Surfing in Hoddevika day 1

Posted on 2014/10/252014/11/02by admin

Andreas and I got a message from my friend who is working at the surf hostel Stad Surfing in Hoddevika. They told us that a good swell were kicking in this weekend so we decided to check it out. After a car breakdown in the beginning of the trip we were finally on the road with a new car 3 hours later than expected. Finally there we got two surfs sessions the first day. During the sunset a guy staying at the hostel snapped some photos from the beach. I asked him if I could have them so that’s way I am able to make this post.

The swell is picking up right now and Andreas and I are ready for the second surf today. Tomorrow is supposed to be big.. could be interesting 🙂

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

Posted on 2013/07/012014/11/02by admin

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!!!

See you guys in Sweden!!

Surfing and skimboarding in Laguna

Posted on 2013/06/302016/11/08by admin

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 😉

At the moment we are down in San Diego agian and Ryan and I hade a booomb surf session this morning. Photos will be here the next couple of days…

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

Posted on 2013/06/202014/11/02by admin

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

Back on the westcoast

Posted on 2013/06/16by admin

After spending a couple of perfect days in La Paz Erica, Dylan and I headed north. If I didn´t mention we bumped in to Dylan at the ferry and decided to tag along to Loreto. After talking for a while it turned out that we were going to the same places and had about the same amount of time doing it. Instead of traveling together only to Loreto the new plan is to travel together all the way to Ensenadas.

We spent the night in Loreto and had breakfast with when of Dylan´s friends he met on the way down here. We hit the road again, but only drove for about one hour before we found this beautiful beach with now people and warm water. After one hour or so at the beach it was time to start putting some km behind us.

We drove through mountains, dessert and a fog dessert the stretched for hours. Finally we showed up on the pacific side again at a place called Bahia Asuncion. We staying at a place called Bufdor Inn which is owned by a Canadian called Shari.
That’s it for now and hopefully there will be some waves here tomorrow ….

Tonight we are going to try out some Mexican microbrewery beer. Later

Surf Point Break in Zihuatanejo, Mexico

Posted on 2013/06/092014/11/02by admin

From Puerto Escondido Erica and I travelled four hours north to place called Ixtapa. We found out that Ixtapa is more like a resort town and we had some hard time finding a reasonable priced hotel. After a while we ended up paying 400 pesos a night. We spent my 26th birthday on Isla the Ixtapa. Erica hand planned everything and the snorkeling there was amazing.

After a couple of days a big swell hit the whole coast and all the beaches were closing out. After studying the map and forecast I found a place that might work on that kind of swell and boy it did. This is just a couple of photos from there. The movie will be up in a day or so.

Later tonight we going to jump on a 16 hour buss to Mazatlan. We going to spend one night there before catching the ferry over to Baja California and La Paz.

Puerto Escondido

Posted on 2013/05/302013/05/30by admin

Finally we arrived to Puerto Escondido even though the buss from Tapachula ended up taking 12 hours instead of 8. We got here at noon, and then spent the rest of the day waling around to get to now the place a bit. The next day we figured out what beaches that had any waves and then walked to one of the smaller once since the main beach “aka” Mexican Pipline were suppose to be huge. We got the a beach called Carizarillo. It is probably one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches I ever seen. Especially after all the dirty and almost black beaches in Guatemala. To bad the waves wasn´t as good as the beach was clean. In the afternoon the wind picked up a lot since a smaller Hurricane hit south of here, and I didn´t go out at all. We can defiantly feel that it´s hurricane season now.

Tomorrow we are planning to wake up earlie and try out “La Punta” or the point down at Zicatela.

IN MEXICO!!!

Posted on 2013/05/27by admin

Erica and I spent a couple of days in Paredon. I only surfed twice there since the waves were kind of closing out. After that we went up to northern Guatemala, another small fishing village called Tilapa. On the way to Tilapa we passed through Doles and Chiquitas banana plantation. Endless fields of banana trees.
In Tilapa we stayed at the beach once again. Unfortunately the waves was even worse here and I didn´t go out at all, we still had some good days with a lot of tanning. I also got some time to get restarted with my old alwaysinwater project.
I snaped some photos of some driftwood covered in fishing net. Seems like it´s a lot of ghost net floating around there in the ocean…

At the moment we are sitting at a internet café in Tapachula. From here we going to catch a ten hour bus to Puerto Esondido. If the surf isn´t good there I don´t think there is any surfable waves anywhere 😉

Guatemala – Paredon

Posted on 2013/05/22by admin

After some more days of travelling and a night in Escuintla Erica and I finally arrive to Paredon a small fishing village in Guatemala. We are staying in a two floor bungalow with a perfect ocean view. The only thing we are waiting for now is the waves. Last night was a night off thunderstorms rain and wind, so the water is still a bit rough after that.
Well i guess I can´t complain since the surf actually starts to look better now 😉
