Yeah, North Korea Was Never On My "To Do" List

Good news. According to the Pyongyang Times, North Korea’s tourism authorities are offering surf tours to international guests during “this present bathing season.” The first tours ran from July 28th through August 6th. So far three areas are open for tourists: Songdowon, Lake Sijung, and Majon. A quick search of Google Earth shows that these are indeed coastal communities, and that the Sijung area could probably serve up some fun sandbar action. Songdowon is tucked into a sheltered bay but the surrounding area is dotted with setups.
