`
`Every Wednesday is
Tandem
Wednesdays. It’s simple. Bring a friend with
you and let him pay while you have a free
ride pass. It’s basically a 50% discount on
your part. Another promo would be the
School is Cool! wherein students get a 20%
discount on rides which is only available
during weekdays. Lastly, the
Groupie
Fridays which is for a group of 5, but will only
pay for the 4 of them. Aside from riding (and
when you are pampered), you can enjoy
the delicious and healthy food, which is a
mix of foreign and local food, offered at the
resto-bar. Also, they have a Spa to relax in.
Is it safe once you get to the board? Ideally,
there are rules or instructions to be followed
before starting. Just follow the safety rules
and advice of the operator and you’ll be
fine. Helmets and a life-vest will be provided
for beginner for precautionary measures;
and in case a person doesn’t know how to
swim. Aside from the ratings above, you also
have to deposit 800 pesos for the wristband
(to keep track of your time) – P200 plus
the life vest & helmet – P600. This deposit is
refundable.
They highly encourage first-timers to take
the 4 hour package if they seriously want to
learn wakeboarding. Adding up to how amusing
wakeboarding is at the start, Ms. Fuchs also said,
“It doesn’t matter how sporty or un-sporty you are,
you are going to learn. It is not that hard. Just keep
on trying and get the hang of it. At first it may be
hard to stand but once you get it, you›re going
to be fine and you›re going to have fun.“ RW
will be coming up with a big event at the end of
Halloween which is the Wake of Thrones . This event
is part of the world tour stops of WWA (Wakeboard
World Association), to take place from Nov 1 to
3. WWA will be throwing a competition wherein
international pro riders will compete. Nevertheless,
local riders can also compete in this competition
within different categories and different age
levels. This competition is also combined with the
Asian Wakepark Tour where Asia’s best riders will
compete in. Spectators around the country are
also invited to witness the best riders from all over
the world. RW has been a host of international
events which makes the wakepark world-class.
In fact, RW has the best rails, ramps, and cables.
Wakeboarding is actually fun, but it’s more fun in
Republ1c Wakepark!
