I lived and surfed in Taiwan in the late 70′s. Mostly at McCaully Beach which was pretty fun beach break when it broke good. But for THE epic surf trip you have to take the train all the way down to the southern tip of the island to Olampi (sp?).
If you look at a map of the island that tip at Olampi sticks right out into the South China Sea (one of the most active storm seas in the world) and the surf there is EPIC! Some incredible beach break and point surf, but it’s a long train ride and you will defintely be in the sticks. When I was there locals came out on the beach because it was such an event to see surfing and they almost never saw white men down there. Give it a try if you’ve got the time, it could be an epic trip!
