Surfing Hainan Houhai Beach Clean Up
后海沙滩清洁活动
Please join Surfing Hainan on Sunday, April 25th, as we head out to one of our favorite beaches, Houhai, to perform a beach clean up. For those of you who have been with us to Houhai, you know it is a beautiful crescent-shaped beach stretching for nearly a kilometer on Hainan's southeast coast. You also know that the beach can gather an unacceptable amount of trash. So we're going out for the day to clean the beach up. We leave from Surfing Hainan at 10 AM on Sunday, and get back at 4 PM. Please confirm via email if you will be able to make it. Suggested donation of 50 RMB to cover transportation costs, plus beer (this is a Surfing Hainan event after all). Just bring yourselves - we will provide gloves and trash bags. Hope to see you there!

请大家来参加我们冲浪海南4月25号的后海沙滩清洁活动！
去过后海的人都知道后海沙滩是一个延绵一公里海南东南部的的天然半月形沙滩，同时沙滩上也有很多生活垃圾，所以我们这次要把沙滩清洁干净，让沙滩回复它本来的样貌。活动行程大概是这样，25号早上10 点前在冲浪海南店铺集合，10点我们准时出发，午餐，清洁工作，下午4点左右返回大东海。如有意愿，请回复我们的邮件和用其他方式联系我们，建议参加本次活动的志愿者每人拿出50元，冲浪海南将提供往返交通，午餐，啤酒，饮品等。谢谢大家支持！（本活动最终解释权归冲浪海南店铺。）

And don't forget Brendan has his fresh, exciting new Mandarin Oriental Breakfast Paddle where you just lay on the big, fat long board like a happy, lazy seal and Brendan pulls you all the way there and back...don't forget a good paperback... Cheers, Mario

The party has gone decidedly luxury upscale this weekend kicking off the Hainan Rendezvous Luxury Show. Featuring an impressive array of yachts for the super rich, we'll be wisely hanging out with Yvan Eymieu, Sales Manager for TUI Marine Hong Kong, on board their amazing Leopard Flybridge 47' Catamaran, sailed in specially for the show all the way from their Phuket marina in Thailand!

Sporting an "out the door" price tag at close to $1,000,000 USD, its easy to understand why Yvan will be popping the Moet Chandon champagne cork on board for prospective buyers, a few bottles of which he was luckily able to procure from Fat Daddy's over on Sanya Bay. See you there! Cheers, Mario

Iron Man China is back to Hainan Island for this year's annual big event in Haikou. They call it "Asia's Ultimate Endurance Experience" and I understand that our local boy Brendan, founder of Surfing Hainan will be competing; sans surfboard we assume

Cheers, M
