They constitute a pretty massive niche market.<br /><br />Misplaced exhiliration....definitely not one of my symptoms, and you would't need a board to reach Shanghai when the levee breaks (choice of versions here). Simply walk on the water, I mean the garbage.<br /><br />Now for some of that latin quod....stuff. Off to my site Froog for my surfing latest, and leave a comment, so I know that you have reported in for Life Guard duty.KingTubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414648192564955665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211583.post-55040425997750898322012-02-14T01:34:47.301+00:002012-02-14T01:34:47.301+00:00I've always been fascinated by surfing - spent...I've always been fascinated by surfing - spent hours watching and photographing it when I visited Sydney some years ago. Opportunities to take up the sport in China, though, are somewhat limited.<br /><br />Have you seen the documentary <i>Step Into Liquid</i>? That's a GREAT surfing film. And it has some VERY BIG waves at the end.<br /><br />One of my ideas for a 'China book' is called <i><b>Surfing To Shanghai</b></i> - inspired by the image that when (when, not if) the Three Gorges Dam breaks, there will be some people who try to catch the wave all the way down the Yangtze. I see it as a metaphor for the misplaced exhilaration most foreigners seem to feel about China.Frooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738623732860210935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211583.post-86901088060572945312012-02-13T20:14:21.355+00:002012-02-13T20:14:21.355+00:00This last round up thru the bars and other low spo...This last round up thru the bars and other low spots is not a good idea.<br /><br />I can see an expats version of The Lost Weekend in the offing.<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037884/<br /><br />Want to get a new lease of life on the edge, follow my example and take up big wave surfing.
