Is there ever surf @ Dalian?
Maybe re-locating to Dalian for a couple of years. Does anyone know if you get any surf there?

Surfing China
Hi,
I went surfing on the weekend at Zhapo, Hailing Island down off the coast of Guangzhou. Still in the Guangdong province. Caught some great right handers. water was a little freezing. But it was uncrowded (low season). NOt epic waves but well worth getting out of the city for the weekend.

Qingdao or Dalian?
Hey

I've decided to come back to China, worked there a few years ago, and have narrowed down to where I want to work to Qingdao and Dalian.

I gather the surf isn't brilliant in China but, hey, something is better than nothing. That aside, does anyone know if Dalian or Qingdao are better for surfing?

Thanks

Surfing Hainan China
My Chinese wife and I will be relocating to Hainan for 6-12 months. We are thinking of living in a small town in the south called Wanning. It seems to be a good base for gettting to differenet surf breaks, especially Shimei Bay. Waist to chest high is okay for me and anything above this is a bonus. I surfed Shang Chuan Island and it was a big disappointment. Even when it got head high, it was mostly closed out and hardly worth going out.

Any comments or advice.

I have surfed Florida, Costa Rica, all over El Salvadore, and have a small house on the coast in Mexico near some great left point breaks. I would be happy to exchange information on these areas.

Seriously
I'm from Hawaii, but I'm living and working in Shanghai. I've travelled ALL over China and lived in Hainan island for 5 months. Basically, all of China doesn't see ground swell. The coasts here rely on wind swell coming from typhoons. Typhoon season is July to Sept. Simply looking at a map, you can see Taiwan has the most surf potential. I have surfed there, and it was okay. Hainan is good because the water is warm year round and the water is actually clean! However, it's only gonna get a couple of swells a year.

Overall, China has a huge coastline so of course there's potential, but it's absolutely not worth the cost of bringing a board here with the hope of getting waves. If you're living in China near the coast like me, then all it takes is some careful timing and exploration, and you're sure to get a couple of fun swells here and there.
