The second half of our Philippines trip was great. First we caught a plane up to Naga from Manila to go the CWC. The CWC is the cable park in Camsur that Gov L Ray owns. CWC is sick, they have built such a beautiful facility. We would get up early before the cable was open and get laps with no crowds. There are a lot of really fun rails, ramps, and a really fun box. At CWC we had great accommodations, each of us had our own cabanas. While we were in Camsur we decided to travel to Daiet, where there was this unreal spillway to shoot on. It had these huge wall rides with water flowing down that we all were hitting from different directions. Wats and I were hitting them from the bottom and wiping up, doing really fun turns on the wall. Danny and Ruck were hitting it from the top and riding the whole way to the bottom doing tail presses all the way down. The spill way was one of the most fun natural terrain things I have ever hit. Right before we left that spot I ollied off a 15-foot flowing waterfall.
All week we were fighting the weather but got a few more good days. One of the last days we were there Grubby was hitting this spillway waterfall and got a really sick pop shuvit off it.
Overall the Philippines was one of the best trips I have been on. Thanks a lot to L Ray, Ana and crew for showing us such a good time. They went above and beyond. Thanks
There will be some great video footage for the new Billabong team movie that came out of this trip.

wats up Chad!!! remember me, Paul, the guy you talked to the winch jam at Mall of Asia in the Philippines. We sat together in stoked, our local boardshop, and I offered you a drink, but you told me you stopped drinking months ago. Anyway, it’s nice to know that you're starting your own blog. Also, it’s great to know that you find Philippines a good place and that you enjoyed. Anyhoot I just came back from CWC as well and ANA and I got to talk about you guys when I was there... She told me that you got sick from your spill way winching session, which is unusual since you know ( I think she told you the reason already)...So when will this team video be released??? So excited to see it... Before I forget, will you join the Worlds next year??? Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future!!!

whats up paul, good to hear from you. What was the real reason ana told you. Im kinda courious
As you know, the spot where you guys winched at is a place owned by all the families in that area...What I mean by that is; since the place is as rural as it gets, people use it as their wash area, shower and toilet bowl...Hope that wont scare you from coming back here...So my guess why you got sick is that, maybe you swallowed water from there that irritated your tummy... But its all good, Pinoys are hospitable enough to take care of you....
Thats just great!
