THIS TIME AROUND

It was back in 2006 that my brother and I planned our first trip to the CWC and the Philippines. I've been back four times since, and chances are I'll make it five soon enough; especially after watching This Time Around. 

Every visit to the CWC was unique, different, and amazing. In 2007 I was introduced to a whole new facet of wakeboarding, and discovered paradise. In 2008, my trip was cut short because of a broken ankle. In 2009, I filmed some of my best riding to date, and discovered Sesitec's System 2.0. In 2010, I returned with my brother and swam with whale sharks.

It was obvious that we all knew that the CWC was a very special place, and it's very cool to have been apart of the movement described in this film. This Time Around has given me an amazing feeling of nostalgia and inspiration to keep evolving as a rider. Salamate Po! and cheers to all my CWC homies all over the world!! One love.

Please enjoy...

This Time Around Teaser from PATRICK WIELAND INC. on Vimeo.

I must say that I was very excited when I first discovered this teaser!! For me it's a trip down memory lane of my experiences and past trips to the Philippines when I visited every year from 2007-2010. Upon my last trip to the CWC in 2010 with my brother Justin, our worst fears were realized when we came to the conclusion that our beloved filipino riding sanctuary had been tainted and lost some of its magic.

Fortunately it seems as though the CWC is regaining its prominence as one of the best spots to ride in the world. Based on the videos and photos that have been coming out from the new Republic Wake Park in Manila and the O.G. CWC, it looks as though I'll be booking a return trip ASAP!!
