Day 1: LAX-Las Flores Written by Stuart Henry Our adventure started with a hectic, yet gratifying series of events.  A group of kids from all along the California coast met at a ticketing desk for an airline we’d never heard of to board a plane for El Salvador.  Though we all come from different backgrounds, we share the same passion and find the most joy and happiness through surfing.  The first reason we were drawn to this place.  El Salvador is a beautiful country blessed with world class waves, but the people do not have a high standard of living.  In order to make this country even greater, is important to give back to the communities here.  It took 13 long hours of travel to finally reach our first destination, Las Flores.  Upon...

2012 Silver Dragon Tidal Bore

By Blog, Events, Featured, Travel

  It was another amazing adventure to China this year. My trip started off in Beijing for  press conference and some sight seeing. From there I flew to Hangzhou to meet my fellow tidal bore surfers and Wabosono crew. Check out our pics from the trip, surfing the tidal bore and a brief blog I wrote while I was there.   DAY 1:Our morning starts off the day with a safety briefing meeting on a massive police yacht located on the river.   Fifteen eager pro surfers, multiple camera crews, media personnel and government officials  are packed like sardines into a room listening to Chinese men tell us what we cant and can do on the river. “No going to close to the river banks due to underwater jetties and poles that can suddenly appear.

By Travel

I am off from skydiving and shark diving in Fiji to China to surf the Silver Dragon Tidal Bore. Is this life for real? We have a great group of surfers from around the world joining us. It should be a blast! Here’s a link to a Transworld Surf article and video from when we were out there last year. Surfing China 2010 from Glenn Brumage / Wabsono on Vimeo. Twice every year the Qiantang Tidal bore thunders down the river from the Hangzhou Bay almost 30 miles past the city of Hangzhou. Since 2007 Surfing China and Wabsono, with the permission of the Chinese government, has invited Pro surfers to surf the bore known as the “Silver Dragon”.
