Surfing carries certain risks, so it’s essential to follow the advice of professional instructors and choose a surfboard that suits you. In Taiwan, winter brings waves up to two stories high due to the northeast monsoon, so few people surf during this season. But for many professional surfers, encountering such rare big waves is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
