Hainan’s Beautiful Beaches to Host Inaugural Event of China’s Next Boom Sport
美丽海南的第一次海上激情之旅

On January 10th and 11th 2009, the first annual Surfing Hainan will take place on Hainan’s east coast, attracting surfers from throughout Asia to compete and promote a sport gaining popularity among China’s youth.
第一届冲浪海南公开赛将于2009年1月10日和11日在海南的东海岸举行。全亚洲的冲浪爱好者都将被吸引前来竞赛并且在中国的年轻人中掀起一阵冲浪的热潮。

Hainan’s east coast gets quality and consistent waves from October until March, enjoyed by a small group of local Hainan surfers familiar with the islands coastline. But things are rapidly changing with Hainan’s east coast already becoming a popular destination for surfers from Asia and the world.
海南的东海岸在每年的十月到三月间都会有持续的非常适合冲浪运动的海浪,但是只有少部分当地的熟悉海岸线的冲浪者才经常来这里享受冲浪的乐趣。如今海南的东海岸对于亚洲和全世界的冲浪者来说已经是一个非常的受欢迎的冲浪胜地了。

Surfing Hainan is locally-run surf company which provides lessons, day trips, packages and equipment rentals and sales. They have been developing the sport’s popularity on the island since 2007, noticing an increase in interest amongst from both surfers coming from abroad, and Chinese nationals looking to learn this popular sport. Surfing Hainan owner Brendan Sheridan says “Hainan has to be one of the last easily accessed tropical destinations in the world that still has virtually empty surf.”
“冲浪海南”是一家在当地运营的提供课程,旅行,包裹与设备的出租和销售的公司。他们从2007年就开始了对冲浪的推广和发展,因为他们注意到越来越多的国外冲浪者对这里感兴趣,而且,国内人也开始学习这项运动。“冲浪海南”的拥有者Brendan Sheridan说“海南肯定是全世界最后的可以获得的但是事实上没有任何冲浪发展的热带地区之一”

The competition looks to have good support in its first year and will have a positive influence on the local surfing and tourism scene. Surfing Hainan is hosting the event, using its local knowledge of waves and conditions to ensure the best possible surf for competitors.
比赛希望能够在第一年得到很好的支持并且对当地冲浪和旅游推广上产生积极的影响。“冲浪海南”将主办这次活动并利用自身丰富的对当地海浪及环境的了解来确保参赛者以最好的状态来参加比赛。

As surfing can be performed in several different ways the competition will contain three surfing disciplines of short board stand-up surfing, longboard stand-up surfing and bodyboarding, giving competitors the chance to perform in their discipline of preference.
按照冲浪的几种不同的表现方式,比赛将包含3个项目:短板冲浪,长板冲浪和趴板冲浪。选手们可以根据自己的喜好来选择项目。

With the sport being relatively new to the Chinese sporting scene, competition organizers hope to educate the Chinese public about surfing culture and technique. With a free coaching day planned for one of the two competition days, it is hoped local Chinese can get a chance to experience the thrill of surfing to increase the growth of the sport. The competition will raise awareness of surfing in China with hopes that in the near future, China will be able to compete on the world stage.
对中国运动群体来说,这项运动相对地还比较陌生,大赛组委会希望给予国内大众一些关于冲浪文化和技术的培训。因此在两天比赛中,有一天会安排免费的讲座,这不仅为国人提供了一个很好的机会来感受冲浪的刺激,更加速了这项运动在中国的发展。该比赛将引起人们对于冲浪在不久将来的强烈关注,中国将来也能够在世界舞台上竞技。

Surfing looks to have a bright future in China with more surfing related events happening and more major surf brands entering the market. The 2009 Surfing Hainan Open is open to all willing competitors, and interested parties can find information about entries on: www.surfinghainan.com
