Cable wakeboarding at Batam!!

I'm so good, i must say.
I was the first to master the technique of wakeboarding! Followed by remy and chorming during the next 2 hr or so. Navin, bryan and fabian took additional 3 hrs to gasp the idea but was still unable to complete 1 round.

Always thought batam is a place for those invisible trade, was rather surprise when i was approached by the others abt such activity other there. Best of all, its only $80 for the entire day! (inclusive of boat fare, lunch, equipment and transport). The one we have in singapore is like $30-40 per hr or 2....










We first started off with knee board, which according to yuehan is easier and to let us have a feel.
Others tried and do like 10-20 times or so.
I managed to complete the course in the 3rd time.
This was when i 'upgrade' to the standing one.

The normal wakeboard was much harder then i thought. Fell down like 20 times or so before i gasps its technique and went round and round. Until i got tired and tried the ramp.
I was so ambitious. others were still struggling with the basic and i'm already practicing the stunts and other advance boards..

The water there was digusting!! super erxin... got those clay mud. Got tapole and worms. So if we were stranded at the no3 check point, good luck to u. That was the worst place to be stranded. The place is muddy with sharp weeds and rocks all around... What was good was the if we stranded too far away from the starting point, they have a motorbike to fetch you back!!

For the first time in 10 long yrs, i've got onto a motobike. That was the most scary part of the event i think..
