MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Filipino wakeboarder and Red Bull athlete Raph Trinidad marks another historic win after clinching gold at the 2025 IWWF Asia and Oceania Cable Wakeboard and Wakeskate Championships. Trinidad competed in the Open Men’s category for the Wakeboarding event, scoring 81.67 to earn him his first place win.
The 2025 IWWF Asia and Oceania Cable Wakeboard and Wakeskate Championships were held last January 24 to 26 at the Decawake Clark Cable Park in Angeles City, Pampanga. Bringing together the top wakeboarders from Asia and Oceania, the event marked the final qualifier for The World Games (TWG) 2025 happening August in Chengdu, China.
Trinidad delivered a flawless and exhilarating run that earned him top marks from the judges. With his top spot finish, Trinidad bested international wakeboarders such as Kyrgyzstan’s Stanislav Fidelsky, Thailand’s Luke Atirat Carrick and Benjamin Phechyuenyong, as well as Australia’s Zac Falzon and Lachlan “Locky” Fort.
To aspiring wakeboarders, Trinidad said, “Trust the process. The falls on your first try, the doubts about whether it’s for you — I went through all of that too. If I could push through, I know for sure that you can as well.” He added, “Remember, ‘If you fall 7 times, get back up 8 times.’ It’s not about how many times you fall but how many times you get back up.”
As he heads to The World Games 2025, Trinidad claimed, “I will push myself even harder because there is still so much work to do in wakeboarding and it’s only the start. Rest assured, you will see a version of me that is more motivated and ready to do my best for the Philippines.”
