Surfing in Taiwan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surfers in Wai'ao Bay, Toucheng Township, Yilan County

Surfing is a relatively new sport in Taiwan, though it has quickly gained popularity.

History

Taiwan(R.O.C) government placed under martial law from 1949 to 1987. During this period, maritime access was limited, as the coastline was classified as a high-security zone. Jeff Sun (Sun YaoSheng, Chinese:孫耀聖 - Other names:Mao Guh, Chinese:毛哥), who began surfing in 1960's,[1] is considered a pioneer of the sport in Taiwan.[2][3]

Location

The eastern shores of Taiwan face the Pacific Ocean, and serve as major locations for surfing.[4]

Period

People in Taiwan surf all year round except during the typhoon seasons, which has been prohibited by law since 2011.[5] The prohibition period starts after the Central Weather Bureau issues land warning.[6]

Competitions

The Taiwan Open of Surfing has been held since 2010,[7][8] and is sanctioned by the World Surfing League.[9]
