Surfing carries certain risks, so it’s essential to follow the advice of professional instructors and choose the right surfboard for you. In Taiwan, winter brings northeast monsoons, and waves can reach heights of up to two stories. As a result, few people surf in winter. However, for many professional surfers, encountering such rare big waves is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
