My choice to stay in Busan for next year is certainly the right move. Yesterday I spent about 4hrs surfing in the ocean, riding powerful waves with new Korean friends and was deliriously happy. Fog moved in at about 5pm and we were called out of the water by life guards. By 6pm things were clearing up and although not "clear enough" according to the safety specialists, we were back in the ocean by 6:30pm as guards were off duty.
The staff at Seong Jeong Surf Club are really friendly and offer a place to shower if you rent with them. If you own your own board you can also arrange for storage there. People used to surfing on the west coast of North America may be disapppointed if they expect similar waves in South Korea. This is a great place to learn or at least keep your skills tuned for your next big trip to Bali!
You can rent surf boards and wet suits for a combo price of ￦25,000 for the whole day. SJSC is located next to the new Angel in Us coffee shop on Sonjeong Beach.
Keep your ears open for the surf competition in Busan in early September!
