About the Taiwan Open of Surfing
The Taiwan Open of Surfing is the largest, most prestigious, and also most important event for surfing in Taiwan. It takes place in the southern part of Taiwan. At Jincun Harbor in Taitung, to be exact. It is one of the most famous surf spots in Taiwan and is well known for its high-performance waves and crystal clear waters in front of beautiful mountainous scenery. The competition was held from November 24 – 28.
Covid-19 saw the cancellation of many international sporting events worldwide. Because of that, this year’s Taiwan Open of Surfing only featured domestic competitions across several divisions and the main event, the Taitung Challenge. The Taitung Challenge is a specialty event of the World Surf League with 24 of the best talents from Taiwan.
For the past 4 years, the Open has been the last destination for the World Surf League’s Longboard World Championships. Unnecessary to say that only the best of the best can join. To be part of this competition means putting Taiwan on the map of surfing.
