The surfers in Taiwan are super cool. \u00a0I was going to jump into the river and this girl stopped me to tell me it was dangerous. \u00a0I listened to her and paddled around. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I didn’t expect this at all. \u00a0Driving down the coast just gazing at the ocean. \u00a0Then I cross a bridge and see waves from the corner of my eye. \u00a0I slammed the brakes, did a u-turn, and drove directly to the ocean. \u00a0I pulled up and this perfect wave was breaking with nobody riding it. \u00a0I took my board out of my bag, waxed it up, and paddled out my fastest. \u00a0I surfed this perfect right all to myself! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Taiwan surfers are cool. \u00a0Break your board and instead of crying, they’re laughing. \u00a0I love it.\"\"<\/p>\n

I don’t know what this spot is called. \u00a0I don’t know why there were waves. \u00a0All I know is if you search for waves with an open mind, you will find it. \u00a0And once you find it, ride it. \u00a0This is what surf trips are all about.\"\"<\/p>\n

This ended up being a session that wasn’t supposed to happen. \u00a0If I didn’t look through the cracks of the bridge, I would have drove right by and missed it. \u00a0Next time I go to Taiwan, this spot is going to be on the top of my list. \u00a0It was that good! \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the part I love about surf trips. \u00a0Just go with the flow and see what happens. \u00a0If Mother Nature wants to be nice to you, she will. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I met the coolest Japanese surfer in the water. \u00a0His name was Junya from Yugawara. \u00a0He knew Shun and Yo-chan so we ended up having a great connection. \u00a0Both of us super stoked to meet each other and share the epic waves. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

After that surf session, I continued on my sketchy drive down the coast. \u00a0Thanks to the earthquakes, typhoons, and landslides, there were still rocks all over the roads. \u00a0Still the most scariest drive of my life. \"\"<\/p>\n

All the hotels were still empty because of the natural disasters. \u00a0I told the staff where I was planning to drive to and he looked at me as if I were crazy and said “BE VERY CAREFUL!” \u00a0Great advice…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
