偷泥代po Phonshia是台大中文的交換學生 ==============這是 Phonshia 的英文心得============================= A Surf Experience When I first decided to sign up to go surfing at JinShan, I knew it was going to be exciting and memorable. JinShan turned out to be a great and convenient area away from Taipei's bustling streets and traffic. The area was very peaceful and the beach area was even more relaxing with a shoreline lacking crowds or commotion. The store's location was also only a walk away from the beach, which made carrying the surfboard much easier. Facilities such as bathrooms, changing rooms and shower rooms were also readily available and also very clean. The store itself was very small, but carried a lot of products, that though I am no surf expertise, were at least very cute. I had never surfed before, so I did not really know what to expect. I thought the surfboard was really heavy, but luckily the instructors and others were always there to help me. I was also impressed with the English skill level of our instructor. We had no problem understanding the concepts and the instructions. I think they believed it very important to explain the details of surfing before allowing us to surf in the water. This included lessons in simple paddling and lying on the board. Even in the water, the instructors were there to encourage and remind us in English of what we had learned. Though we were left to practice on our own, the instructor consistently checked up on each student to ensure they were catching waves, or at least having a good time. By the end of the day, I felt that everyone had a great time. I especially found the environment to be very friendly and welcoming. Previous to this trip, I had no idea that Taiwan had a surfing area or anything resembling beach/surfing culture. Though nothing like bigger harbor city beaches, the small beach and store allowed a more personalized and less commercial atmosphere. The store and this area in JinShan proved to provide a laid back, relaxed surfing environment welcoming to surfers of any level. ============================================================================ --
