About this tour

CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC) in Pili, Camarines Sur, is Southeast Asia's premier cable wakeboard park and has hosted multiple Asian Wakeboard Championships since it opened. The 750-metre full-size cable system runs on a 6-tower circuit around a purpose-built freshwater lake, towing riders at adjustable speeds from 20km/h (beginners) to 35km/h (competition). The facility is maintained to international championship standards and is the benchmark by which all other Philippine water sports destinations are measured.

Beyond the main cable system, CWC offers knee boarding, wake surfing, cable skiing, and a dedicated beginner circuit for first-timers who want a shorter cable run with lower speeds and instructor assistance. The facility includes a full equipment rental shop (boards, bindings, wetsuits, helmets), a certified instructor programme, and a lakeside restaurant for post-session recovery.

The 4-hour session package includes 2 hours of cable time (approximately 6-8 full laps depending on conditions), all equipment rental, and access to the beginner circuit for warm-up. If you have never wakeboarded before, the facility's instructors will have you up on the board within 30 minutes. CWC is one of the main reasons travellers include Camarines Sur in their Bicol itinerary — it's genuinely world-class.
