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.

Surfing exercise

Posted on by admin

It´s about two months until Erica and I leaving Sweden for three months of warm water surfing. To don´t waste any time there, I am trying to get in the best shape I possible can. Until the ice melts I spend about five days a week at the gym trying to do exercises similar surfing moves, or exercises that I hope will approve my surfing.

In the clip below I am showing some exercises that I have been doing the last couple of months. I have set a couple of goals. I want to lose about three kilograms before the trip. If I do so I am going to weigh under 80 kg which I think will be good for my surfing. I also want to build long muscles that will actually help my surfing instead of just gym muscles. Hopefully there will be some more videos under the new category Training.

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.

Got the tickets

Posted on by admin

Its been a while since I surfed last time. About three months to be exact! There ara many reasons why. Mostly because of school and work but also because of the cold winter the last two months. But there is one more reason…. I have bee saving for this:

biljetter

The trip is going to start on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, and end somewhere in California three months later. Our plan is to take the bus all the way through Central America along the coastline. Roughly like the map below.

Travel plans

A couple of months ago I started to work out for the trip, to assure that I would be in great shape when Erica and I arrive there. Most of the posts the next two months before the trip are going to be about me getting in “surf shape” and what preparations that are necessary before a trip like this. So stay tuned. I will try to keep the blog updated as often as I can

Mr Blacks island

Posted on by admin

Past summer I did some posts when Johan and I went SUP:ing. A couple of times we went this island that we call Mr Blacks island. It is a small island just outside Vänersborg. About 40 years or so it lived an old erimit there. He had a house, a tractor and small bridge who toke him over a small man-made channel. Today Mr Black is dead since many years. The bridge is gone and we couldn’t find the tractor on is Island. Since we didn’t explored that much of the island past summer we decided to do a trip once again.

The only problem with our trip was that most parts of Vänern outside Vänersborg are frozen these days. So we had to put the boards on the quatro and bring them closer to the island were the water is moving a bit more and keeps it from freezing. As all the the swedes know it has been super cold the last couple of days. I think it was about -10 C when we started to paddle out there. When we after five minutes got to the other side the gloves were all icy and the surface on the boards was cover with ice as well. We then made a short walk around the island to find the best campsite. As we had expected it was a small cape with old oaks hanging down in the water that we had looked at some months earlier. We made a small fire and had some hot dogs. When we were about to leave some fog came in over the water and at the same time the sun came out below the clouds and it was just magic.
