Before, a lot of people surf here but it is all foreigner people - but they live in China and come down to Hainan to surf. Right now there's more Chinese people getting interested in this sport. So every year we can see more Chinese people wanting to learn how to surf.

Yes and no. It's easy because I was one of the first so you don't have to worry about competition so much; but difficult because I've been having to build the market almost single handedly. Yes, so, easy and difficult.

In China you just don't have much of a beach culture. The locals come out later in the afternoon when the sun's gone down for a swim. But you won't see people suntanning in the middle of the day. People here in China, for the most part, they don't want to get a tan because tan denotes that you work outside which is a sign of poverty.

There were a couple of surfers who somehow found this place and they realised that there was nobody around yet and that this place is very unique and very good for surfing. And when there is a high season coming so the waves are really great, it's high it's freedom for surfers and that's how it happened.

Hainan (About this sound海南) is a province in South China located in the South China Sea. It is the smallest and southernmost province of Mainland China, consisting of various islands in the South Sea. Hainan Island, separated from Guangdong's Leizhou Peninsula by the Qiongzhou Strait, is the largest and most populous island under PRC control [note 1] and makes up the majority of the province. The name of the island and the province, Hainan, means South of the Sea, reflecting its position south of the Qiongzhou Strait.
The province has an area of 33,920 square kilometers (13,100 sq mi), with Hainan Island making up 32,900 square kilometers (12,700 sq mi) (97%) and the rest divided among 200 islands scattered across three archipelagos. It was administered as part of Guangdong from 1950 to 1988, when it became a separate province; around the same time, it was made the largest Special Economic Zone established by Deng Xiaoping as part of the Chinese economic reform.
The Li people, a Kra–Dai speaking ethnic group, are native to the island, and are a significant minority group in the province, comprising 15% of the population. Their native languages include the Hlai languages. They are recognized by the Chinese government as one of the country's 56 ethnic groups. The Han population, who compose a majority of the population at 82%, speak a wide variety of languages including Mandarin, Min Hainanese, Yue Chinese, Lingaoese or Hakka Chinese.[5]
There are a total of ten major cities and ten counties in Hainan Province. The capital of the province is Haikou, on the northern coast of Hainan Island, while Sanya is a well-known tourist destination on the southern coast. The other major cities are Wenchang, Qionghai, Wanning, Wuzhishan, Dongfang, and Danzhou.
According to China's territorial claims several territories in the South China Sea, including the Spratly Islands (Nansha) and Paracel Islands (Xisha),[6] are notionally administered as Sansha city of the province.

Snorkeling @ Houhai,Sanya
Update, this video was done before i took a freediving course, its with shitty technique, not proper gear, but most importantly, i was diving alone, which is pretty fucking stupid, don't do it and take a freediving course, u will feel better, look better, and be more safe.

Snorkeling footage taken @ Houhai Sanya on May 2016.
Probably the best snorkeling site you can find in Sanya, of course there are better ones, but them are hard to get to and some of them are off limits.
Also, if you want to do snorkeling, don't go there in winter, thats surf season for Houhai, heavy wave.
