Every year for the past three years, Brendan Sheridan, owner of Surfing Hainan’s surf shop and surfing school has hosted the Hainan International Surf Competition at Rieyuwan Beach. Top ranked surfers from around the world converge to ride some of China’s best waves.
Surfers are some of the most environmentally conscious people on the planet. Brendan knows it is important that not only Rieyuwan Beach but all beaches be keep clean and free of trash in order to continue to attract champion surfers to Hainan.
