WOW mind-blown !!! This is actually the best surfing video I have ever watched !!! Highly highly enjoyable to watch !!!! And about your film-making, this is actually the most preferred style --- your soft calm voice with light background chill music including all your journeys, it's almost like a documentary style !!!!. Indeed a very very very very powerful video , 10/10 !!!!!!! More power to you !!!!

Si! Great to see someone taking a risk by doing something different in the surfing YT community. Just my opinion I reckon you don't have to walk the board all the time. Long boards catch waves and trim easily so I suggest paddling further out where the real power is on that left point - this will boost your fitness confidence and experience in heavier surf. Your long board will generate tons of speed so just trimming absorbing the waves energy is also another thrill.....then once the wave flattens out you can walk the board and do all those fancy tricks. Suggest you watch 60s and 70s surf films on YT .......these are gold. Watching what the surfers were doing on Malibu boards in giant scary Hawaiian surf is truly inspiring. It takes courage to surf and produce quality YT content so I won't wish you well as you are already a success. Surfer Pete

Thought I'd throw out a suggestion to increase wave size. Out past the sandbars, have the govt add some cargo containers - possibly partly filled with sand, to wedge the energy to a spot. They're really heavy and they are stackable. They are really solid. Might have to use 2 of them next to each other to ensure it doesn't tip during a big storm (depends on wave size). But they make ones that are approximately 40ft (13 m). Even just a few of these could REALLY enhance the wave size. Lots of different configurations - just have to test. Easiest near a port city oc, because they have all the containers right there. Could coat with epoxy or zinc (galvanized) to prevent rust.

It's great to see China from your perspective, having grown to love biking and starting to learn to surf in Vietnam, this is the lifestyle I want to keep if I go back to China one day. It's a shame there are so many restrictions on having bikes there, how much would they fine you? I got a job in Shanghai but I think i'd hate living there, being so far from nice beaches and outrageously expensive to own a motorbike. Maybe I'd try Hainan or Shenzhen in future!
