Surfbabes Made In China

In a country where most of the population can't swim and where suntanning and having a darker skin is considered as an heresy (being white is a sign of beauty for women in chinese culture) a new craze for a famous water sport has surprisingly emerged in the last few years.

Surfing mainly confined in asia to the coasts or islands of indonesia and thailand has reached the shores of the world's second economy.

More and more chinese especially girls, fed up with the pollution and pressure of big city life as well as social and family expectations have left for the tropical island and chinese province of Hainan in search of a new freedom which surfing has become a symbol for a all new generation of young chinese.
