Hahaha, we found gold again...

070514 (Johan & Ratman) Hahaha, Jay STILL hasn´t become a dad.. Ratman and I left Östersund at 16.30 in the arvo, we had a pretty strong hunch that there´d be a swell coming sometime in the evening somewhere between 5-10pm from the info we'd gathered from the weather sights and we were hoping to get some more waves. Ratman had bought two new boards, a 6´0 Walden retro fish, and a 9' Bonga Perkins mal.

When we got to the spot, (we found a new route that cut off 20 minutes on the trip), the ocean was yet again flatter than flat can be.. We stood there watching for 20 minutes, and didn't see a set over knee high! It didn't look good...

We figured that since we´d gone all the way there, we might as well get wet. Maybe catch a small one with the mals, or paddle out to a secret spot we named Shitpoles to check out the bottom.
Then it happened again.. I swear the second we hit the water, the waves just started getting bigger, and bigger and BIGGER.. We had a few with the mals at the point, then went in to the shore, switched to the fishes and paddled out at another spot, a wave with a decent left& right.

We surfed for like 2,5 hours, and got so damn hot in our wetties that we had to take the hoods off. (The water was like 8 or 9 degrees, and compared to 5, thats warm..)

The surf was really really good..completely glassy with 4ft waves and 5ft sets and, of course, as usual..... no-one else out, just the 2 of us again..It's a tough life up here, so crowded..hahahaha

We had a really great surf and got out of the water at about 22.15pm. We changed and the minute we sat down in the car, it started pissing down raining! hahaha, classic! Talk about perfect timing again...

It might sound a little like we're just bullshitting to make the story(ies) sound good but it's all true..We promise if we get shit surf that we will write it as it was/is.!!!!!!

Then we drove past Stugun to say hi to Jay, since he was working night shift. As we pulled the car over, he stood there with 2 fresh cups of coffee! Classic again! Thanks so much for the coffee buddy, it was really appreciated! We got back to Östersund at around 01.20. Another super trip!

Sorry for the lack of photos, the batteries in my camera died after one picture.. Peace!
