There's one wave that everyone in the know compares Jinzun Harbour to, and that's the iconic Trestles, in California's San Clemente region.
The break at Jinzun - which is north of Taitung City - was formed when the breakwalls for the harbour were constructed more than 40 years ago. It produces consistent A-frame peaks which are playful but have enough push for some high-performance maneuvers, and the right shape for some long nose-rides.
There are lefts and rights breaking over a cobblestone bottom which provide the perfect canvass for a showcase of high-performance surfing, or in the case of the Taiwan Open of Surfing longboard events, a backdrop for timeless style.
It's these characteristics which make Jinzun the perfect venue for a triple-header showcase of board-riding, comprised of the Taiwan Open of Surfing, a QS3000 event, the WSL Junior Championships and the final stop of the longboard tour, the Taiwan Open World Longboard Champs.
Watch all the Finals Day Action from The Taiwan Open World Junior Championships.
This is a wave-rich zone located in eastern Taiwan. There are dozens of dozens of river mouth setups and left-hand point breaks to be discovered in the area, which has been compared to old-school Hawaii. And while surf culture might be in it's infancy in Taiwan, there's a new generation of local surfers currently making the most of their home breaks.
The South African style guru takes his maiden title at the Taiwan Open World Longboard Championship.
