Surf trip to Portugal – Ericera and Peniche

Posted on 2015/10/092016/11/08by admin

In the en off September me, Adam , Andreas and three other broes left the fall in Sweden for some warmer weather and better waves down in Portugal.
After some forgotten passports we were finally on the direct flight from Gothenburg to Lisaboa. We arrived late afternoon and finally got our boards and picked up our car.

We had rented a apartment in Ericera with a awesome view of the town, and we could see about three or fore different surf spots from the balcony.

The first couple of days we surfed at the beachbreak Foz Do Lizandro ten minutes south from Ericera. It was a decent beach break, a lot of people out in the water. Thes best thing about this break was probably the view from the restaurant where we had after surf food and beer!

After trying out some of the waves down in Ericera we wanted to try out some spots around the Peniche area. Most of the places we looked at didn´t work at all, but we finally found a nice little wave.

So we surfed this spot a couple of days both sunrise, day and sunset. And it worked good!

Epic view from the roof of the building!

That´s it for now.

Summer surfing at Sikhall – Epic wind

Posted on 2015/07/192016/11/07by admin

The last couple of weeks have been good. During the summer it can go weeks between the surf, but the last week been so good so we have been in the water three times three different days. The last week we surfed Vassbotten twice but last Saturday Lars and I went up to Sikhall and we scored big time. We both brought sails that was way to big for the wind but since we didn´t bring any other sails we had to suit up and go for it anyway. Good for us the wind was strong and consistence!

Next week hopefully bring us a solid n swell with winds strong enough to create some waves at Vänern again. Time to get some new and smaller sails so we ca hit the big lake 😉

The Resano Surfing Family from Popoyo Nicaragua

Posted on 2015/04/022015/04/02by 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!

Have a look at Manuels Youtube Channel HERE

Back in town

Posted on 2014/10/282014/10/28by admin

After a couple of good days up in Hoddevika Andreas and I said goodbye to all the old and new friends we had meet. Twelve hours later I was home, another six hours I was at work… Life feels weird some times.
A couple of hours in to work earlier today Lars called me and asked if I couldn´t get of earlier since the wind looked really good and the sun started to come out. I just got back home from a surf trip but why not get some more surf at the lake. I am glad I got the afternoon of since the surf was probably one of my best at Vänern. We surfed until sunset and now I am trying to figure out which Alt-J song I should use to the recordings.

Hoddevika day 3 – Storm

Posted on 2014/10/26by 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 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
