SurfEars

This looks like a really cool project, that I think you should support if you have the oppurtunity.
I still have a feeling of bad consciousness whenever I get into cold water and I feel the pain form cold water getting in your ear.
If you spend a lot of time in cold water , your risk of getting surfers ear ( the common name for an exostosis or abnormal bone growth within the ear canal).

Weekend recap

I know I am a little late for this, but a lot of stuff has been going on. Plenty of action over the weekend as well.
Friday was the previously mentioned Moonlight surf, it turned out a big success with a good crowd and some nice waves

Check out more shots here

There has been some windsurf action as well

Lars Petersen flying in to the sun

More here

Even I got to go for a very nice sunny session, in between eating birthdaycake with the family.

Dont mind the facialexpression - it was an epic session

Birthday Presents

Over the weekend I celebrated my birthday and I was lucky enough to score some cool gifts.
Here are a couple of nice gadgets that I think you should check out if you get the chance. They come highly recommended

Atan Surf-boots
I was lucky enough to score two pairs of theese. They without comparrison the best boots you will ever get your hans on ( If you ask me). Give yourself the chance to check them out the next time you shopping for surfboots.
I got the toasty warm 6.5 mm winter-version and the 3mm spring version

Reminds you a bit of a Fetich-party? - dont be fooled they rock

My daugther agrees -they rock

Took the 3 mm boots for a spin on sunday- great session no problems keeping warm. More on the session later

Order your next pair here


Kanu logs
If you like me drive a smaller car it can ease your mind that you are able to lock down your boards and reduce the risk of theft.
These steel-enforced straps look like the real del to me I will definitely put them to use during this seasons combined family-surf trips

Safety first

As I have grown older and after becoming a father I have been giving the safety aspekt of our sport more and more attention.
I have probably surfed for than 20 years without suffering any real injuries aside from bruises and scratches.
None the less I bought a helmet a few years ago to use while windsurfing in more extreme conditions.
The latest addition to my safety equipment is the  Restube
It is a small and Handy device that wont bother your performance on the water, it can be worn attached to your harness or camelback on longer sup runs
with one strong pull the floating body inflates and you  even have an integrated rescue whistle.
Watch the video to learn more.

 
 

I will definitely be wearing mine during this years sup-races including the ocean crossing Strokes

Denmark - the Flip side

while we all mostly look at tha danish westcoast for waves it looks as though there also a lot of potential in the baltic sea.
Lately a lot of pictures have come out from the island of Bornholm.
Check out Bornholm surf Farm for more pictures, here is a little appetiser.

 I am definitely considering it for my next family surftrip

Reuse it !

A super nice surf-video produced by the guys from Holmstrøm,  ideal for  saturday  mornings with good coffee before going for a surf your self

Christmas session

Last year the conditons around christmas were pretty epic and this year looks like more of the same. Waves almost everyday and really mild temperatures means that I really look forward to getting in the water around the hollidays. On thursy I had a really nice session in Fakir , a notorius break in the Cold Hawaii region know hos is rocky shore line.A break that is in danger with the planned expansion of the nearby harbor, read more

Here are few shots from the day, lots of people in water allthough its already end of December

Lars Petersen enjoying a  few nice rights

Karsten in the right spot

Christian on a nice sized wave

Even the Sun came out

More to come hopefully

Boardshorts only!

Its the colder darker time of year, and allthough the temperatures are stille quite nice up here we all long for summer conditions. The wind is blowing almost non-stop at the moment and the waves are on fire, but its pretty tricky getting out before it gets dark.

Hopefully there will be some action the coming days.

here a few shots from this summer in Hvide Sande.

Hvide Sande surf-shop-owner Henrik has decided to move his winter quaters to the Kap-Verde Islands

it look pretty sweet:
