China - the Surprise of Hainan Island

"You're not going to China to surf! Or are you?"

For the first time in a long time I don't really know what to answer. Yes? No? Maybe? The more I get asked this question and the more confused I get about what the most appropriate response would be. 

How do I know if I'll surf when I don't have the foggiest idea of what awaits me when I arrive? Although I've tried to research as much as possible beforehand, I don't really know what to expect from this trip.
