MixTape Vol2 - Adventures in flow

Seven things to do in Dulan - Sessions - MixTape Vol2. A collection of new and old footage focused around surf, skate, SUP, windsurf, wingfoil, music and film.
Film - the story behind Outlet's Drift's Lady of the Ocean music video.
Breathe - freediving with the local spearos to catch fish.
Onda - Portuguese for 'wave" , Brazilian Gabe Gras plays with a few.
What's SUP Dulan? Yong-yi Chen stand up paddling in waves and on tour.
Wind - windsurf and wingfoil action, past and present.
My Ear - Peter Brown, storm survivor and buffalo rider, conjures up some Southern-style Pidgin Chinglish rap - a doodle - do. Nobody quite makes music feel like such an art.
Solid Liquid - backyard ramps, typhoon sessions and graveyard shifts.
Rock on - Dulan rockers 'Atoa" play two songs. Cigarettes (recorded) and Pretty Birds (live on WGLG's rooftop).

Martian Sunrise

They surf among us..
Anyone remember that fateful week, late September 2025, when the waves went extra terrestrial on us? Shapeshifting, hollow, otherworldly. Aviv, Gabe Gras and others surfing in inner space.

Special thanks to UFO @zonlinfly for the drone piloting.

Taichi Hagita

A couple waves at an undisclosed spot with Japanese ripper Taichi Hagita (about 20 minutes spent filming). This video does not do justice to how good this guy really is. Hope to make a proper film when he visits Taiwan again.

Sólido Líquido

WaGaLiGong Dulan Surf & SUP House presents Sólido Líquido, our latest surf film in the 'Sessions' series. Gabriel Gras, Matt Hayward, Tim Koens and Mark Jackson ride the liquid and the solid. Gras, one of Taitung’s best barrel surfers, comfortably pops in and out of them and makes it look too easy.
Surfing and skateboarding have always had a special relationship. They have always influenced each other and fed off of each other’s energy and ideas. Expect to see more skate and surf sessions in the near future. Watch Sólido Líquido now!

TYPHOON TALIM

WaGaLiGong Dulan Surf & SUP House was at this sweet session in September 2017 with Gabriel Gras ripping some point break waves.

TYPHOON TRAMI

Good times at WaGaLiGong Dulan Surf & SUP House.
A couple of waves courtesy of Aunt Trami this October. We had a super fun surf session at one of our favorite point breaks. Some of our students surfed a point for the first time.

37 seconds in South Africa

A couple waves in surf-rich South Africa.

FRONTYARDS

Every year we seem to gravitate more to a certain spot than others. Years ago we used to froth over Bob's. Last year One Eye was voted best spot by the riders. But sometimes you don't need to look further than your front yard. This year Dulan made a comeback and we had many fun sessions literally right out front. Countless waves, jumps, crashes, hours spent racing your friends into the deep, constant flow and a good crew of windsurfers. What a time to be a windsurfer!

DONGHE

When the waves are small there is always Donghe (North Side). Hours of fun at the skatepark.

TAITUNG WAVE CLASSIC (PART4)

Some clips from Taitung Wave Classic. The general consensus is that 2024 was one of, if not the best, WaveJams in the event’s 10 year history.

TAITUNG WAVE CLASSIC (PART3)

Since it’s our ten year anniversary of the TWC, I made this flashback video to our first ever Taitung Wave Classic which took place ten years ago in 2015.

TAITUNG WAVE CLASSIC (PART2)

The Taitung Wave Classic celebrates the base of the windsurfing pyramid - the guys who are not pro but just love the sport with a passion. In part 2 of the 10 year anniversary video, Teb Leung, Jonathon Rudich, Nick Postec, and Mark Jackson tell us why any windsurfer in Asia who wants to improve their wavesailing should be at this event, happening this November (as it has every November for the past 10 years), on Taiwan's beautiful east coast. From the camaraderie between sailors, to the improvements from sailing with a solid group of peers, and of course the awesome closing party, The Taitung Wave Classic, or Wave Jam as it is also known, is a must for windsurfers looking to sail in Taiwan's best windsurfing spot.

TAITUNG WAVE CLASSIC (PART1)

Ten years!
The Taitung Wave Classic on Taiwan's east coast has been running for ten years! A full decade of wave jamming, making friends, old dogs learning new tricks, young dogs realising that the old dogs still fuckin’ rule (haha), crashing, braais and parties and lots and lots of windsurfing.
Somehow we made it through a decade without quitting. We made friends, we jumped thousands of waves, drank hundreds of beers, and rode countless waves. Occasionally we let buddies snake our waves, called buddies into sets on the outside. We chose spots based on the best conditions, windsurfed when windy and surfed when not. We never competed against one another cos its already enough just battling the ocean when it’s ON..and besides, if you have taken the time to learn windsurfing wave sailing you are already ONE IN A MILLION. You are a winner, period. Thanks to everyone who has supported the jam over the years, from 2015 when we started to gather the scattered tribes from all over Taiwan, Asia, and beyond. Windsurfing is 100% underground, just like skateboarding in the 80s, which makes it even more special. We appreciate every single one of you who made the journey to jam with us.
Hope to see you at WaveJam ’24.

ROUGH CUTS

Rough cut from Sunday (4/18) at Jinzun.
Near collision: 曾映皓 - sorry bro I owe you a beer!
Setup: Severne Mako 79l and Severne Blade 4.0
Wind: 25 knots and up
Wave: Head high to logo on the sets/ Bumpy outside the bunker, and getting smooth as silk further inshore at Leftovers.

2 NANO MINUTES

First sessions on the Severne Nano V2. Super light wind, ranging from 10 to 18 knots and small, fun waves. Was using the 77l and Severne Blade 5.0.
WaGaLiGong Dulan is stoked to now be working with Severne and the guys (Howard and Alex) at Liquid Sports in Penghu.

ANEMOI

Windsurfing session at Dulan Point. The Anemoi (wind gods in Greek mythology) have been specially busy this year, blessing us with some fantastic windsurfing sessions.

SOMETHING FOR WINDY

When the wind is howling let WaGaLiGong take you out windsurfing at our backyard spots.

SURF VS WINDSURF

Another session at WaGaLiGong Dulan Surf & SUP House.
Everyone remembers that special session, whether it be on a skateboard, a surfboard, windsurfing or spearfishing. In between sessions, we dream about the last session, and anticipate the next one. The session is everything. In this episode of "Sessions" Howard Chang punts a real aerial (6 foot?) on a windsurfer (!), Gabriel Gras and David A. Hays get barreled.

Rough (Foil) Cuts

When the wind is too light for windsurfing, or the waves too small or messy, it's time to go wingfoiling. Some rough cuts of wingfoiling in Dulan, Taiwan. What happens when your wing's leading edge bladder bursts half a mile out to sea? Watch Rough (Foil) Cuts to find out!
WaGaLiGong is now adding wingfoil tours and downwinders to our already established water sports menu of coaching and guiding (surf, SUP surf, SUP tours, advanced windsurfing). Our lessons and tours are based on years of experience in the ocean practicing what we do for fun. Contact us for more details.
