This is why I can´t surf

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

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

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 😉

New surfing exercises with TRX bands and balance ball

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.

Woodman

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.

Tomorrow is a big day for my camera set up. I have finally bought a normal zoom lense. It is a Canon EF 24-105/4L IS USM and I am getting it tomorrow 🙂 Keep tuned and in the next post I am going to show the lenses that I am planing to bring on Ericas and my trip to Central America.

Back at the Canaries

After a long travel day Lars and I finally arrived to our hotel on Gran Canary. We are staying at the same place as we did last time, but a different hotel. Since the well looked super good ( north east) we decided to head up north. We went do check out Las Palmas. It was messy but we went out any way. After like 15 minutes of just paddling we went back in. Instead of keep surfing Las Palmas we went a bit east on the same shore. It still looked bad so we sat back into the car and went for the east coast, playa Aldea. In the end it turned out to be a good choice. It delivered as it did a year and a half ago 😉

Some pic from Hossegor and Biarritz

Sitter nu hemma i Vänersborg och redigerar lite film från resan. Har bestämt mig att detta blir nog sista gången det närmsta åren jag drar tillbaka till Vänersborg. Efter några riktigt bra dagar nere i Spanien och Frankrike så kände jag att det är ju där jag borde vara. Är mycket planer i huvudet nu och jag vet ju hur jag är, men det känns ju allt vättiga nu.

Jag har iaf bokat flyget till USA nu. Den 18e augusti bär det av mot Santa Barbara igen. Inte många dagar kvar. Om jag hade orkat hade jag räknat. Men det gör jag inte. Har även ett rikitgt nice hus pågång där med. Vi få hoppas att vi får det. Det kommer bli ett ruggit bra år och planerna där efter är ju inte kass det heller. Men det tar vi senare…
