One of those days that gets etched into your memory forever. A secret wave, no one around for miles and all the time in the world to enjoy it.

Thick, round and another wave I have never seen another surfer paddle out to. Surfing Taiwan happy to keep these secrets for our guests to enjoy.

I have surfed the majority of time alone in Taiwan. Here I get to enjoy watching good friend and Quiksilver country manager Clayton Wholley disappear under the curtain.

Vince loves his time in Taiwan, dropping by at different times during the year to slot himself into some quality barrels.
