Help Dropdeadfred!!

Our surfing buddy Dropdeadfred and his friends in sundsvall have paid for and built a concrete pool. Now the county has decided to rent the land to a company named Kubal.

This means that their pool might get torn down, and they really need our help. Sign the petition in the link below, and help them convince the county to exclude the tiny piece of land that the pool is on from the lease.

Your name counts!

'RATLAND' ..NEW SPOT..Surfed, christened and renamed!!

(Ratman)Having been the first person ever in Swedish history to surf an island up here in Sundsvall I am officially renaming and christening what was once named as 'SHITPOLES' by Johan and I, to.... 'RATLAND'...

It was a bombora with alot of potential..I paddled out into the middle of the ocean to get to it..(about 1km) and surfed it all by myself..It was a bit too small to work properly, being a bombora it needed a bit more swell, but the biggest of the set waves threw out nice a-frame peaks with grunt and I can see great things happening there in the future..while the other spot we surfed last night was waist to head high and slop, this place threw out double overhead with 3 times as much push and really clean conditions..

I know that I was the first ever to surf it because when I paddled back to land an old lady came down on the beach in amazement and was frothing at the fact that I paddled over alone and surfed it..She asked me if I was tired and if I was scared being out there alone ..hahaha...
She said that she had lived in the house on the point for 50 years and never seen anyone surfing there before even though she had seen really big waves breaking there!! When she saw me paddle over she got her binoculars and was sitting on the porch watching me...hahaha...bring on RATLAND...more on last night to come..peace..RAT

Back on the job..

(Johan) Well, now the vacation is over, and the reality of having to work all day is beginning to dawn on me. To really top it off the weather is fantastic, and is gonna be so for the rest of the week..

I guess it´s just Murphys law.. I´ll put up a picture of a reef girl, and try to give you all some inspiration.

Peace

GVN, small but fun

(Johan) I just got back from a cosy little four hour session. Jay and I went, since Rat is going on some Citroen Golf contest tomorrow, and he had heeps to do at work.

When we got to GVN, there was 2 other cars at the spot. One was Drop dead Freds, and the other one belonged to some newbies. The weather was beautiful, light winds and blue sky. We surfed the waist to chest high waves for a couple of hours and got some half decent rides. When the moon came up at around 23.30, we decided to call it quits. We went up to the car and feasted on the sandwiches and coffee that Britta(Jays wife) had made us.

All in all a good trip. Small but fun sorta sums it up!
Peace
