Today we confirm this trend, once more.<br \/>\nIndeed, we have to face reality : at the moment there is still no<br \/>\nestablished surf shop or shaper or camping site, and english-speaking<br \/>\nfellows are too rare.<br \/>\nWorse, we have came across some expatriates who have expressed their<br \/>\nunwillingness to see visitors coming in. Damn, what will happen when the<br \/>\nChinese themselves will start surfing ?! They are 1.5 billion, 7 millions on<br \/>\nHainan itself ! C\u0092mon guys, you should launch surf schools for the local<br \/>\nkids instead, and teach basic knowledge such as the surf etiquette.<br \/>\nOn the other hand, visitors also need to understand their own influence in<br \/>\nand out of the water. Altogether, we are giving birth to a new form of<br \/>\nleisure and, dare we use the word : a new culture.
