Filipino wakeboarding prodigy and Red Bull
athlete Raph Trinidad showcased his arsenal of skills on some of the most
breathtaking islands of Palawan during Wake
Paradise. The latest project by Red Bull aims to promote the sport in the
country and shed light on Trinidad’s rapid rise to the top of the wakeboarding
world.
Hailing from Liloan island in Cebu, Raph
Trinidad started his wakeboarding journey at the ripe young age of 14. With
such an early starting point to get his foot in the sport, Trinidad quickly
acquired the necessary skills to compete at such a high level and establish
himself as a household name in the wakeboarding scene. 
In his past international competitions,
Trinidad bagged silver in the 2019 World Cable Wakeboard Championship Men’s
Open in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the 2022 IWWF World Championship in Pathum
Thani, Thailand. Trinidad’s amazing feats during this run cemented him as the
current number two wakeboarder in the world.
“Wakeboarding
in Palawan really gave me the opportunity to enjoy what I love doing most and
embrace the beautiful scenery of the islands around the Philippines. Having the
opportunity to wakeboard in such a beautiful destination was a surreal
experience and I’m pretty sure that all my fellow wakeboarders will love to
ride in a place I’d love to call Wake Paradise,” said
Trinidad.
Trinidad left spectators in awe with his wide
range of wakeboarding stunts infused with a twist. Straying away from the
conventional method of being pulled by ropes connected to systems and winches,
Trinidad pushed the limits of his skills in the open seas of Palawan. Propelled
forward by the speed and engine power of a bangkarera,
Wake Paradise redefined the boundaries of the realm of wakeboarding while
showcasing Trinidad’s passion and love for the sport.
The success of Wake Paradise showed Red Bull’s
dedication to giving wings and empowering athletes to break barriers and aim to
inspire them to pursue their dreams. In the process, Trinidad also solidified
his position as a sports icon, setting the bar immeasurably higher for the next
generation of wakeboarders and water sports enthusiasts nationwide.
