From my friend Clair Concepcion Barberis

 We are Philippine Wake School, a private sector that aims to produce top athletes in the growing sports wakeboard and wakeskate in the Philippines. Our first goal is to introduce the sports to everyone by holding fun camps and clinics in different spots. Our second goal is to unite the local wake community and help the sports to grow by holding events and friendly competitions. Our third goal is to support our local talented athletes by eventually providing them with sport equipments for their training and sponsorships for competitions to represent our country. One of our goals is to promote our country. The Philippines is an archipelago composed of islands and warm bodies of water and our weather suits riding all year, thus making our country a perfect place for riding.

Our events are the following:

Operation Wake Camp – The Ultimate Wake Camp Experience for Everyone!

Operation Wake Camp is a wakeboard and wakeskate camp for all ages, from beginners to intermediate level. It’s not just an all wakeboard and wakeskate experience, but the camp also offers other fun off-wake activities! We believe that it’s more fun to ride and to progress if you ride with your friends that’s why at Operation Wake Camp, we make sure that we’ll give you the best wakeboard experience ever! This is the first ever camp in the country. The first one was held in CWC, Camarines Sur and was called Ladies’ First, an all girls wakeboarding camp. Now Philippine Wake School focuses on holding cable wakeboarding camps and boat clinics in areas such as Davao, Pampanga, Cebu, Laguna and Ilocos.

Steezy Sesh

If we have Operation Wake Camp for people who have never tried wakeboarding before and want to give it a shot, we also have Steezy Sesh for aspiring wakeboarders and wakeskaters to progress and learn new signature tricks from professional athletes. The coaches are professional wakeboarders and wakeskaters who are invited to teach and share their signature tricks. This is a good opportunity for the growing community of wakeboarders and wakeskaters in the country to progress in the sport by learning straight from their favorite athletes.

Roxy Skirt Day Sunday

Skirt Day Sunday is a barbeque party and riding session for girls. We have this event just for the girls because we want to give special attention to local girl wakeboarders and wakeskaters to encourage them to try the sport. This is a fun event for the girls to bond and to have something to look forward to every Sunday!

We would like to tie-up with your campus and explore the possibility of adding wakeboarding to the students’ extra sport activities. The sport is growing in the Philippines and it’s a good venue because of our weather and water. We are also getting a lot of support from local and international brands. Should you want to know more about us, we are welcome to meet and discuss further about our intentions. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
