Loop Surf salon is Asia’s largest surf club, and also serves as the national surfing training base. Located in Riyue Bay, Wanning, it is 87km from Sanya. Popular with Gen Z surfers, it is widely considered to be the best surfing spot in China.

The Foreo & FAQ x Loop Surf Beauty Class featured eight Gen Z KOLs, and a selection of surfer students and Wanning tourists. The attending KOLs have a joint total of 600,000 followers on the Chinese lifestyle social media platform Red. They included well-known fashion and travel names such as Xulaoshi and Joanna Li, and sports influencers Le Billyboy, Akasa, Wensley and Lukina.

After the surf classes, attendees were invited to participate in the Foreo & FAQ Seaside Beauty Class, which showcased the Luna 4 Go cleansing, the UFO 2 deep hydration, and the FAQ 201 post-sun skin repair devices.
