Gold yet again...

We FINALLY got some surf again..Just Johan and I, all alone.It was 8 degs out when we got there and 8 degs in the water..No probs with the great wetties we've got.. it's almost too warm in them actually!! See Johan in the background just about to cutback on the outside wave??!!
Friday the 19th oct..we left from Östersund at 1pm and got to Sundsvall at @ 3pm.Jay and Andrew had to work and Frexi is studying in Uppsala (I think).This is what greeted us when we arrived..Although it looks small it's a zoomed camera shot.they were about shoulder high with the occasional overhead set.
When we arrived it was light onshore and not a footprint on the whole beach..(note Johans footprints in the sand!!)..we were alone again. No-one had walked on the beach for a month.. The boomgate on the private road was closed so we had to get changed and walk the last 600m
This shot is of our other secret spot ...yet to be surfed, by anyone, EVER! We checked it before hitting our other spot.We'll wait for bigger surf and then we'll hit it and name it..haha DISCOVERY.!! a car shot from the jourmey there..
Another shot of our new secret spot..clean and knee to waist high..can't wait for a big swell!!

Out of focus..and the camera was as well..haha

there's the date
Johan about to hit it
self portrait on a really nice sunny but half chilly day..still light onshore
a little peak hits while johan waits for a set wave
merry xmas to you all from the cold country
check out those muscles mate
head's really ugly though
We surfed alone on an empty beach for 3 hours till it got dark..at about 4.30 the wind died and it got cleaner..it even went offshore..both johan and I got small but incredibly good fun tubes..not the aussie type tubes but a tube up here is worth gold to us..it was heaps of fun in a year that hasn't offered much in the way of favourable surf conditons..last year we were surfing almost every week 'till the ice hit the ocean up here..this year it has been blowing westerly in some form almost all the time and that means that the waves are getting blown over to Finland..this year I wish I was living in Finland..Might have to hit Norway and get some real surf soon..Hears to surfing totally alone..I like it ..I don't care about the cold..the wetty's are so good the cold water's no problem at all..it just means less people surfing..hahaha..go the icewaves..

Peace from the midnight runners..Pray for surf
