I always get this warm fuzzy felling inside when I see wakeskating from different parts of the world. Embarassed

Looks awesome!

Carive ...thats sick

Manilla like whoa.

Went to Indo last OCT. They had a cable park in Batam next to the Holiday Inn I was in. But I didnt have a chance to get in there. Work wouldnt leave me alone.

Their website looks legit.

Have you ever been there or heard anything about it?

W, i used to go there on weekends to wakeskate. The place is pretty old and the cable's sagging but for what it's worth from where I'm (choppy sea water with too many boats) at, it's still a good trip for some glassy fresh water riding. Some obstacles but not really much to shout about.

I dare say the best cable parks in the region are still Camsur (though I've never been there) and the ones in Thailand.

Btw Thomas Horell & A Reed popped by there when they were visiting Singapore and from what i heard (hadn't started wakeskating then yet) the record for pop shuvs before the 1st corner was 24. I'm still trying to beat it Laughing

Appreciate the beta on SKI BATAM.

Next time I'm in SING or BATAM, Ill be sure and holla at ya.
We might have to combine our shuvs to beat 24 before the first turn.

Loved SING by the way. Reminds me so much of LA, except much cleaner. Also, SING locals are much more friendly than most of Hollywood wannabes.

KEEP THRASHIN
