There are times when you just have to let go. No matter how hard you want to hold on and keep on going, the circumstances just won't permit it. No, I'm not talking about breaking up with your boyfriend or girlfriend. I'm talking about our wakeboarding experience last Sunday at Lago de Oro. Here are some photos that will help you understand what I'm saying:
Lago de Oro is a recreational facility located 115 south west of Metro Manila on the shore of the South China Sea. It's main attraction is its cable ski park on a 4-hectare man made lake. Here's a map on how to get there.



Before starting the actual wakeboarding, the on-site instructor will provide instructions and tips to newbies. For starters, they recommend using the kneeboard first. But as it ends up, most of first-timers only become successful in the kneeboard (including myself). When they go to the next level (using the actual wakeboard), launching from the dock becomes an insurmountable and frustrating task. But I am quite happy that I was able to wakeboard for ~2-4 seconds. As for the kneeboard, I was able to circle the loop three times before my arms gave in and I had to let go intentionally.




Overall, the activity we had was fun. The 1500 pesos we spent including transpo from Manila and food was worth it. We will be coming back to Lago de Oro very soon.
