Day trip to Republic WakePark

We did day trip from Clark IWWF Worlds to Republic WakePark.

Like always in contests you can’t ride as much as you would like to.

We had a day off and we decided to go Republic WakePark, just because we wanted to ride.
We ordered shuttle with 11 persons, we had altogether 8 different nationality in the same bus.

There were people from Philippines, Switzerland, Israel, USA, Denmark, Argentina, Italy and me from Finland.

Trip from Clark to Republic took about 3 hours.


Driver asked once the way, but when we saw this, we knew we are near.

I knew that Republic cable is good; Great pop and lot of obstacles.

The first view was just this, so lot of obstacles!


Republic obstacles are unique, lots of different kind of shapes, which kind of I haven’t seen in other parks.

Obstacles are situated everywhere during the round, my taste those were quite near of cable line, but should only used to it I think.

There are lots of space to do also air-tricks and cable gives really nice pop for them. Only depth of water was little bit surprise to me, I mean if you are making big and flying far away from cable line, there is quite low water.))

After the first kickers they are building really big thing. It’s like massive funbox, only instead of table there will be small pool middle of this compination, with wall ride, step up A-frame etc… INTERESTING!

Transport back to starting dock. Amazing 6 years old kid Max just on the way.

The biggest problem of all cable parks nowadays are queues.

It was holiday week in Philippines and also weekend, lot of locals and also western riders from IWWF Worlds were there and queue was looooong.

We met also owner of cable and he told that queue is not always so bad, it was just holiday time.

There is also Rixen Little-Bro for beginners, unfortunately I have not picture of it. I saw, there were big group of beginners.

Facilities are in order:

Nice restaurant and bar with all kind of foods and drinks.

Children play ground; behind of it you can see doors to cloakrooms. Those are new, nice, and spacious, with good showers, toilets etc…, they were still building up second floor, whatever there will be?

Rental stuff; on the left you can see small warehouses; you can storage your board over there.

Entrance building: There you can pay tickets and if you are first timer fill up couple liability etc… forms.

Prices are nice: 1 hour 5€, 2 hours 9,5€, 4 hours 12€, 1 day 20€ and 1 week 100€

Then about riding itself!

Cable is amazing good, really great pop, easy to ride obstacles you don’t need to cut almost at all to them.

I really recommend this cable to everybody.

Like it’s always the last moments are the bests. There wasn’t queue anymore and it started to get dark. There were still guys from Israel, Denmark and USA in the water and they started to push air-tricks just front of the starting dock. I took my camera, flash and I got nice pictures of riders against sunset.
