Last year I was asked to document a surf trip in China. Ill tell you right now, im not too fussy when it comes to being paid to travel, however, CHINA??? Really?
It was very last minute so we had to run around chasing visas and tickets etc and within a couple of days we were off.
I was actually there to shoot The Hainan International Surf Festival and interview a bunch of key people about surfing in China and the economical advantages to exposing China to the sport of surfing. I was with O'neill guys, Mark Mathews, Rob Bain and Jarrad Howse.
While we were there we decided to edit a little casual clip to show what we did over there and here it is.

There are waves over there and if you were to time it well you could score some really good waves. We were there for a week and had these 2-4ft waves everyday. Offshores all day and piss warm water. I wouldve loved some more time to explore and find some exposed areas of the coast which might have some reefs or good wedges.
Next time!
