A afternoon in Santa Teresa

Posted on by admin

Now when we spent a couple of days in Santa Teresa everything starts to become everyday. Every morning we wake up at about 6 or 7 am. We cruise down to the beach, Erica takes a morning walk and I’ll go surfing. After that we head back to the hostel for some breakfast. It couldn’t be a better start of the day. After that he rest of the day is just beach time and surfing if the waves are still good. Yesterday afternoon I brought the camera for the sunset and this is we captured.

Santa Teresa – The start

Posted on by admin

After many hours of traveling Erica and I finally got to Costa Rica. Everything we have planed have worked so far, even though we were very close to miss hour flight in New York.
We spent the night in San José after 26 hours of traveling. The next morning we were picked at the hotel and went with shuttle the last couple of hours. The pictures you see is from the ferry to tambor, my new board and the first surf 🙂

This is why I can´t surf

Posted on by admin

Every morning when I wake up, I look out my kitchen window to see how the lake looks like. This time a year the sun rises behind the mountain about 7 AM. Last night it was about minus 10 Celsius and when i looked out the window this morning it looked like the lake was on fire

The movie from Mr Black island

Posted on by admin

When Johan and I went to Mr Black island earlier this year, we had decided to record that trip from the begging to the end. As always I thought I had more batteries than I really had. So when we got to the island the batteries died and that´s the end of the movie so far. I am planning to edit the clip a bit more when I am getting some new material, but this is what i got so far

Two waves under a minute

Posted on by admin

I looked trough some of my old videos from Gran Canaria. I found this clip that Lars recorded from the beach and I recorded from the water. Its not the best two waves, but when I looked at the time saw that I caught them during one minute. Not in the movie though since I am playing in slow motion. For a Swedish surfer catching two waves in one minute is quite rare. So when it happens it deserved
it´s own video 😉

Driftwood

Posted on by admin

A couple of summers ago me and my family went to Spain and France in the summer. I wrote a post about a driftwood (HERE) and how I didn´t want to bring it home to Sweden. When we went surfing in Norway past fall i found a driftwood once again.
Andreas, Lars and I were crusing around on the beach after the surf waiting on the sunset. Just before the sunset I found this magnificent peace of driftwood calling out my name. This time a couldn´t let the peace of driftwood just lay there alone on the beach. So i brought it back home.

For you guys who don´t speak Norwegian, it says; “beach people”.

New surfing exercises with TRX bands and balance ball

Posted on by admin

Once again I brought the camera to the gym to show some more of the exercises that I am doing at the moment. From now on I changed my training. Its only going to be balance, my own body weight and swimming.
The last month I have lost about 3 kg , and I am now at 81 kg. My goal a week ago was to be bellow 80, but after my weigh in that last week I realized that I could aim for at least 78. Why I am trying to lose weight is not because I think that I am fat ore something like that. It´s because I want to be as light as possible which will make it easier to catch waves.

Good weekend

Posted on by admin

Its been a good weekend so far. Lars and I did some cross-country skiin Friday afternoon. Later on Johan meet up at Lars house and we decided to have a sauna. When we were done there Johan showed us that he brought a bottle of Morgan. After a while we were out of ice but managed to fix that the Swedish way. The night ended with a 1 a clock air rifle contest human target style.

Next morning up at nine a clock and of for some more more cross-country skiing with Erica this time.
Now its time for conditioning training at the gym to finish of the weekend. Next week I am getting a clip card at the swimming facility next to my gym. Its going to be swimming and underwater training from now on until the trip. Hopefully its going to be some more posts from the gym next week. After watching chasing Mavericks yesterday I got even more motivated do get in better shape. Strongly recommend that movie.

Me and my brother Alex went up to the mountain yesterday. I brought the camera and the new 24-105 lens to try it out. It was snowy, windy and cold, so i kept my gloves on most of the time. I did managed to take some photos before we made the fire and the battery went out. We went to this place named Grinnsjön and planed to BBQ some hot dogs there. Since it has unlimited supply of dry wood we thought it would be a easy thing. It wasn´t. I took us about one hour to light it up, and I can a sure you it wasn´t a Costa Rica bonfire we made.
