no time. Haha!! 
We'll definitely be back!
