Only people who surf can understand how healing the ocean is. After experiencing surfing, I've not only been fascinated by the ocean, but also met my one and only soulmate.

My first experience with surfing was when I fell in love with this challenging outdoor sport. Surfing is my main interest right now, followed by computer-related research. I work as an engineer in the Hsinchu Science Park, and I hope to develop, plan, and build a drone that can be mounted on the shore in the future.

Charlene

Surf Coach

Originally, in 2016, a stranger entered the little shack from Breast Touching Lane, unintentionally embarking on the grand path of surfing. Leveraging the exceptional physical qualities of a dancer and the articulate communication skills of a marketer, she obtained a lifeguard license through specialized training, becoming the first female coach outside of the shack's regular lineup.

In 2020, she found happiness in the little shack and became a mother in 2021. Looking forward to the future, she hopes to introduce surfing to more adults and children, providing them with a summer filled with waves, friends, laughter, and moments of inspiration.
