Harbor session

As you migth know I recently acquired a race SUP board for flatwater..
I have had some sessions on it already and I love it. It is a pefect way to workout and  enjoy nature. I really like building up a sweat and this thing gives you plenty of opportunities.
To day I made a tow a hour session and afterwards I wanted to take the missis out for Lunch... She stopped by to shoot a few pictures.
When I left the water I found that some #%!!!¤  had nicked my shoes..
The first thing my wife says is "You cant go to that restaurant barefoot"
So after a little shoe shopping we went for lunch...

Industrial charm

Working on my race-technique

Notice the missing shoes

The dark side..

This weekend meant lots of action...
I really enjoyed both  the sup and windsurf action...
I put together  a little video of the go-pro sup action ..
I must admid that i still find myself  struggling going backside. I do seem to get some nice turns in whenever the waves get a little bigger. But I find it hard to make backside SUP'ing in smaller waves look radical.
Backside is still somewhat the dark side... Frontside is much more comfortable for me, must be all thoese years of windsurfing.

Great weekend

This past past weekend has been absolutely great.

It started out early friday morning for me.

Dawn session, waking up at 5.15,  hitting the water at 6.00 am.Only me and my friend Lars enjoying the waves on our SUP's. We surfed until 12 testing three diffrent spots.

Sunday evening meant windsurfing at its finest in Hvide Sande. Best windsurf session of the year for me..

All the guys out there enjoying some sunset windsurfing.

Man I really love windsurfuing allthough its bee a while since my last good session.

A few go-pro stills , muh more to follow...

Entering the buttom turn ....

  

First wave at aprox 6.01 am

Later at another spot

Formula Weekend.

This past weekend  we finally saw some summer weather in Denmark, temprature reach a record high.
My local surfclub hosted  a windsurf-race event wich is a part og the national danish racing series.
Absolutely no wind in my backyard, but crammed the sweating kids into the car anyway and we went to the beach. Lots of big sails and boards at the beach and they managed to run one race allthough the wind was barely noticeable at the beach.
A few shots from a hot day at the beach..

New Board

Finally got my hand on a race-Sup.
For a long time I have been dreaming of having a sup that I could tak to the nearby Harbour for a quick spin. I wanted something that could combine the fun of flatwater-SUP'ing anf a good cadiovascular workout..
I think I found was looking for and at a resonabel price...

Absolutely love the color.

Windy Sweden

Just saw  this swedish vid that I wanted to share with you



As previously metioned, the swedish wavescene is pretty active, see here

 I would really like to explore the swedish west- and south coast as it seams to offer some pretty good windsurf locations.
See more from the makers of the video here

Summer Action

The last few weeks have not offered the amount of action I had hoped for..
This week although  the weather forecast was windy and wavy.. Due to family obligations I opted for a post wind, wave SUP session  or to be more precise two session.
I drove to Hvide Sande fro the fisrst session, but the waves were very small - so straigth of to spot ff.  The wind was still blowing quite hard and very onshore, but the forcast was for the wind to drop.. Didn't happen though..
Hard work paddeling for the occasional wave, but worth it when you caught one..
A few pics...

Surf signs

Go-pro action

Cut back

The second session was a very windy session in the bay of Klitmøller, aka Cold Hawaii ... not great conditions but fun anyhow

Cold Hawaii - early morning

Mallorca

During the summer hollidays I spent a week in Mallorca with my in-laws. A total group of 12 persons enjoying the sun...
Tons of tourist on the sunny island.. not a wave to be seen but very nice water tempratures.
I acted windsurf/sup instructor for a day..
During my years as a med-syudent I often spend the summers working as a windsurfinstructor and I quickly picked up the old routine....
It can be hard learning how to windsurf, SUP gives you more immediate results but if the conditions for windsurf are ideal you can be sailing within minutes...

Hard job

Having fun

Nice scenery

Testing the Bic Sup

Pushing my son in to a few waves

Good times !
