Jinzun itself used to be a small fishing community, but in recent years surfing has changed the vibe of the place. Surfing can be enjoyed in Jinzun all year round and there are facilities to cater for those of all ages and abilities. It is not just on the east coast, where there are great waves to be found and Jialeshui, in Kenting National Park is the place to head in the south of the country. This rocky beach is not a big draw for the regular tourists that flock to Kenting, so the focus here is very much on the surfers.
The surf here is generally smaller than what can be found further up the east coast and as a result, Jialeshui is a good place to for beginners and intermediates as well as more experienced surfers. Its location close to a river mouth creates long-lasting breaks which are ideal for those looking to practice maneuvers.
And the proximity to Kenting town means there is a vibrant nightlife close by too. Waiao Beach is the most popular destination in northern Taiwan for surfers. Situated in Yilan and just an hour and a half from Taipei, this striking black sand beach is located just north of Wushigang Harbor. It is also known as Gangao Beach and sometimes referred to as Wushi after the harbor. It is a beach with plenty of adrenaline sports on offer, but the main focus is on surfing. Many enterprising locals have taken to setting up stalls on the beach selling and renting all sorts of surfing paraphernalia.

Taiwan delivers great swell. Taiwan offers the opportunity for a real surf adventure whilst being surrounded by a beautiful and embracing culture. The sparsely populated East Coast of Taiwan offers a host of river mouths, beach breaks and point breaks. Storms forming near Japan move through the North Pacific and deliver swell to Hawaii in their peak winter season. As the south of the island is a peninsular, surf can be found on either side.
Situated between Japan and the Philippines, the surf in Taiwan is far less crowded than the former, and more consistent and in a much safer environment than the latter. Summertime brings typhoons, and with it plenty of waves. This is the least consistent time of the year for waves. If a typhoon does get too close, authorities will call a land and sea warning, restricting boat and water activities. On average, there are 19 typhoons per season in the Asia-Pacific region — with perhaps 3 making landfall in Taiwan, usually in the E and NE regions.
The program whilst there is simply surf in warm water, chill out in tropical surrounds and sunshine, dine on an amazing variety of great food and experience an intriguing culture. As you can see in the surf trip reviews, everyone loves their Taiwan experience. We don't recommend this trip for hard-core chargers who are only looking for advanced surf and big barrels.
This trip is ideal for crew who are keen to surf a variety of waves from beach breaks to river mouths to point breaks, and are happy to surf a fun board or a longboard as well as a standard short board. The overall experience of a new culture, great waves and friendly locals make Taiwan a must do for any surfer looking for a new experience.
