Summercrowds

Summer normally means lots of people at the beach and in the water. This year the summer hasn't really been summer but a milder version of fall. None the less lots of new faces in the line up.. I grabbed a few photos during some mellow summer days.

This guy put on quite a show

Watch out!

Smack!!!

This girl carried a lot of style

Here he goes again

Mostly lefts in Hvide Sande

Here she goes again on a nice wave

Not lost at all

The Fjord

During my last session in Hvide Sande I made a quick stop at the fjord.
The Rinkøbing Fjord is a like a big saltwater lake with shallow water for miles.. Its an ideal learning place for the whole family and offers many spots , completely equidded with all kind of surf facilities. In the summer you are sure never to go out alone.. Thousands of tourist, many germans, travel to the fjord every summer.
You will see a wide variety of skills, from complete beginners to skilled freestylers . In Hvide Sande westerly wind are blowing offshore at the fjord, making the wind pretty gusty but the water calm..
Summer winds bring out all sorts of equipment - I love it !
Get out there  -  HAVE FUN

Gusty wind

All levels in one place..

Not sure what to think of the look of the point 7 sails

I remember theese kind of crashes

Loved this guy

Notice the matching harness!

Wind-SUP'ing

Mondays first session delivered Surf and SUp in high wind conditions.  The weather forecast predicted wind around 10 knots but we faced gusting 25 knots dead onshore. I never went out with my sup in such windy conditions, but it was actually dok. it tokk quite a lot of paddle work , but the waves made it all worth it..
As the session progressed the wind backed of a little and the lineup was quickly filling up..
