Great Day

A great Saturday with wind-waves and sun. No wind early on in the day, but by afternonn the wind was howling and Hvide Sande was on fire.
I haven't seen windsurf conditions like this for quite a while.
I will try and give you a quick walk through.
Lots of kiters out, a few windsurfers and a few prone surfers .
All of us enjoying the relative mild end of november conditions
The calender says winter but it doesn't really fell like it
It was a little hard getting good footage, standing on the new pier and shooting the windsurfers and Kiters in the Beachbreak you will be looking straight in to the sun.
But some times you get rewarded.

I really like the light (and the action ) in this photo


A few kite shots

Tricky light

A few surfers enjoyed the  windblown  conditions in betweens

Unfortunately i had some issues with my camera and i had a lot of blurred shots

Waterz part 1

This weekend the annual Waterz event was held in Hvide Sande.
 The event host just about any watersport activity you can think of. The danish race scene crown their slalom champion here, the freestyle tour stops by as well. There is a kite contest, a SUP -race, wake-boarding and even Tonky Franz was there to add a little caribbian flavour and some stardust. The hightlight of the event is without a doubt the Longdistance race with more than 200 windsurfers and 100 kiters going downwind.
I participated in the SUP-race, my first SUp race ever , as you migth know I just recently got my hands on a race sup.
The race event was held friday afternoon in the fjord. I was there early and the waves at the ocean side were cranking so I took out the wave SUP for two hours before going racing..
The racing was held at the event headquarter at the fjord and the course was about 3 km, and conditions were pretty challeging due to a strong blowing wind. The last 1,5 km were staigth onto the wind.
 25 participants went flying into water as soon as the signal was given.
The event was won by Morten Lander, who has won quite a few events this year, second position was taken by an on-fire Sebastian Kornum. I ended up in fifth position.
I was amazed how hard it actually was, my shoulders were on fire..
Sebastian Kornum was quite impressive as well, last week he was in the SUP -wave contest, this week competting, in slalom, formula, long distance and SUP
After the race I decided to take another couple of hours in the waves.. When the sunset I was really feeling my body.
Here some pics from friday...
