Someone to teach me how to surf
by starlightwaters » 15 Apr 2011, 08:17
Hi, I will be leaving for Taiwan on May 19th and staying until the beginning of August. I am from the US and would really like to learn how to surf while I am there. I looked up that they have really nice beaches. I haven't been to the beach since I was last in Taiwan which was 8 years ago! Does anyone know a good place to learn surfing?

Hey man, if you are in the Kaohsiung area, I could put you in touch with someone who can teach you how to surf.

Go to Wu Shi Gang in Yilan. Head towards the beach. Try to avoid falling over the surf instructors. You'll know them because they have deep tans, expensive sunglasses and haircuts aped from Japanese surfing magazines. They're $5NT. a dozen.

What's the best way to approach one? Say "excuse me sir," or "hello there, do you surf?" or something? I'll be staying in the Taipei area, but I want to travel around so I plan on visiting a couple beaches.

I would like to learn how to surf as well. But how difficult is it? Could a middle-aged woman in poor shape have any chance?
