Surfing Huizhou_GaoYangWei

I've always wanted to go surfing for a long period of time, mainly because I believe you have to keep doing something to really get improved. This trip is part of "Dream come true" series.

We first did a 100KM ride to Gaoyangwei(surf spot in Huizhou, will use GYW in the rest of this article) at the first day(Oct.1). Then I surfed at Oct 3, Oct 4, Oct 6, Oct 7.

TL;DR

The wave is quite good with no wind for 2 days in between, my skills mainly improved by watching Youtube videos, stamina got improved a lot just by paddling and going into the ocean. Sitting with crowd in the middle of ocean feels good, watching pros surf also helps a lot on skill, culture is generally really good there. The hostel is great, saves a lot and fully funcitonal. People aroud are great and talktive. Basically only one place to eat during the day. 50 per person per meal. Breakfast with rice noddles.

Surfing really improves both on the physical status and mental status for me, I just feel really enegized when I get back, and thinking about a lot of positive stuff, it really motivates you to act positively.

Experience By day

Oct 3

Good wave, long and regular, no wind.

First day to surf, did do any preparations or watch any tutorails. Board got hit by a bikini girl, got a big ding on it. sent to repair.

Can't really paddle, no stamina nor strength. Basically sitting on board in the evening.

Oct 4

Good wave, long and regular, no wind

didn't prepare(damn it!), so

Oct 5

Bad wave, one day off at 万科双月湾, too crowded on the ocean, especially on holiday. Only one surf club.

Can see the sunset there.

Oct 6

Good wave, powerful but not very steady.

Did watch some more vids from "Surf Simple" Youtube channel. Lots of good stuff there.

Less crowded ocean, try green wave but didn't catch, surf a little whitewater wave in the evening.

Oct 7

Good wave, powerful and actually steady at some region

Basically no people in the ocean, only me in the morning, more people in the afternoon. Been carried away by the undercurrent in the morning, try to catch green wave, paddled many where but no succeed, better stamina by then.
