Final Thoughts

This concludes our recommended venues for Surfing in Yilan, based on Twosevenths mystery shopper reviews of five different Surfing in Yilan experience classes at Wushih Harbor, Shuangshi Beach, and other locations.

After your Surfing in Yilan class, you can usually continue surfing on your own, and venues also offer wetsuit and board rentals. Beginners should wear high-coverage, abrasion-resistant clothing for sun protection, chafing prevention, and jellyfish defense.

#Surfing in Yilan: Two-day, one-night package with accommodation, learn until you master it

author avatar
REVIEWED BY Yen

Yen recently experienced a half-day Surfing in Yilan mini-trip at Johnny Rose. The instructor-to-student ratio was just 1:2, and it even included a one-night stay.

First, you'll watch an instructional video at the venue, then head to the beach for hands-on training. The gentle, young instructor demonstrates the moves on shore, guiding beginners like Yen to first kneel on the board and then slowly stand up. This gradual process made Yen feel much more at ease.

Once in the water, the instructor observes the waves and pushes the board at just the right moment. Success comes from simply following their instructions, and they immediately provide feedback if your balance is off, making it a very beginner-friendly experience.

The ocean at this Wai'ao surfing spot is cleaner and less crowded, though you do have to carry your surfboard to the water's edge, and there's no sun protection during lessons, which Yen found a bit tiring. However, the entire surfing lesson is photographed, and you can receive the photos instantly via LINE afterward, which Yen found very convenient! This venue is perfect for beginners and anyone looking to capture beautiful photos.

#Encouraging instruction builds confidence

author avatar
REVIEWED BY Yen

Yen took a two-on-one Surfing in Yilan lesson with Lanyang Surfing. The boards were right on the shore, making it super convenient to get into the water. The coach started by teaching basic moves under a beach umbrella, only heading into the water once Yen was comfortable. Throughout the session, the coach helped spot waves and push the board.

What Yen appreciated most was the coach's incredible encouragement and feedback. Even when Yen struggled with paddling at first, the coach immediately explained the movements, offering constant praise and positive reinforcement. This helped a beginner like Yen gain confidence and improve quickly.

If you get tired during your surfing experience, there's no need to worry; individual beach umbrellas are available on shore for resting and storing personal items.

Additionally, this Wushih Harbor venue has the best photography skills. Yen loved every shot and received the photos instantly via AirDrop after coming ashore. Tagging the venue on social media even earns you a sports drink, making it perfect for anyone looking for a relaxed Surfing in Yilan experience.

#Solid on-shore tire simulation for Surfing in Yilan

author avatar
REVIEWED BY Yen

Yen signed up for Fanshu Surfing's half-day beginner Surfing in Yilan experience. The instructor-to-student ratio was 1:3, meaning there was a bit more waiting time during instruction, making it more suitable for beginners with some prior experience.

Yen initially expected a quick on-shore lesson before heading straight into the water, but it turned out to be a very comprehensive surfing course. The on-shore instructor was humorous and engaging, providing detailed and thorough instruction. They even used tires to simulate the unstable conditions of a surfboard, helping beginners adapt to ocean conditions in advance.

Once in the water, a different instructor took over, but they were equally dedicated and responsible. During breaks, they proactively offered Yen sports drinks and small snacks for replenishment, which Yen found very thoughtful.

Best of all, Yen, who initially struggled to judge the waves, eventually learned to paddle successfully with the waves thanks to the instructor's feedback and detailed explanations, leading to a great sense of accomplishment. This Yilan venue is suitable for beginners with some experience looking to improve their skills. Instructors also take photos throughout the session, which are available the same day.

#Multilingual foreign instructors

author avatar
REVIEWED BY Yen

Yen's experience at Jiku Surfing was a 90-minute, two-on-one Surfing in Yilan lesson. It began with basic instruction on land, under a sun umbrella to keep cool and conserve energy before hitting the water.

What makes this Wushih Harbor venue unique is its foreign instructors, who can teach in not only Chinese and English, but also French. While the instructor reviewed the movements before entering the water, there wasn't much guidance once in the surf, which left Yen feeling a bit lost when the waves were larger.

As a beginner, Yen found the experience somewhat challenging, especially with the holiday crowds. Several times, the instructor pushed her into areas with other surfers, forcing her to dismount the board.

While this venue may be less ideal for beginners, the instructors thoughtfully carry surfboards for female students and provide each person with a 2-liter bottle of mineral water. It's a great choice for experienced surfers who love the sport and appreciate thoughtful details.

#Meet fellow surfers and make new friends

REVIEWED BY 文

Haidao Surfing offers a warm, welcoming vibe from the moment you step up to the counter. Not only do they have a wide selection of surfboards, but the instructors are also incredibly friendly and patient, teaching you everything from scratch.

I particularly appreciated the instructor's explanation of surfing etiquette, which quickly familiarized beginners with the basic courtesies of the sport. This practical lesson helps ensure you don't inconvenience others in the water.

I came to Wushih Harbor for a surfing date, and the thrilling experience was perfect for strengthening our relationship. You can meet many fellow surfers during the lessons here, and the friendly, enthusiastic staff, owner, and instructors make the entire surfing experience both relaxing and enjoyable. It's an excellent spot for couples to unwind, play, and make new friends. I highly recommend this Wushih Harbor surfing experience to both new and experienced surfers—bring your partner or friends along to enjoy it together.
