Global Warning at Camsur

Lyman, Rathy, Lidberg and myself have been here for almost two days filming for Global Warning and my hands are raw I have been riding so much! I have respect for the people at my camp who have blown out hands after two days. The cable park is sick, 12 obstacles, and the new winch park that Panakos has been working on is crazy. Rathy and I just session the new sisitec (sp?) system that goes from a high pool, drops down to a low and you can either air down or ride the rails. They are building something like 12-15 pools that look like nothing you have ever seen!
We are here for another 4 days after today and i will do my best to post some pics for you northerners itchin to ride. Trust me, I know the feeling from back in the Missouri days.
It was a pretty long trip to get here, 33 hours from my house to the cable park, but honestly, it's worth it. You can ride your face off here, hopefully figuratively speaking. Nice places to stay, good food and everything is pretty cheap.
You guys should really put that wakeworld camsur trip together.

Wow, a wakeworld Camsur trip is an awesome idea. I just saw that place on Fuel the other day and it looks insane! We should try to swing some kind of group deal so it's cheap enough for say, a poor college student to afford or maybe even a few college students from our wakeclub.... : )

that'd be sick imagine a 747 filled with nothing but wakeworlders!!!!

thanks for taking time to share shaun. that place looks awesome.

Oh yeah the good 'ole Missouri days, it's only going to be 40 today. Thanks for rubbing it in Shaun.

Can't wait to see the photos and my hands still haven't healed from being down at your place over a month ago. Tell Ronnie, I said Hey!

Sorry I haven't posted pics yet. Been busy getting sunburned. We have been getting so much riding in that we don't know what to do with ourselves. Everyone here from the other guests to the staff are super friendly and helpful. We've had some rain here and there, and the wind has picked up a few times, but it really hasn't stopped the riding much. I rode the combos skis for a few laps, hit some obstacles and one of em hit back. It was this picnic table kinda slider and one ski went off the side scraping my leg. Didn't get hurt really, but would've been awesome footage if someone was shooting.
We have a day and a half left, so we will see what happens.
Will try to get pics up for you guys, but if things go like yesterday, I might get caught up in a serious game of Marco Polo and Sharks and Minnows.

if any of you guys like rum & cokes - make sure you have the local rum - TANDUAY RUM - best in the world! One of the country's treasures.

as long as they have bud light, dpc's happy.

hey shaun, hope my home country's being a gracious host to you all. can't wait to see this flick!

Sounds like a good time.

can't wait to go to worlds!

Wow! A amazingly cool cable park in the backyard of the Abu Sayyaf. I love it.

Alex, that's a pretty low blow. 99.9% of the Philippines are peaceful and awesome. Cam Sur and it's wake park is turning into the hottest wakeboard destination in the world. To say terrorists are there, when actually the terror groups are in the furthest southern islands while CWC is north of Manila, is whack.

Obviously he has never heard of CWC and has never seen what goes down there.

The GOV is doing an amazing thing for our sport there.

I think at the next wake awards he should get the award for the most influence in the progression of this sport!

Being derogatory was absolutely not my intent, and if my post reads that I way I whole-heartedly apologize.
What I was trying to convey is that this amazing new cable park is a feather in the cap of the free world and
the efforts of a small handful of confused extremists are mostly ineffectual. I'm totally not a hater or
a cynic, and I apologize for my original post being nebulous.

I am for nebulous. If I only knew what that meant.

you got nothing to worry about in the PI unless you are in the Mindanau Islands(southern Islands)

big heavy, i fall in the .1% group.

So are like 3 of my ex's...

here's a few snaps from my point and shoot. nothing special but better than nothing. this first pic is just the cabanas where we all stayed. i will put up more in a sec.

Here are some views of the new winch park. It is so much fun to ride! It is about 1/3 complete and when they dial it in, it will be sick! The whole cable park is so dialed from rails to overall setup of the place. They really have everything wakeboarding has to offer. But like I said, the park is only partial done, they haven't done the landscaping etc...

one last pic. the food there is actually pretty good, but if you order the chicken pasta, it comes with a big ol piece of chicken rather than the traditional chicken pieces us americans are use to. we got a kick out of it.

that place looks sick! i wish i could be there!

I think that Ryan Taylor should post up some Pics, he is with the crew as the photog! Lets see some mang!

No doubt this would be a perfect place for spring ride. After bass lake please take it to Camsur. Make it in April for perfect philippino weather!
