About Taiwan Surf Journal
“For just that moment, the power of water was lifting me, and everything else became eternal.”
Taiwan Surf Journal is more than a magazine. It’s a journey into the heart of surf culture, a celebration of the waves that carry us, and a tribute to the transformative power of the ocean. Rooted in Taiwan, our stories reach beyond its shores to connect surfers around the world through shared experiences, respect, and awe for the natural forces that shape our lives.
Our mission is simple: to bridge the surf communities of Taiwan with the global surf world, celebrating each wave, each story, and each breath in between. We bring together the voices of local surfers, travelers, and ocean lovers to explore not only the sport but the lifestyle, history and cultural richness that make surfing so much more than a pastime.
What You’ll Find Here
Taiwan Surf Journal dives deep into the nuances of surf culture, both local and global. You’ll find:
- Stories from Taiwan’s Coastlines: Guided by the belief that “this land heals you” we explore Taiwan’s unique surf spots, wild coastlines, and the rhythms of life by the sea.
- Global Surf Experiences: From the remote beaches of Lanzarote to the sacred temples of Japan, we share tales of surfing’s universal appeal and the inner journey it inspires.
- Conservation and Stewardship: We are committed to honoring and protecting the ocean. Our articles explore environmental challenges, sustainability practices, and the role of surfers in preserving our coastlines.
A Personal Note
Like many surfers, we have felt the pull of the ocean—a place where moments stretch into eternity and worries fade with the tide. We understand that surfing is a search, a meditation, and a connection to something greater than ourselves. Through Taiwan Surf Journal, we aim to share this connection with those who, like us, live for the waves and cherish every ride.
