World's Best Surfing Can Be Found at Lake Taihu in The Wuxi China Expatdom

Considered to be one of the world's best surfers, Steve Thorp, says he is going to become a Wuxi Expat so he can surf the huge waves of Lake Taihu.  

"The Waves on Lake Taihu are the best in the world!" says Thorp.  "And Taihu is sure to be the Surfing Mecca of the world for centuries to come for two reason!  Number one:  Lake Taihu has the biggest waves in the world.  Only yesterday, I rode a wave that was three hundred feet high at the Ling Shan beach!  Reason Number Two: the Big Wave season at Taihu lasts twelve months a year.  I recommend surfing on Taihu in December and January when it is not so humid!  And if you are scared of the Big Taihu Waves, you can always surf on Li Hu which has waves like you would see in Hawaii and Australia!"

Thorp, who is also one of the world's leading proponents of Naturism, originally came to the Wuxi China Expatdom, to attend a Naturist Retreat at Ma Shan.  While there, he saw Lake Taihu.  "I couldn't believe the size of the waves!  It was a revelation!  I felt like I was like the first Europeans to come to Hawaii in the 1700s!  Not having brought a surfboard then, I made one of bamboo.  It was ripping!"

Thorp has opened a surfing supply shop in Ma Shan.  "You can buy or rent SB, Napapa or MacTavish Surfboards at a very reasonable price.  And if you are willing to try a local brand, I recommend Lihu Da Tao Boards."

There are rumours that Thorp's discovery of the surfing at Taihu will earn him a spot in the Wuxi China Expatdom Hall of Fame.  "Any person who can draw a hundred million tourists to the WCE deserves a spot in our Hall of Fame!" said Archduke Harry Moore, a two-time WCEHOF inductee.  "The 888m tall solid gold and diamond-encrusted statue of me on the WCEHOF Grounds can look lonely and forlorn!   A statue of Thorp riding some waves beside me would look grand!" said the Archduke.
