You never have to be more organised when travelling than when you are with the kids! Kids are full of energy, and they will expel that energy anyway they can. Of course, if they are cooped up in the car, on a train or a plane, everyone around you is going to know about it. Families are starting to plan long car journeys and holidays with the kids in mind. Long gone are the days when kids could move about freely in the car, swapping seats and getting cuddles from you. We are all strapped down for the duration of the journey. Of course, that doesn’t work for kids. They need to move about and exercise those vocal chords!

Some people consider wakeboarding as similar to surfing and they are correct. Before it was officially known as wakeboarding, the sport was earlier called skurfing or ski-boarding. In the Philippines, wakeboarding has come of age and is started to gain more and more followers from adventure seekers. It was introduced by a well-known celebrity. Among the more popular wakeboarding spots include Batangas and Camarines Sur. In wakeboarding, a motorboat running at great speed pulls a person who is standing on a surfboard.
