Sideshore at Sele !






Erik throws a forward !



Erik is usually seen lurking around the point hunting waves with his evo 62 and 3.7. I was on a 5.3 today.. eriks biggest sail is a 4.7 !






Sondre is a competent sailor. He always goes big ! he does competetive racing as well




Sele gave us the usual mix of quite strong winds and small waves today. i went from underpowered to fully powered on my 5.3. I was out with my new (used) Goya 90 L 08 today. i have used the board for a couple of sessions on im quite pleased. it has a tad more float than my old 85L which helps in slow transitions and schlogging. it gets on the plane fast and feels a bit faster and lively than my stolen Da Curve 85 06. often here the waves are small and you have to use the wind and boardspeed to get some speed in the turns. i try to approach the waves going downwind with speed on these smaller days. i had some problems with railtripping doing so today, but im not sure if its the boards fault though __;)
anyway i hope it will be a good solutions a my big wave board. will use this board for travelling to DTL spots as Maui/chile. Hopefully it will hit Hawaiian waters this November !

Thanks :) I tend to point the lens at,and publish the best pictures of the best sailors.. The level at the beach here is good,but not better than most other popular windsurfing spots. The area i sail attract some good sailors because of the waves and the usually good angle of the wind.
