Vassbotten, Vänern – Four Seasons

Once again it´s been some time since I last posted. Just want to post this short Vassbotten – Four season video. All the recordings are from the small inner lake of Vänern where I live. This is what we do at our free time. Hopefully there will be some more Wakesurf and Windsurf movies later this summer. The recordings shows Vassbotten in all different seasons, and this is some of the things you could do here

Things we don’t see at the gym

Training is good! Chilling in my couch with tiered shoulders, back, and legs. I have been skiing about 25 km this weekend and I think that the average time have been decent. Yesterday at Hunneberg and today at the Skihut. To get more upper body training I have been working more and more on my poling. Two times the last week I have been passed by two older guys that have told be that poling is the the secrete if you want to go fast and that I am poling like a pussy right now 😉
The tracks starting to run out of snow at some places, so we hopefully have some more snow tomorrow if the forecast is correct.

Well this is a photo of what we can get if we start to train more outside 🙂

Cross country skiing at Hunneberg, Vänersborg – Go Pro view

Today I did my cross country skiing debut this winter. Lars and I skied about 10 km of mostly untouched tracks. Tomorrow Ill probably ski again since we never know
for how long the snow is going to last. So my plane is to keep skiing as much as I can for now on.
Luckily the forecast predicts it going to stay cold for a while, so we are hopefully able to do some long distance skating and some ice surfing the next couple of days.

Windsurfing at Skaven, Vänern

It´s been a while ago since I posted anything. Actually I havn´t been updating the blog since the last day of the Central America trip. Well I havn´t been surfing any waves since, but I was paddling a lot during the summer, and now during the fall I have been windsurfing a lot. I finally starting to get the grip of windsurfing. Me and Lasse have spent a couples of days out each week. Here is some snaps a couple a weeks ago. The last good days before the real fall hit us. Tomorrow is going to be a epic storm. Don´t know if we are going to be able to surf or not. Ill guess we find out.

Last days on the Central America surf trip – Surfing San Diego

Today is the last day of the trip all the bags are packed, the board I rapped in bubble plastic and we are ready to go. We are going to driveng up to Ryan’s mom tonight and spend the night there and then she be driving us to the airport from there. The flight departs at 3pm.

We didn´t want to finish the trip without scoring some good waves here in San Diego, so we did a last desperate surf yesterday and we scored big time.

We went to a super localized spot were all the older people thought that the wave belonged to theme. A lot of trash talk from them, but that didn´t stop us….

Thanks Erica for taking all the photos during this trip!!!

Surfing and skimboarding in Laguna

When we were up in Santa Barbara we went back to all the spots we used to go to; Mesa Ln, super Cucas, our old house, Ledbetter and so on. One day Andie brought us to a place just outside Santa Barbara up in the mountains. It was a fresh water spring with a lot of cool rock that we could climb and jump from. It was awesome to be back in SB and I miss it a lot but I also realized how much things I done since I was there studying.

After spending three days up in Santa Barbara Erica Ryan and I drove down the coast. We stopped and meet up with Spencer in Laguna, Ryan´s and my old roommate. We had lunch with Spencer and then drove down to a beach just south from there. Ryan went out surfing and Spencer went skim boarding. Erica and I stayed on the beach and snapped some photos instead.
BTW this is going to be a photo bomb this time 😉

Back in Santa Barbara

After a long day a crossing the border from Tijuana to San Diego Ryan finally picked us in San Diego. We dropped of our things and went surfing the first thing. The waves wasn’t perfect but it felt good being back in the water again. I hadn´t surfed since main land Mexico. After that we spent a couple of days in San Diego just chilling at the beach meanwhile Ryan was working and hanging out with his dad at night.

Ryan’s girlfriend Andy still lives up in Santa Barbara so when he got some days of worked we did a little trip up there. Ill post some more photos from that trip soon. This photo is from one of the sunset sessions we had up there.

Photos of night sky and milky way in Baja California, Mexico

A couple days ago we left the pacific side for at short trip over to a last stop at sea of Cortez. We went to a place a couple of hour south from San Felipe. We drove on a road were Baja 1000 takes place. It´s a pretty dry out there. Erica and I thought that we would stay in a smaller village. When we showed up it turned out to be a campground on a beach with a couple of cabins.
The restaurant was closed but Dylan had some rice and beans that we cooked in the back of his truck. After the sunset we had a couple of Cuba Libres. Dylan told me about shooting at night and how he had done that the last time he was there, it wasn´t hard to talk me into a night session. The tripods came out and this is the result:

What you see in the forth photo is the milky way. The milky way is our galaxy and what you can see in the photo is the spiral of hour galaxy that can only been seen when its very dark. It also helps to leave the shutter open for a long time. The camera will then pick up lights from stars that we cant see with our own eyes.

Tomorrow we leaving Mexico behind us for San Diego
