Well, on extremely rare occasions there's surf at Shilaoren beach in Qingdao.

A much better bet is Sanya:

http://map.qq.com/?l=181071680

Where you can actually rent surf boards (unlike in Qingdao, where you must bring the board by yourself).

(BTW check out this view http://map.qq.com/?l=181072740)

Of course wind and kite surfing is also an option in many Chinese places, for instance in Xiamen. I believe they specifically rent kite surfing equipment here:

And btw, last week I found that sailing boats as well as water scooters are available for rent at this Xiamen location

http://map.qq.com/?l=181077913

As for Shanghai... forget it! It's a place for earning and spending money - it is not for "living" as I see it...

growing up in the North East, Surfing was not something I ever got into. Now im to old and fat to take it up... but it sure does look like fun.

I have recently acquired a new perspective of the sport after stumbling upon this awesome flickr account. Im starting to appreciate a skilled photographer alot more also.

NWS > herosjourneymythology45surf/sets/

I wonder if its a reference to Joseph Campbell's "hero with a thousand faces" which inspired George Lucas. I would love to meet this Dr Johnny Ranger photographer and shake their hand.

I've always wanted to try surfing, but never even learned how to swim :-\ ... Tried it as a kid but had an irrational fear of water, but I'm over it now but never could find anybody to go with me.

from a few years ago

this was given to Kelly Slater

he originally wanted an RS4 avant from Europe. AoA worked on it then gave up as trying to get it to US Spec deemed to difficult.

so he got a B8 A4 with full stasis set-up.

Yes, but going alone and not knowing how to swim? That's a big safety red flag waiting to happen LOL

what do you have to do when you fall and get taken out by the wave? I've been taken out and kept under water for a long time lol even diving into/under the wave i still get pulled back and flipped around like crazy. I'm an above average swimmer so i haven't died lol sure gets the heart beat up though!

do your best to get under the wave.
if you do get hit by underwater turbulence, stay calm and let it subside. the more you struggle, the more energy and air you will expend.

Its not so much what you do next. Its what you do to prepare for this because no matter how good you are this WILL happen. Lots of cardio. When this does happen land shallow. The reef is usually what does the most damage.
