For people from Europe, North America, Japan, and Korea, where winters are cold, it’s a real luxury to be able to surf in warmer climes. People can come to Taiwan and surf year-round, with warm seas, diverse and delicious food, and the friendliness of the Taiwanese people all being normal parts of the itinerary. In particular, the waves whipped up by northeasterly monsoon winds in winter make Taiwan a very inviting place for savvy surfers to visit.
