Skate session

Yesterday I had a short skate session at the mini ramp. Good fun! Met up with Joshi, who´s a really good skater. He´s gonna go compete in Thailand soon.

Tonight I might skate again, I´m stoked!

16 days...

Now its 16 days til I get to enjoy this perfect view... The apartment is right in this house, and I really can´t wait to get there.
There´s a world of difference between having 200 km, or 30 meters to the break.. Surf´s up!

Crowd control

We´ve had visitors so far from Oz, France, Great Britain, Ireland and the US. Not to forget Gothenburg, Stockholm, Sundsvall and other parts of Sweden.

*edit* And the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland and Sri Lanka

Finally!!

Finally the weather is turning back to crap! It´s been great having sun and all, but good weather doesn´t generate any swell, and thats all that matters in life. Swell that is.

Soon I might get my longboard trucks and wheels back from Rob, he´s had them for a little too long now. Then I´m gonna buy a new deck, and then I´m gonna go carve some hills up!



Looks like the wind is picking up, maybe there´ll be a little evening surf session.

Now it´s exactly 17 days til me and Sofie pack up the car with the boards and the kids and head for Anglet. I really can´t wait to get there, it´s gonna be so nice to be able to surf the fish in just boardshorts, without 7 kgs extra of neopren.

Well, crossing my fingers for tonight. Laters

Boat surfing!

No swell today, but GREAT weather! Went out and boat surfed with my neighbour instead, good fun! Tomorrow there´s a slim to none chance there might be swell, but we´ll have to check tomorrow. Later!

Rip off for the summer!

Since it´s now officially summer here in Norrland, I am changing the layout of the blog to a little more "summer theme". I stole the idea from my buddy Rob: http://somenfotograf.blogspot.com/

Thanks Robban!

And again...

What a perfect day! Woke up this morning and it was 20 degrees out, summers finally here! I had a meeting between 8.3o and 10, so I was planning on hitting the road and then hitting the surf at around 12. When I got there it was pretty messy, but who cares?! The waves were malibu size and the weather was outstanding, so I took the 4/3.

Super choice! It´s incredible how much more flexible I was without the extra rubber! And to finally be able to loose the hood

was great! I got a few really nice ones in the sun, and just as I was about to get up, Jesper came. We shared the chop and then I had to go back, since I had to pick Jacob up at kindergarten at 16.30.... That was not very likely to happen, since the time was 14.19 when I drove from the spot.. But.. I made it. Another great day in Norrland! Tonight Lotta (rats wife) is having a birthday party, but since my missus is at a work dinner with the car, I won´t be able to go. So congrats to Lotta anyway!
