The Philippines is known for its many magnificent beaches, and for the CamSur Watersports Complex to be highly popular as it is, something must be hip and happening. Today the complex, affectionately termed as the CWC by many (and believe me there are many), is the hottest water activity destination in the country. And they don't even have a beach.

Instead, Camsur Watersports Complex boasts of a 4.5 hectare fresh water lake that is amenable to water skiing, wakeboarding, cable skiing and kneeboarding. As one of the most recommended Philippines travel tips, the 6- hectare CWC is the place to go in the Philippines to get your fill of the mentioned activities. Thousands flock here, in the province of Camarines Sur, in the Provincial Capitol Complex, in Pili, in the Southeast of Asia.

As proof of this, the Ultimate Wake Championship is held here, and the next event is scheduled on January 19-23, 2011. Wake boarding has become one of the world's most popular water sports. In wake boarding, the rider gets on a single board standing sideways, and gets pulled along by motion of a speedboat. Various tricks and exhibitions ...
... can be performed, that is why it is a favorite hobby of others. Unlike actual boarding in snow, wakeboarding can be done all year round in tropical climates in destinations such as this.

And the CWC is perfect for that, along with other hair-raising sports activities. The government of Pili, Camarines Sur makes sure this facility works in top class condition, and as a result, it is now considered the best cable skiing system in the country, and to be cheeky about it, in Asia.
It is a world-class water sports complex enjoying good weather year-round. It is the best place for team building, events, championships and gatherings all over the country.

The overhead cable system across the lake of Lago del Rey is impressive, and a lot people swear to come back every year, and they do. But right now, the International Dragonboat Fest is in order, and you can expect the place to be flocked by multitudes of supporters. The Park is complete with beginner and pro equipment, with enough obstacle courses to delight experienced skiiers.

There are also affordable accommodations nearby, a Club house and a dining area and various amusement facilities for kids and adults alike. For big events like championships and finals, there is an elevated spectator area so that guests and supporters can get a better view. There is a volleyball and tennis court for those who would want a break from the water.

Beyond the CWC, Camarines Sur can offer an array of beach choices, magnificent mountains, island transfer trips and other popular destinations. Just 8 hours by land or an hour by plane, Camarines Sur in the island of Luzon is a very viable choice for tourist, local or international. It is a nice place for holidays, either for a few days or an extended weekend.

Funny to think that the wakeboarding capital of the country is a lake instead of a popular beach. One can only expect, in a place full of shorelines, that the facilities and service here are the best. Tour packages and group accommodations are easy, because they know how what you are ultimately after- the thrill of the water.
