Rock & Refsnes

Kilen in action

Peter tries a aerial on the inside section

Lone surfer at Point Perfect. Just downwind for the windsurfers.

More good days here on the west coast lately. the pictures are from Refsnes on Saturday. showed up early afternoon,and the wind looked funky,but the swell was up at Point Perfect. paddled out and had a fun session. its a good spot for my level. easy take off even when it has some size. a little bit flat as well,making it ideal for longboards. after a while i figured it would be nice to try some windsurfing. went out as the wind relly kicked in. Gusty 10-35 + knots of side off wind is a bit of a struggle.. however th waves were small so no problems with wipe outs. sailed as long as my weary arms could handle. got a couple of multiple turns waves out of it. all in all a good day !

Big day @ X !

Peter does a aerial over Kilen. Acording to Peter K dropped in on his wave ;)

Dag is not afraid of heights..

Nice shoulder on this one !

Hansi in the pocket !

Scored a bigger day at X on friday. 4.7/5.3 and solid overhead in the best sets. sideshore and later in the evening side off ! Really cool that we get these bigger days once in a while ! this spot actually reminds me a bit of Maui. Raw powerfull waves that really jack up on the main peak. if you mess up breakage,swimming or injuries might occur ;) got some solid tumbles in the washing machine.. Sondre actually dislocated his shoulder ! as usual i got a bit defensive, could have charged more. also had bad timing. its kind of difficult to judge the waves here. well next time maybe everything comes together. at least i survived the wipe outs hope i remember that next time its big ;)

West coast weekend

Nice Conditions at Kvasheim pointbreak.Unfortunlately the wind dropped shortly after i sailed out should have been there a couple of hours earlier.. First time i sailed here,wont be the last though !

Kitesurfer going in deep..

Peter in a textbook aerial !

Frank on a nice one. friday afternoon 25-4o knots sideshore. some logo sets and heavy rain. typical norwegian wavesailing weather !

Been a decent start to the our main season,autumn, here in Norwaii. at least if you own a surfboard as well. been out most days in September so far. actually feels good with a couple of days of water now. back and neck is hurtin from all the paddlin.. seems like there is a high quality swell coming in the weekend ! hopefully there will be som wind as well before it gets too cold here.

Peniche,Portugal

High Performance surfing, with sunset over the cliff in Peniche

Traveling buddy tor-Erik going DTL

baleal by night. peniche town in the background !

Indulging in some Serrano ham ! from this balcony we could check most of the spots in Baleal !

Sunset surf !

Tor-Erik waxing up his new Superfish !

Just got back from a 6 days trip to Peniche portugal ! as usual consistent conditions ! not much beats portugal when it comes to summer surf in Europe ( and windsurf). Huge atlantic coastline with the nice ocean smell in the air ! just fly in to Lisboa,pick up a cheap rental and hit the surf ! definitively not my last trip there. This was my third actually.

Quality summer swell !

Is it legit or a drop in ?

Nice Lines all day !

Nice inside section here.

Incoming set...

Of course all norwegian waves are A frames ;)

This shady bunch of cows tried to cut of my retreat to the car. had to make a quick sprint and jump over an electric fence that at this moment is the only thing between me and certain death..

Norwaiis gold coast just got hit by a high quality swell with a 5 feet 14 sec peak yeasterday. this is a bit uncommon in summer but higly welcomed of course. a bad arm kept me out of the water but today i chansed it and went out. actually the swell was quite solid today as well ! hope my arm heals fast as there seems to be plenty action this summer and autumn with its deep lows are approaching fast !

Kitesurfin da waves,Norwaii

Oskar sprays !

If these photos were taken 30 mins later the light would have been even better ! just love the saturated warm colors and pinkish hue we get in the evenings ! should pay more attention to the light in my photos.

Tor Erik is lining up with a bigger set ! He is one of the kitesurfing pioneers in Norwaii. he is extremely picky with he conditions and basically only kites when its sunny and waves ;) still he somethings left in his muscle memory ;)

Martin "strapless surfy style" !

These pictures are from 19.06. when all the windsurfers had left Sele 3 of my kitesurfing buddies showed up. they went out with their 8 meters and ripped the waves. it might not look like it from the photos but a lot of people were a bit let down by the wind especially. those that chose to go out further south actually scored logo high 4.7.. a bit bummed i missed out on that,but still it was a nice day out at the beach !

Anyhow im considering taking up light wind kiting now. i have a 6.7 shortboard that i might be able to mount straps on and use as a kiteboard. some of the wave oriented kiters actually use more or less stock surf shortboards. will look a bit into this. anyway i can use the kite in winter on snow.
