More summer fun !

Lots of fun conditions at the moment. Waves, sun and warm weather

Casper Steinfath was out there:

The guys from chopless  have posted a series of epic photos:

Go check them out !

 Even Hvide Sande  has provided boardshort.-only conditions..

Summerfun

Sorry for the inconsistency of posts during the last few weeks. It has not been due to lack of action but due to me beeing away with the family without any stable internet connection.
THis summer has been the warmest, most sunny that I can think of , a big contrast to last years windy-rainy summer.
There has'nt been a lot of wind, but an occasional wave here and there.
Here are a few shots for a session in Hvide sande.
The day started out pretty windy and ended with a beautifull sunset and nice waves.

The lifeguard put up this sign , none of the surfers seemed to notice

Lars is allways out there..

Windblown waves

All kinds of fun to be had

Mister norden-surfboards: Andi Wirtz

Allways good style

 In the evening the conditions got gradually better.. here a few shots of yours truly..

I spend the nigth at my friend Lars' house and went for dawn session the next day, more on that later..

Windy Hanstholm

I got a few pictures from a windy weekend i Hanstholm.
While I was enjoying sun and weissbier in southern Germany, the guys were having a ball in good old Hanstholm, sure looks like fun...

Mads Bjørnå killing it !

Lars looking good

Nice upwind 360

Summer freestyle

Just watched this sweet little freestyle clip from one of my local spots. Perfect summerfun by Danish Freestyle champion Rasmus Rahbek Oegelund 

New Board

I  got an offer for my orange 12'6 Tabou race board that I simply could not resist. . Allthough I really liked the psycedelic pumpkin I could not resist trying out something new.
With  the Strokes event coming up I was forced to buy something new in a hurry. Seccond hand sup/race boards are really hard to get your hands on in little Denmark. So I ended up buying something a little more practical than sexy. With the help of Folke's Surfshop I was able to get my hands on a 14 foot NSP race/touring board.

I already had a few sessions on the board and I must say I really like it, it has a lot of glide and does well even in bigger chop..

A little look back.

We have had pretty awesome conditions during this spring . I spend a little time looking through some of the photo and vide material I had lying around on my computer..

Frist a little strobbr




An second a short video:

Family fun

The other day I had the oppurtunity to take the whole family for a little SUP session. The sun was out and the water in local harbour is allways quite. I took my son , aged 7, and my mother-in-law for a little cruise and allthough it was their first time out, they did  absolutely great. In the end I even took my 2-year old daugther for a little spin. My wife wasn't so convinced of my great idea to start with but in the end we all ended out having great fun..

Watch out Casper Stenfath ;-)

Westcoast Wind

Another weekend has passed and this weekend has been   especially windy. Lots of wind at the danish westcoast. Hanstholm was going off . Here a few pics.

Fellow blogger Oliver Maier also captured some of the action

 Be sure to visit his site: www.olivermaier.com

The Swedish surfers also had their share of the action.



Those Firewire boards look like a lot of fun
