Wakeboarding in Republ1c Wakepark Nuvali

Republ1c Wakepark (Republic Wakepark) in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, opens its doors to south side wakeboarders. A wakepark finally closer to home.

The first time I've seen the wakepark, I instantly fell in love. The place itself was great, it was vast and classy and had a relaxing feel to it. The accommodation was okay, and the people were very friendly. We were watching the pro's do jumps and turns and twists and lie down while riding. We were in awe... entranced. Then on, my boyfriend and I wanted to learn how to ride.

There are two areas to ride in, the beginner area and the pro area. The beginner area consists of a long linear man-made 'lake', while the pro area comprises of a huge circle, complete with ramps and obstacles.

Not into wakeboarding?
Its fine. You can watch from the sidelines, just take pictures or just have a beer. They have a bar which serves different kinds of foods and beverages. You can just chill.

How to go to Republ1c Wakepark
By car:
From Manila, you can follow the SLEX straight up until you reach Sta. Rosa exit. After passing the exit, make a right and go straight on until you see Solenad 2. Turn left and go straight. You will then pass a circle, on the second corner, turn right. Further down the road, you will pass two guardhouses, just go straight, there are signs as to where the wakepark is.

Commute:
Well I guess you could take any bus from Manila that goes straight to Sta. Rosa, then ride a jeepney to Solenad 2. Get off Solenad 2 and ask the guard where the shuttle to Republic is. I'm sorry, I do not know what exact times the shuttles arrive. I just know that there are shuttles.

Overall experience
We give REPUBL1C Wakepark 3 stars. The place itself is nice. Not that extraordinary as I can really appreciate. But yeah, its nice. The instructors are very patient and accommodating. The staff are kind. But the front desk girls are just not that approachable. Considering they are at the front desk, they should at least, once in while, learn to smile. But anyway, I will definitely go there again, maybe even take up wakeboarding as a hobby. ;)
