CamSur Watersports Complex is Still Bicol’s Most Modern Destination


Now that my current life entails having only a month to spend for holidays every year, mountain climbing not to mention catching up with very good friends and relatives became really difficult. The main reason is my new location’s proximity to where my life used to take place. Embracing its wonders such as the beautiful people, delicious (spicy) foods, and irresistible travel attractions became my very coping mechanism.

The day Camarines Sur became my new base, the sensation seeker, which possessed my body the day I climbed a mountain, became more dominant than ever. This is the reason why visiting the CamSur Water Sports Complex (CWC) situated at Cadlan, Pili, Camarines Sur is a must each time I go home for vacation. The hot season is perfection for my wandering feet that are designed for roaming around and seeking adventures outdoors.

So when our very generous neighbor invited our family to join his in their excursion to CWC on the 20th of  April 2016, I did not hesitate to drop the task at hand and indirectly force Ms. Wonderwall and the two busy little men, Brad and Ethan, who were both playing in the sala.

It is now obvious that one of my favorite activities during summer is to check CWC in Cadlan for the mind-bending tricks of professional wakeboarders. I am talking about those daredevil spins that give me that feeling of carefreeness and being extremely alive. Imagine a rider on a wakeboard doing a 360 degree rotation while up in the air. I never considered it uninteresting but thrilling.

On the one hand, climbing mountains gives us different life-changing lessons such as the need to connect with nature and the value of solitude. On the other, extreme sports feed my hunger for that strange yet nice sensation of adrenaline rush. Seeing the family in complete awe while they were witnessing wakeboarders do their stirring tricks brought a big smile on my face. It is absolutely a heavenly feeling when the things that make me ecstatic are appreciated more so reciprocated by my loved ones.

I have always considered coconuts as absolute elements of an authentic tropical scenery. Look at how they effortlessly grace this place to make for a rustic paradise.

The relaxing environment, made of modernity and natural scenery, is always the bonus for this kind of spectacle. This was already my nth visit but I still get a different vibe each time (“CamSur Watersports Complex And Its Eco-Village“, My Chunk of Extreme Sports At The Best Cable Park In The“, and “Weekly Photo Challenge: Carefree“). The stunning views captured in the next photos articulate that statement. Looking at each of them makes me understand why I keep on coming back.

My every visit to CWC reinforces my belief that no place is ever really done. Besides we, people of the earth, will always be attracted to water sports because they give fun and they are probably the best activities during summer. And, water sports complex such as this one in Camarines Sur will always be patronized no matter what because it is natural for us to crave wonders that the water element provides.

There are always something new to see and memory to reforge especially at CamSur Watersports Complex that offers diverse activities and attracts local and international tourists.

It gives me pleasure to reannounce this good news from the World Wakeboard Association’s website (theawwa.com): The Philippines will host the “2016 Wake Park World Championship” on the 29th until the 31st of October 2016 at the CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC). Last year, the competition was held in Cancun (Mexico).

This world championship will surely boost Bicol Region’s tourism and the Philippines as a whole considering that CWC’s management has already signed on for a three-year agreement for this event.

    This looked like a great trip with your friend, Ms Wonderwall and the two little ones. Beautiful shots of the Camsu Water Sports Complex all round – blue sky, some clouds and the water looks so clear. Very sharp and on-point of you to capture the wakeboarder spinning around. Wonderful photography.

    I have to disagree with the part about water sports. Not a huge fan of it personally and would much rather climb up a steep mountain or jump out of a plane skydiving 😀 Then again, I can understand why people like the water – great to cool off on a hot day and some like swimming. Each to their own.

    Hope you don’t get stressed too much from work, Sony. One month isn’t that long for holiday, but it sounds like you made the most of it this year back home. Take care 🙂

      Hello, Mabel. My heartfelt apologies for being so late…Work is a bit of a struggle lately. Trying to learn something I’m not really good at.I hope I can pull if off soon. I’m just really having a hard time concentrating at it. Anyway, all is well no matter what.

      Thank you very much for complimenting the photos even the not so sharp ones. 🙂 A bit saddened to know that you’re not that much of a “water fan”. Well, just thinking how we both love the sunsets and all other wonders of nature, we’re still pretty much on the same page.

        I am sure you will triumph at your work, Sony. After all, you learnt and diversified so much here on your blog. I am cheering you on in my corner of my small room.

        Well, if we are at the beach you can splash around and it will be such an honour to take photos of you having a good time 🙂

  7. Water sport like that is what I’m dying to try. Camsur has been long penned on my bucketlist, I hope to visit Camsur soon. You know what I think? When you’re being appreciative in everything it reflects with the way how you drop a line. Ang ganda ng mga pictures mo bro ang sarap sa mata. God bless you, my brother.

  8. Camsur has long been penned on my bucket list and hopefully I can visit it before long. I never tried any water sports before and I might consider attempting it one day. You owned an artistic eye, awesome photos.
