Good and Bad News

(RAT) Sorry we haven't updated so much the last little while but it's not strange really, because of several reasons..

Firstly, the Baltic Sea froze this year and so surfing is downright impossible until maybe april.
Secondly, it has been a real winter here and really cold for ages and ages.
Thirdly, apart from Andrew and Frexi, all of us others have kids and winters are filled with all sorts of sport activities that suck a parents' free time to the maximum.
OK, enough of the ramblings!!!
The BAD news first..... Our CLASSIC 'Midnight Runners' life member Andrew lost his job over here in Sweden and has been forced to go back to the States..bummer..very sad for us other crew members..he was a really funny guy and a part of the gang ..he will be sadly missed..hope he gets back here soon..the photo's I put in are a little tribute to him..we are gunna miss you 'Pinky'..
The GOOD news is that the remainder of the crew Jay, me and Johan are off to Norway for a week on the 9th of March..only 18 days left Yeeehoooo..we have scored great surf every time we have gone because we have just 'taken off' when the surf report looked good. This time, however, we were forced to book a week in the calender and chance that there will be surf because Jay's wife is expecting a baby in 2 months..we figured we had to take Jay on a 'last mission of freedom' assault, (kind of like a buck's night sort of thing, hahaha) before he buckles down with 2 little kids for a while..
We promise to put in some insane pics..even if the surf is crap I'm sure I can get Johan to do something superbly dangerous to give you readers some enjoyable pictures to look and laugh at..hahahahaa..anyway..until 9th march peace from the midnight runners..RAT

Don't worry Andrew, we haven't 86 you completely. I have a pretty good feeling you and your wife will return to Sweden in the next 5-10 years. By then we should have even more epic places to surf. If you guys never return to live here, well, there are always those month long visits where if by chance we'll get waves. If not we'll hang out and catch up. Since you're a life-long member of the Midnight Runners, I don't think any of us up here would mind if you added your own stories and pictures of your surfing adventures, especially when we're dry on surf like we have been all winter. It would be nice to at least see something than a dead blog. We will miss you and your funny personality that we've all looked forward to having along on the surf trips. Even if far and in between, we all know it won't be the last we've seen or heard from you and we will all do our best to stay in touch. It's the brother's cup.- Jay
