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.
