In Wassup Man, Park Joon-hyung set off in search of 'Korea's surfing hotspot' and enjoyed a 'California vibe' — surfing by day and beach parties by night — in Yangyang, Gangwon. That summer special, riding the waves so hard the GoPro fell into the sea, came from here.
Yangyang is Korea's surfing capital, with surf shops and beach bars gathered around Jukdo and Ingu beaches and the Hajodae Surfyy Beach. From beginner lessons to full rides, and at sunset the whole beach buzzes like a lounge.
Pair it with Naksansa and the Hajodae viewpoint for an overnight in Yangyang. For surfing, it's best to book equipment rental and lessons in advance.
