BigSunday called off

The forecast was looking really good, 12 m/s from W starting Saturday night and continuing all night and all Sunday with ground swell of 1.5-2 m from NW peaking at noon. Well thats not exactly what we got... everything was dead flat until noon when knee high waves was showing up. At 15 pm we went out and waves was waist high and the biggest set delivered shoulder high.

Thanks to Andreas for shooting some nice action pics.

Baltic Gold

Well to use some of the regular expressions for days like this one. It was epic, the spot was firing, it was going off.



Think the photo speaks for it self!!!

I have never seen conditions like this near Denmark. It was just like in Indo.

We went over there Saturday night and had a nice session before dark. Nothing big but clean and fun. Sunday morning the conditions was quite similar. The waves was bigger and the wind shifted between dead to direct offshore. In early morning the waves was still only shoulder to head-high thus rising throughout the morning. At noon the spot was firing with super clean overhead-high waves. The offshore wind and relatively low water level produced some amazing barrels. And once again the crowd counted 6 surfers at most, sweet!

What a day! Still hear the thundering barrels when I go to sleep, and that's not nightmare ;)

Hornbæk lite

A basic, non frilled, day with 1-2 m waves. We had hoped for an epic day as the forecast was really good. The day before we had the first real winter storm it produced 20-24 m/s from NW with 3-4 m waves. Missed that day :(

The waves was a little messy and the current was exceptionally strong

Pic of the day

Fustration...

After 3 hours in the pool we were done, no more energy and the shoulders was beaten. After all a good day on the water, as always ;)

Mysterious Sweden

For a long time I have heard stories and seen pictures of glassy peeling waves in Sweden and at last I got to surf it myself.

In respect to the local surfers and others who frequent surf the spot I will not reveal its position as it's already tending to be crowded.

The conditions where not really good when we arrived. From others we heard that there had been some good waves in the morning. When we got there the waves was 1-1.5 m with small infrequent sets. All pictures are taken from this time.

After a cop of coffee we went into the water and got some nice ones and luckily the swell got bigger and the biggest was about 2+ m.

Pressure Taken

On December the 29. the forecast was saying 13-15 m/s from S-SV with both an air and water temperature of 4-5 degree Celsius. I think this is my record of late winter surfing as I never really has been into this viking thing. In Denmark the best windsurfing and surfing conditions are in the winter and armed with a 6 mm hooded wetsuite I have decided to continue surfing and windsurfing all year. And to be honest it's only cold when changing into and out off the wetsuite but that is also freaking cold...


This Saturday afternoon in Lynæs was just what I needed. We where only a couple of windsurfers but I think we all got what we came for. To have the pressure taken after some time without any wind. Speaking for myself, I haven't been on the water since Fuerteventura and that is over an month ago. Now I'm just looking forward to some serious wavesailing.

Happy New Year

The 17. of December I got this little wonder of a boy



Be aware, soon there will be a new charger in the lineup.

Happy new year to everybody

From Anton, Ann-Sophie and René

Thanks to: Jesper & Ann-Sophie for the cool shirt, Mathilde & Cedric for the Ugg boots, and Mads-Emil for the trousers.

Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is one of the Canary Islands, situated in the Atlantic ocean off the coast of Africa. It is the second largest and I think the least touristed, a lovely place with heaps of good surf.


November the 19. my girlfriend, surfboard, and I went to Fuerteventura for one week. It was one of these package solutions where everything was included. Flight, bus to the hotel, and guides to assist if there was any problems. All week we had ok conditions, often there was either cloudy in the morning or in the afternoon and the air temperature was between 23 - 26 degree Celsius. Well first thing first, we rented a car and got the "Wannasurf spotguide" lined up with a map of the island.


Playa de Esquinzo
First surf spot was Playa de Esquinzo, a beach break on the west coast, a little south of El Cotillo. From what I could read in Wannasurf this sounded like the perfect warm up spot.


When we got there a southern wind was hauling and the waves was massive, a least compared to what I'm use to. A consistent swell on 2-3 m was rolling in and it often closed out quite fast. Not just the conditions I had hoped for, for a warm up. Anyway Sophie was giving me the "you 're are kidding me" look so I knew time was running short. I ended up having a nice session riding some of the biggest waves ever, even without any serious wipeouts.


Next day the wind had dropped totally and the sun was shining from a deep blue sky. After the successful session the day before I was hungry after more bigwave surfing ;) So we went back to Esquinzo and this time Sophie gave me the thumb up. We nearly had the beach all to ourself. It was just beautiful.


The waves was same size as the day before, if not a little bigger and more glassy.


I think this is the best suf pic from the trip, taken by Sophie, it captures both the epic conditions and the expression of deep deep concentration. Lovely... thanks Sophie.

And naturally I also took some nasty wipeouts. Sophie caught this one, which was a gentle one.


Rocky Point
After the first two days at Esquinzo the swell was getting bigger and the wind was shifting into NV and increasing. Instead of going back to Esquinzo I went out to Rocky Point, a spot just outside of Correlejo. A nice and really forgiving wave breaking on a lava reef. I spent two days out there and got a lot of good long rides. No action pics as Sophie was enjoying the sunbeds at the hotel pool and I was too busy surfing.


This is Correlejo with rocky point in the background to the left. The small wave in front is Punta Elena reef just in front of our hotel.

The next few days the NW wind was picking up and even Rocky Point was getting blown out and the east coast was some decent swell.


Punta Elena
At high tide Punta Elena offered some small fun waves. Usually I spent the afternoon out there. It was sometimes really shallow, like 30-50 cm but the waves was not at all powerful.





All put together Fuerteventura is a really nice place with heaps of good surf. Definitely a place I will recommend.

Langebro going off

Swell, Sunshine, and no crowd what more can you ask for. This was my first time surfing this spot and I'm totally stoked. We got long clean rides of up to 150 m.


At sunrise the wind was hauling but within a hour it dropped rapidly and we was left with long clean sets of 1.5-2 m.


After a few hours the wind had dropped totally and the waves got nice and glassy... nam-nam

Not to speak of the peelers offering some amazing rides.

Rider: Anders Krygell

What a day.... Give us some more of them!!!
