Imagine the toxic filth flowing into the left hander:

"North Korea is an unexplored surfing paradise. Really"

That's taking journalism to new unimagined heights, cruising the coast from Google Earth, proclaiming one spot "Trestles" and the whole joint a surfing paradise.

Christ, the BS flows thick and fast.

North Korea is effectively shadowed from Pacific groundswells by Japan, even a rare bird straight south typhoon has to get past the South Korean coastline in what is a tighter swell window than the fcuking english channel.

OK, so you might get a few surfable windswell days during the ameehan (although primarily North Korea is too far north with the fronts sweeping from Siberia from the land out to sea- ergo freezing cold W winds from the steppes, not swell bringing NE winds ala Phillipines). Effectively a poor mans Mediterranean with a charming dictatorial culture. Actually that 1984 snapshot and watching people eat dogs and seeing one of those military parades with all the foxy North Korean lasses goosetepping in uniform (every man has to admit in his heart of hearts that unalloyed totalitarianism is sexy as fcuk- it strikes the deepest, most atavistic caveman impulses in the human brain) would be the only reason to visit.

I like imagining surf in far off worlds you wouldnt expect waves .
Seen some waves in China ,- Qingdao and also flying into Dalian (small but rideable and definitely exotic ) .... so I can fully picture Notrh Korea getting it's fair share on the rare .
