The Resano Surfing Family from Popoyo Nicaragua

Posted on by admin

If you haven’t heard about the Resano family from Playa Popoyo Nicaragua its about time you look up some of there movies. The family live at Playa Popoyo in Nicaragua. The dad Manuel Resano is a hella good surfer, but the cool thing with the family is hes three daughters. The two older once are surfing bigger waves then I do and I am sure they all going pro one day.

I had the pleasure to surf with the dad and two of his daughters at the main break at Popoyo some years ago. Manuel pushed hes daughters into the biggest sets and it was epic to see. Later that week Erica and I was lucky enough to share a table with them at the loca pizza place. They are some cool young girls!

Windsurfing Vänersborg Sweden – Go pro at Oljehamnen

Posted on by admin

This past week I started working at my new job. This means a more interesting job, but also more freedom as I wrote in the last post. Me and Lasse my surf buddy who is the guy I developing Hapfind with, worked on Monday and a couple of hours the next day before it was time for the first lunch break surf session. We went to a place called Oljehamnen just outside Vänersborg. We have surfed there a couple of times before and the wind direction was pretty good.

Later on this past week we the wind picked up again and we where able to long board at another spot in Lake Vänern. Really good week!!

Hoddevika day 3 – Storm

Posted on by admin

Last night the storm hit Hoddevika. Andreas and I woke up at 2am when the whole house was shaking because of the strong winds. Apparently the storm was classed as a hurricane. So today we started the day with a morning walk out to the pier to check out the wave conditions. It is still a bit stormy to paddle out. Hopefully the storm will create some good sandbanks for later today or tomorrow morning before we leave.

Surfing in Hoddevika day 1

Posted on by 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 🙂

Vassbotten, Vänern – Four Seasons

Posted on by admin

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

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

Posted on by 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!!!

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

Posted on by 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 by 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 ….
