Surfline Forecast Consulting Fuels the ISA and China to Host Surfing Festival
November 08, 2011
November 8, 2011- Huntington Beach, California/USA -- The International Surfing Association is proud to announce the Hainan Riyue Bay International Surfing Festival presented by Quiksilver that will take place in Wanning, Hainan Island, China.

The ISA selected the left point break at Riyue Bay on Hainan Island off the coast of southeast China after consulting with Sean Collins, founder and President of Surfline (www.surfline.com). Collins is generally considered the world's foremost surf forecaster. He conducted a historical analysis of the surf along the east coast of Hainan and, after visiting the Island in March, he reported that Riyue Bay held the best opportunity for world class waves.

Collins remarked, "Hainan Island in China produces consistent fun surf during the winter, and especially during the month of January according to our research of swell patterns over the last 15 years. I am very impressed with the local setup of various good quality surf breaks around the Riyue Bay area that enjoy prevailing offshore winds and clean conditions during the best swells."
