Taitung County Government is continuing in another year of
cooperation with the World Surfing League (WSL) to host two of the four major
events. The events consist of the World Longboard Championship, and Junior
Championship. The QS3000 Men’s Shortboard Competition has also been added,
which continues to increase the scope of competitions that are held in Jinzun.
The number of athletes who will come to Taitung to compete has reached an
all-time high and has transformed the Taiwan Open of Surfing into the largest
international surfing event in Taiwan. In order to encourage most participation
from Taiwanese athletes, the grand prize has been nearly doubled — increasing
from NT$250,000 to NT$400,000. The grand prize this year breaks the record for
the largest cash prize of any surfing-related event ever held in Taiwan.  

Taitung County Government has also
pointed out that in addition to hosting the competitions, other events have
been added to increase the exchange between foreign and domestic surfers. For
the first time, in coordination with WSL PURE, the event “Marine Resources
Education Experience” will let the public enjoy the exciting surfing
competition and learn about environmental awareness related to marine
resources. In cooperation with local industries, a “surfing market”
and “surfing fun” activities will also be featured. Those attending
can enjoy some local cuisine and make an appointment to try SUP.

Taitung
County Government has emphasized that this event will feature some of the top
surfers from around the world. These include global CT competition champions,
wildcard surfers, some of the top 100 globally ranked surfers, and other top
performers preparing
for the 2024 and 2028 Olympics. The 2019
Taiwan Open of Surfing will be the most exciting event yet. Come and enjoy the
athletes battling it out on the water, DIY activities, and a lot more while at
