Gooood Session and a true surftrip!

(Johan) We had a really good trip saturday. My knee held up for about 2 hours, then I decided to get out of the water and snap some shots of the surf.

It was really cold, but as the photo says, "Make friends with the cold", we did.

There´s actually 6 boards in here, along with 3 guys and a lot of other stuff.. Gotta just love Citroën!

Ratty hacks a cutty on a little one.

A nice clean one peals off unridden!!!

A better indication of the size of the medium ones
Nice and clean..and COOOOOLD. 1.7 degs in the water..it HURT to dickdive more than about 3 waves in a row!
The 'One that got away'..It was this big!!!

The Photographer himself, Kojak
When we got there it was sunny and about 4 degs out..It was onshore but we saw it was building..The prognosis said that it would be onshore all day but we got lucky and about 20 mins after we paddled out the wind died completely for about 45mins and we got some really goos ones with an ever increasing swell..After johan got out the wind came onshore a little bit again but some biiiig mothers came thru ..(RAT) I duckdived under 2 waves that were solid 6 footers ozzie size..Unfortunately i was in the wrong spot and had to duck under them as i watched them break cleanly over my head..sad..but such is life..we had an unreal surf and it's the start of a really good season I'd say..Here's to Norrland..peace from the Midnight Runners.

Ser ut som ni hade en fin trip som vanligt grabbar. Själv sitter man med plugg upp över öronen och ser inte skymten av surf. Jag hoppas att jag kan ta mig hem nåt i vår och surfa med er.. peace amigos

Det var som fan. I Sundsvall!!!!! Robert tipsade mig om sidan. Olle den ormen lurade mig om att Johan jobbade på tullverket. Ni hade tur i Hoddevik också ser jag. Och ni träffade Olav, han springer upp & ner för berget på 34 min. Tog mig 1tim 48 min att bara ta mig upp. Slå en signal nästa gång ni är på väg till Sundsvall.
