Held in beautiful Riyue Bay, China’s surf capital, on the holiday weekend of May 4th, the surfing
portion of the event will be a longboard competition, with separate divisions for Men, Women, and
Under 16s. Competing will take place on the beach break in front of the Riyue Bay Surf Club. The
skateboard portion of the competition will be held on the club’s 1.2m mini-ramp, as well as on a
variety of street skating modules, with separate divisions for Men and Under 16s. Organizers ex-
pect about 40 competitors for each discipline of surfing and skateboarding.
Edouard Moreau, Marketing and Sales Director of XSories, the presenting sponsor of the com-
petition, said “We are proud and excited to support the competition, Hainan Island and Riyue Bay
stays definitely the best place for surfing in China. With a new concrete skateboarding ramp on
the beach, the Riyue Bay Surf Club provides the best utilities for surfing and skateboarding to all
the local kids. The XSories Jalenboo Surf & Skate will be a unique event in China which combines
surf and skate skills. XSories will bring new and innovative solutions to all the surf and skate fans
during the event.”
There will be prize money of 19,000 rmb ($3,000 USD), which will attract the best surfers and
skaters from Hainan and beyond.
Favorites in the surfing discipline in the Men’s group is Tiezhuang, a Hainan resident who is origi-
nally from Mongolia. With his experience in several international professional surf competitions, he
looks to come away with a high result. Other frontrunners will be Jack Miao and Justin Tiller, both
Chinese surfers who have been honing their skills on Hainan for the past five years.
In the women’s longboard division, organizers expect Darci Liu and Monica Guo to be the two
competitors to beat, as both have competed in international competitions and are known for their
grace and style on longboards.
In the Under-16s division, many young competitors will get their first taste of competing. Ten mem-
bers of the Riyue Bay Surf Team will compete against a few more experience young surfers. They
will look to better Qiu Zhou, the only surfer in the Under-16s division who has competition experi-
Ence.
In the skateboarding competition, competitors will show their skills on a combination of mini-ramp
and street skate modules. Favorites include Xie Zeliang 谢泽梁 , who came in third place in the
2013 Haikou Skate Shop Comeptiiton, and Da Fei 大飞 who finished second in the 2012 World
Skateboarding Day Competition. Both are local Hainan skateboarders who will look to take top
place on their home turf.
The members of the local surf community will be invited to help set a China national record for the
most number of surfers on one wave. Organizers look to have around thirty surfers participate,
and anticipate it becoming an annual tradition. Additionally, there will be a Crazy Surf division,
where surfers will be invited to do the most bizarre and exciting thing they can think of on a wave,
whether it be wearing odd clothing, taking their pets surfing, or riding a non-traditional board.
Organizers hope to create the best beach party Hainan has ever seen. With barbeque and beers
available all day on the beach, the party will crescendo at night after the prize-giving ceremony,
when DJ Daven from the UK will spin his favorite tracks for the crowd.
