Forget about the missing wind. All the beaches on the northshore off Maui was closed for bouth surfing and windsurfing, except for one!!!! Peahi, aka JAWS. Tormod and I was up before the sun and enjoyed the sunrise at Jaws where there only was a couple off cars who had beaten us and got there before us. We had heard the waves thundering against the reefs and beaches all a'round the northshore during the night and it was hard to get a good nights sleep. The sight that apeared it self for us when the sun was rising at Jaws was avesome. The waves came thundering inn against the reef and rose to a wall off water. Pretty soon the first team off the tow inn surfers was seen bellow us an at about half past 6 in the morning the first surfer was riding on one off the gigant waves on jaws. When we left Jaws around 12 o'clock it was totaly caos in the canefields, there where cars everywhere and even if the last surfers had left the sceene there where still a line of spectators trying to get down to the cliff's for a look. Most people prefere to drive down the slippery dirtroads trough the canefields to get down to the cliffs where you can get a close look at the waves, it takes about 30-40 minuttes to walk from the highway and down so I guess you can't blame them. But next time get up in the morning so you don't miss the show.<br /><br /><table style="width:194px;"><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/MauiWeekIV?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TNJD4ZHuBdE/AAAAAAAAM2g/QU7yDOglYfA/s160-c/MauiWeekIV.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/MauiWeekIV?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Maui Week IV</a></td></tr></table><br /><br />During the first days after Jaws the north shores beaches was more or less off limits to windsurfers due to Highsurf advisory combined with light and very gusty wind. The rain is also pooring down som most off the time I have been surfing at Launiupoko beachpark just south off Lahania. To morrow its friday and it looks like we are going to have a great weekend with nice tradewinds, hughe waves and no rain. Could bee a realy nice weekend with a lot of windsurfing action on Kanaha and maybe Kuau and Ho'okipaSigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-2092546705630381212010-11-05T09:43:00.004+01:002010-11-05T09:53:39.118+01:00Maui 2010 week III<table style="width:194px;"><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/Maui2010WeekIII?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TMqYzCxGANE/AAAAAAAAMag/yL1wVOh5S7w/s160-c/Maui2010WeekIII.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/Maui2010WeekIII?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Maui 2010 Week III</a></td></tr></table><br />The third week on Maui was light on wind and light on waves I did some surfing on the other side of the island. The weeks big issue was offcourse Halloween witch took place on sunday 31st off october. Paia was a great place to be and the halloween custumes where incredible. It's just a shame the the weather was so bad that in was no pleasure to walk in the street taking pictures. But the king of the mascerade has to be the green freak for Oslo.

I sail a couple off days at Kuau and Kanaha while Tormod was grounded with a wound on his legg witch he received while sailing at Ho'okipa. When we had some time off we spent it on Ho'okipa taking pictures off the pros doing what they do best, ripping the waves. It was a realy cool thing to watch, and offcourse even the best ends up at the rocks. On one off the best days there Johs Angulo and Jason Polakow was standing out. Two days earlier when the waves where even bigger and the wind lighter we had the pleasure off watching the likes off Levi Siver, Fransisco Goya and Keith Taboule ripping . How they managed to get out trough the waves with hardly any wind is something I never can understand.</p><p></p><br /><br /><table style="width:194px;"><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/PartytimeHoOkipa?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TMKK4B9BuIE/AAAAAAAAMUU/znCjkD9YNfo/s160-c/PartytimeHoOkipa.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/PartytimeHoOkipa?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Partytime @ Ho'okipa</a></td></tr></table><br /><br /><table style="width:194px;"><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/BigDayHoOkipa?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TL_4-Jl-lAE/AAAAAAAAMIE/hm0oefvBAjI/s160-c/BigDayHoOkipa.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/BigDayHoOkipa?feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Big Day @ Ho'okipa</a></td></tr></table>Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-75158461863831813092010-10-30T11:35:00.003+02:002010-10-30T11:43:35.816+02:00Maui 2010<table style="WIDTH: 194px"><tbody><tr><td style="BACKGROUND: url(http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left 50%; HEIGHT: 194px" align="middle"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/SunsetInLaPerouse?feat=embedwebsite"><img style="MARGIN: 1px 0px 0px 4px" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TL1IYqk_fyE/AAAAAAAAMIA/QzbFp47ocfE/s160-c/SunsetInLaPerouse.jpg" width="160" height="160" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 11px"><a style="COLOR: #4d4d4d; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sigurd.klippenberg/SunsetInLaPerouse?feat=embedwebsite">Sunset In La Perouse</a></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Hello to all you bloggreaders, I'm currently on Maui and enjoying wind and waves , I'm affraid that updating this blogg will not be my highest priority during my five weeks here.

We had a great time sailing at Kanaha Beachpark at the start, but after a couple off days we moved up the coast and sailed at Kuau and Ho'okipa. The weather was great and the tradewinds also helped to make this a great week. The waves could have been bigger, but since we sailed a lot at Ho'okipa we where happy that they stopped at headhigh++, since we had no desire to end up on the rocks.Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-6175127692420577312010-10-13T23:51:00.001+02:002010-10-13T23:51:43.780+02:00Back on Maui againSigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-47369588853054621912010-09-19T23:25:00.005+02:002010-09-19T23:37:45.591+02:00Varberg september 2010<table style="WIDTH: 194px"><tbody><tr><td style="BACKGROUND: url(http://picasaweb.google.no/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left 50%; HEIGHT: 194px" align="middle"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/VarbergInSeptember2010?feat=embedwebsite"><img style="MARGIN: 1px 0px 0px 4px" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TJZ_AF1sTYE/AAAAAAAALwk/w68CfTN7G5s/s160-c/VarbergInSeptember2010.jpg" width="160" height="160" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 11px"><a style="COLOR: #4d4d4d; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/VarbergInSeptember2010?feat=embedwebsite">Varberg in september 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />At last something to write about, after a realy slow summer without much wind september looks like the month to save the season for us wind starving windsurfers. After a couple off good days at our local break Larkollen the forcast for this weekend looked realy god for the west coast of bouth Norway and Sweden. I endend up in Varberg, Sweden and had a great day on saturday. Sailing al day in Lejet where the was as good as it gets in Varberg. In the morning i used my 3,7m2, in the middel off the day the wind dropped and I used my 5,0m2. But the wind picked up again in the afternoon and I ended up sailing with my 4,4m2 before I packed up and went up to Apelviken where I took some pictures off some friends who was windsurfing into the sunset. On Sunday I got two hours with my 5,0m2 in Lejet before I went home to Oslo, a very satisfied and tired man.Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-81750165326659502782010-07-15T15:33:00.004+02:002010-07-15T15:50:22.797+02:00Las Palmas<table style="WIDTH: 194px"><tbody><tr><td style="BACKGROUND: url(http://picasaweb.google.no/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left 50%; HEIGHT: 194px" align="middle"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/LasPalmasGranCanaria?feat=embedwebsite"><img style="MARGIN: 1px 0px 0px 4px" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TD8J1bdeDKE/AAAAAAAALeg/ZjIBciw2EvM/s160-c/LasPalmasGranCanaria.jpg" width="160" height="160" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 11px"><a style="COLOR: #4d4d4d; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/LasPalmasGranCanaria?feat=embedwebsite">Las Palmas, Gran Canaria</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Took a short break from the strong winds at Pozo & Vargas and went up to Las Palmas. Here the temperature was just around 25 degrees celsius, almost 8 degrees colder than further down the coast. I walked around in the old part of the city where the buliding are built around the year 1500. I visited Catedral de Santa Ana witch they started to build in 1478 when the spanish had conquested Gran Canaria. I also was at Christopher Colombus' house, witch is just across the street from the Catedral. It's a great part of the Island and a nice quite break from the rest of the Island and nothing the usuall tourists who visits Gran Canaria would expect to find on their trip to the sun and sand on the south side off the Island.Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-23142476722965163322010-07-15T15:04:00.002+02:002010-07-15T15:13:12.062+02:00Gran Canaria 2010<table style="WIDTH: 194px"><tbody><tr><td style="BACKGROUND: url(http://picasaweb.google.no/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left 50%; HEIGHT: 194px" align="middle"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/GranCanaria2010?feat=embedwebsite"><img style="MARGIN: 1px 0px 0px 4px" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/TD79yffOf5E/AAAAAAAALXs/XWWH8YzUsjc/s160-c/GranCanaria2010.jpg" width="160" height="160" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 11px"><a style="COLOR: #4d4d4d; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/GranCanaria2010?feat=embedwebsite">Gran Canaria 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Just got home from a intense 5 days tripp Gran Canaria, sailed everyday with Goya Eclipse 4,4m2 or 4,1m2 and my 78 liter Goya Customwave singelfin & a lot of IBUX to stopp the fever and cold I got just before I left Norway. No matter what, I had a great stay and sailed 50/50 Pozo/Vargas. The best conditions I had at Vargas with great waves and a lot off sideshore conditions. I also had some great waves in Pozo but not as good as Vargas. Specialy at low tide and rising, I think the conditions are great in Vargas and if the swell is above 2 meter you realy get som nice waveriding.Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-78048548392113819132010-06-20T22:52:00.004+02:002010-06-20T23:11:28.713+02:00Sele ver.IIOnce again I headed vest to the promised land. 450 km each way is a long way and takes about 7 hours, but it's worth taking the trip once in a while. Friday turned out to be a classic day at Sele, I used my 4,4m2 and in the afternoon I changed to my 5,0m, the biggest waves where about 2,5 meter and it was perfect sideshore. Saturday was supposed to be even windier but I ended up using my 5,3m2 and my 95 liters Goya Custom wave the entier day on great 2,5 meters waves.

It's about time to bring out the realy great toys, I have a line of brand new Goya sails and one new board wich I'm dying to test at my local spot. I already had the pleasure of testing all the new Goya models when I was on Maui last october. I ended up ordering a new Goya Customwave singelfin 78 liter and a line of Goya Eclipse wavesails,(3,7-4,1-4,4-5,0-5,3m2). They all worked as a dream on all the different beaches on Maui, in all kinds of conditions, so my guess is that they will work great here in Norway as well. Then we just have to vait for some lowpreasure systems that delivers wind from the south and I off to the beach, maybee next weekend?Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-71175570178762468302010-02-13T21:10:00.004+01:002010-02-13T21:25:03.417+01:00Mylla - Sognsvann<table style="WIDTH: 194px"><tbody><tr><td style="BACKGROUND: url(http://picasaweb.google.no/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left 50%; HEIGHT: 194px" align="middle"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/MyllaOsloPaSki?feat=embedwebsite"><img style="MARGIN: 1px 0px 0px 4px" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/S3bjfGEyCrE/AAAAAAAAKxY/a1fJHuv4IiM/s160-c/MyllaOsloPaSki.jpg" width="160" height="160" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 11px"><a style="COLOR: #4d4d4d; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/MyllaOsloPaSki?feat=embedwebsite">Mylla - Oslo på ski</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Jørgen, Bjarte, Tor and my self took the train for Oslo to Grua saturday morning. From Grua we took a taxi up to the start for our journey south trough Nordmarka. The conditions was epic, the weather was even better with no clouds and no wind, the temperatur was between minus 5-10 celcius. So we had a fantastic journey with the sun shining in our faces all day long. And it was a long day, the tripp was about 48 km and after about five and a half hour we was back home at Sognsvann just as the sun had fallen behind the horisont and it was starting to get dark. Days like this is almost to good to be true, and for me it can absolutly be compared to a good day og windsurfing at Kanaha. And the best part of it is that we still got almost two months left before the snow melts down and the windsurfseason starts again in Oslo.<br />And to morrow the weather is supposed to be just the same, for those who like to go skiing. Skiing on a sunday in Nordmarka is even more crowded than a sunday with perfect conditions at Kanaha or JericoacoaraSigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-77341976530217300712009-12-26T19:31:00.004+01:002009-12-26T19:46:59.210+01:00The winter is here<table style="WIDTH: 194px"><tbody><tr><td style="BACKGROUND: url(http://picasaweb.google.no/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left 50%; HEIGHT: 194px" align="middle"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/NordmarkaVinteren2010?feat=embedwebsite"><img style="MARGIN: 1px 0px 0px 4px" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_q4FaPnq8wf8/SzZVYPmtwDE/AAAAAAAAKbo/uiPbBsgma2g/s160-c/NordmarkaVinteren2010.jpg" width="160" height="160" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 11px"><a style="COLOR: #4d4d4d; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://picasaweb.google.no/Sigurdwebalbum/NordmarkaVinteren2010?feat=embedwebsite">Nordmarka vinteren 2010</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Finally the winter is here, after almost two weeks with cold weather and no snow this x-mas looks like it's going to be one of the most snowy ever. It has been faling down so much snow that everything except the machines who makes the ski-tracks has stopped. Trains, busses and cars have all been almost impossible to use to day. Around my car it was about half a meter with fresh snow and there was no way I could get it out from the parking lot. So I had to start skiing just outside my own door. Instead of driving or taking the buss/subway to the forrest I ended up skiing for about 45 minuttes before I was out in the forrest. Once there it was a amazing trip with incredible conditions for crosscountryskiing and magic light to take pictures in. Hope the rest of the x-mas delivers the same conditions.Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-14207309270006698232009-10-31T11:30:00.006+01:002009-10-31T11:58:12.407+01:00Cruising around in LA<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHvIOqGDe869qMVvj_XeIFP3Aoiidvpdc9ye5jXM8zBeqdLAr_hJeNr2coraaG0wP2JMAdPzyLE21XpDyYTSyi7uVcIlM9QJltswkZj0exa0IFelSzr05h_XOJuSxkpTOAtqsLGFUltX0/s1600-h/IMG_7158.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398716072744016130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHvIOqGDe869qMVvj_XeIFP3Aoiidvpdc9ye5jXM8zBeqdLAr_hJeNr2coraaG0wP2JMAdPzyLE21XpDyYTSyi7uVcIlM9QJltswkZj0exa0IFelSzr05h_XOJuSxkpTOAtqsLGFUltX0/s320/IMG_7158.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_RUjrcc8sd03t1BHXAh3FtcZ3NBAabTzhpIX2HvS4mVfr1zvfchmleBsBWukuZMvB3iL0yrpcjcPPi0YCkECf1BqqypkhO5LStRKVyn-r6TKBbUzAn6FvdG-4CfV_JQ1Kg9CLwR7q_o/s1600-h/IMG_7133.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398716071915809346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_RUjrcc8sd03t1BHXAh3FtcZ3NBAabTzhpIX2HvS4mVfr1zvfchmleBsBWukuZMvB3iL0yrpcjcPPi0YCkECf1BqqypkhO5LStRKVyn-r6TKBbUzAn6FvdG-4CfV_JQ1Kg9CLwR7q_o/s320/IMG_7133.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFj3OSxDqMW7-YYaqMbK2wZXPt76xYSUXwsDdN7vZVoOnCJnm-jTBZxL6DcR2XeQ9kwBhYLT9RPD5IDKVKCcKFkTAA1cEHWEXnA1IQFySvisz7ANZA-PDJGElBDDNKC35Qnpibp1BYORI/s1600-h/IMG_7132.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398716066066614658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFj3OSxDqMW7-YYaqMbK2wZXPt76xYSUXwsDdN7vZVoOnCJnm-jTBZxL6DcR2XeQ9kwBhYLT9RPD5IDKVKCcKFkTAA1cEHWEXnA1IQFySvisz7ANZA-PDJGElBDDNKC35Qnpibp1BYORI/s320/IMG_7132.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7PRFCTJJQxWUUKk1Lq253sCkwHCrLf4sZlKzkLeSZT0j0f7PZVQxKqBXtQtSkVZ33nIfivVP9j4cqPoLdwR_ugBqwb4A75NFuSqA2PzixCWtE6dt0MOcFNpML0mJQ9yV5bSG1aWQbNc/s1600-h/IMG_7120.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398716060082218098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7PRFCTJJQxWUUKk1Lq253sCkwHCrLf4sZlKzkLeSZT0j0f7PZVQxKqBXtQtSkVZ33nIfivVP9j4cqPoLdwR_ugBqwb4A75NFuSqA2PzixCWtE6dt0MOcFNpML0mJQ9yV5bSG1aWQbNc/s320/IMG_7120.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0m1LmLvSmarhYWiOGexanhnEC9Xvk170yolfcdedEmTm6TiQRBajzgD8ycW_c3kJMQlVnPYU8tr8AFT1iry0ZNfgmEa7lTEo8_oKABOCDP92O9-sO62NQxcTLFMSgzY92fRCyrHaUyWU/s1600-h/IMG_7102.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398716055894140146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0m1LmLvSmarhYWiOGexanhnEC9Xvk170yolfcdedEmTm6TiQRBajzgD8ycW_c3kJMQlVnPYU8tr8AFT1iry0ZNfgmEa7lTEo8_oKABOCDP92O9-sO62NQxcTLFMSgzY92fRCyrHaUyWU/s320/IMG_7102.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkh5suam3Lix6D89cbnkcpaB8hhFDG_j1d7euAcC1bcXRu6_COl7NrHd1_aHekdxPXZ6lLya4LpL07XTMffzFdNbBxpee0cS_NdF0vXl_0l-vKLUUjxiEEI91yF6USTK_Jmvn0aGEnCE/s1600-h/IMG_7042.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398714177362464290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrkh5suam3Lix6D89cbnkcpaB8hhFDG_j1d7euAcC1bcXRu6_COl7NrHd1_aHekdxPXZ6lLya4LpL07XTMffzFdNbBxpee0cS_NdF0vXl_0l-vKLUUjxiEEI91yF6USTK_Jmvn0aGEnCE/s320/IMG_7042.JPG" /></a> On our way back from Maui we had 11 hours in LA, we rented a Ford Mustang Concertible ( at the cost of USD 181,-) and cruised around. First we went down to Seal Beach where we had breakfast at an Irish pub on Main street. Then we walked around, took some pictures and ended up at Harbour Surfboards wich is probably the worlds oldest surfshop and surfbrand, it was established in 1959 and was celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. After a couple of hours in Seal Beach we went down to Huntington Beach (aka. Surf city) to check out Jakes's Surfboards and Huntington Surf & Sport, they are probably two of the worlds biggest surfshops.<br /><div>After this we cruised up Pacific Highway all the way from Huntington to Venice Beach with the cab down and the wind blowing in our hair. When we had checked out Venice Beach for a while we had to head back to LAX to get on our flight back to Europe. The flight went realy smooth for me, I guess I slept for about 8 hours of the flight, and after a short stop in Frankfurth we landed in Oslo shortly before 4 o'clock where the temperature was about 0 celsius, it seemed absolutly unreal that less than a day ago we where cruising around in LA and that it was less than two days ago that I was sailing at Hookipa.</div></div></div></div></div></div>Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-68232487927649998732009-10-26T05:32:00.007+01:002009-10-26T05:47:58.418+01:00Kanaha & Kuau today<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHEa_wWWzMdk6bRPwDLe3PhTmnDVRnAY4eaDZ9bgBDrh-0OrEzFyProdfF6yH-TOvoTenzaTHuzPVaJRhVAv1GU2ATLZWkAe54nnJT9-mpP9jaH2Y1YPbzP4ys7_xYmgsm3fUCAyj2BzY/s1600-h/IMG_6929.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396764145363914914" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHEa_wWWzMdk6bRPwDLe3PhTmnDVRnAY4eaDZ9bgBDrh-0OrEzFyProdfF6yH-TOvoTenzaTHuzPVaJRhVAv1GU2ATLZWkAe54nnJT9-mpP9jaH2Y1YPbzP4ys7_xYmgsm3fUCAyj2BzY/s400/IMG_6929.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgb05egIX9n_J9lkL7ZLmWSNQtl9ps0mCWFDUEvOL2f3cI-oNWMiQNm3OWaamI5SHj2rONMwtCvPgIUH5uu9u1_8Bv-4pMaTB8xWRapHVS5qUf3XJWV2H7fLuQ_8kL9anzeEV97uOHtOg/s1600-h/IMG_6940.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396764134871374162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgb05egIX9n_J9lkL7ZLmWSNQtl9ps0mCWFDUEvOL2f3cI-oNWMiQNm3OWaamI5SHj2rONMwtCvPgIUH5uu9u1_8Bv-4pMaTB8xWRapHVS5qUf3XJWV2H7fLuQ_8kL9anzeEV97uOHtOg/s400/IMG_6940.JPG" /></a> After lunchTormod & Jørgen persuaded me to join them on Kanaha, the plan was to windsurf @ uppers. But after a short spinn up there I found out that the waves where crap and went back to the beach. Packed up my gear and headed up the coast to Kuau where there at least was sideshore waves. Managed to get about an hour out on the water and got a couple of rides. Not any big waves, but it was ok. To morrow is our last day here and it looks like we are going to get wind then as well, not any big swell but it could be a nice relaxed day at Kuau or Hookipa.</div><br /><div>Tonight we have asked John from HiTech to join us for a nice dinner at <a href="http://www.mamasfishhouse.com/">http://www.mamasfishhouse.com/</a> wich is a very nice fishrestaurant located right on the beach next to Hookipa</div>Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-84355372812664781142009-10-25T05:26:00.003+01:002009-10-25T05:35:34.940+01:00Testing Quad @ Kuau<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcP2KJq4BqgM_i76KTPxmnJdPVakH7srgqLnpmhZK3Vw1gAR1MLfW-MbsDRBgIPZJB6MKv6f32-C3GAmiYHRTm16F00nd5JkYVXySqM8hi7HgaUjxI7fHJES-qqcggDVKgtu4rYN0lJO8/s1600-h/IMG_6910.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396391372515801506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcP2KJq4BqgM_i76KTPxmnJdPVakH7srgqLnpmhZK3Vw1gAR1MLfW-MbsDRBgIPZJB6MKv6f32-C3GAmiYHRTm16F00nd5JkYVXySqM8hi7HgaUjxI7fHJES-qqcggDVKgtu4rYN0lJO8/s400/IMG_6910.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlZqJyY0Bg5-hNqxrzdBi9Gt68YZCYPa-Cf3M35qf9L1H8eWdkCvT3qVJPiY74QdqvD8MjxMBSMAFPF0sQcwXoLaylOu2GUEG9DIgpZbwFzDylfBWUw3DxU1YQEVyGifXd_IDdMhxLJY/s1600-h/IMG_6914.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396391361589453458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIlZqJyY0Bg5-hNqxrzdBi9Gt68YZCYPa-Cf3M35qf9L1H8eWdkCvT3qVJPiY74QdqvD8MjxMBSMAFPF0sQcwXoLaylOu2GUEG9DIgpZbwFzDylfBWUw3DxU1YQEVyGifXd_IDdMhxLJY/s400/IMG_6914.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjag2MxTeUyW3RgH5-5bhsFIjeuEFHpwX4LRaI0gbqViFfWPO78iWBJ5QvHDVjbNnprq3JWJHuTxC_xgVXL6MPsJ04xMdxtEmFDj-18n9cqft18Uw74WcXDUrnR3D3nvwz4pim4RExvxB8/s1600-h/IMG_6909.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396391354149942178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjag2MxTeUyW3RgH5-5bhsFIjeuEFHpwX4LRaI0gbqViFfWPO78iWBJ5QvHDVjbNnprq3JWJHuTxC_xgVXL6MPsJ04xMdxtEmFDj-18n9cqft18Uw74WcXDUrnR3D3nvwz4pim4RExvxB8/s400/IMG_6909.JPG" /></a> Today it was my turn to test Goyas prototype for quad board, the boards will be released on the market in 2011 and I can promisse you all a great adventure.

The wind was coming straight from the east wich meant that Kuau and Hookipa was the only places working. The wind was a litle bit lighter than yesterday so Jørgen & I went out with a 5,3m2, I was on my 95 liter while Jørgen was testing a prototype for a Goya Quad at 86 liter. He was stoked about the board, but it's a shame that we will have to wait until the release of the 2011 models before we can order one. No pictures today because our photographer Tormod also went out for a while, this was Tormod's first session at Kuau and he was a happy man when he was back on the beach. Tomorrow the forcast says a litle bit more wind, still from the east, so I guess we will be sailing at Kuau again, and tomorrow I'm gona test the quad, if Jørgen let's me.....................Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-79654209574906564262009-10-23T10:49:00.003+02:002009-10-23T10:56:46.132+02:00Nice session @ Kuau<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3BdDERwczvPhm7Rv0XfMtiHZdFQDyD8eL1jXTAnDTKx8XcSxG-Vq5Rg9c-ECizn4KQAO3w2Deqi3NqxVAuQv5ax6lLnd6UbrqWRrYnLCf-2K_J3lM77WKkBDDpo0fECmYDXDSCk_jMk/s1600-h/IMG_4240-korr.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 189px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395716434362309122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3BdDERwczvPhm7Rv0XfMtiHZdFQDyD8eL1jXTAnDTKx8XcSxG-Vq5Rg9c-ECizn4KQAO3w2Deqi3NqxVAuQv5ax6lLnd6UbrqWRrYnLCf-2K_J3lM77WKkBDDpo0fECmYDXDSCk_jMk/s400/IMG_4240-korr.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyilBtTohqV4nO_oyxYLk4XDJL_Q9nRugvfNrYTliPEl864_l3CUPG8L5kOZh1-Eq6JlX1v6j2e8tdSqIAn_z420CdC0SGfcEAPswCka7FsfU63w8AFl83xvPKlNoyz-8JIcoXeTBH5ok/s1600-h/IMG_4239-korr.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 215px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395716430017131138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyilBtTohqV4nO_oyxYLk4XDJL_Q9nRugvfNrYTliPEl864_l3CUPG8L5kOZh1-Eq6JlX1v6j2e8tdSqIAn_z420CdC0SGfcEAPswCka7FsfU63w8AFl83xvPKlNoyz-8JIcoXeTBH5ok/s400/IMG_4239-korr.jpg" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8-47VgYjYYObR_6PrmAUKJWjlBupbIYAyX0rRdDQfLQnJAPNy0dPTj-TuPB0zOpIrIQOs3zclIn95-5g62esfuaBKslpLZ31PlnYdG33blhjBaOtcaSKwXlSAxLsQCTL9ftarko3aiZg/s1600-h/IMG_4238-korr.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 219px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395716420349117746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8-47VgYjYYObR_6PrmAUKJWjlBupbIYAyX0rRdDQfLQnJAPNy0dPTj-TuPB0zOpIrIQOs3zclIn95-5g62esfuaBKslpLZ31PlnYdG33blhjBaOtcaSKwXlSAxLsQCTL9ftarko3aiZg/s400/IMG_4238-korr.jpg" /></a> Jørgen & I had two hours out on the water outside Kuau, we sailed on our 5,0m2 and big waveboards.

Hookipa was on fire and in very light wind 10-15 windsurfers where out ripping in the hugh waves. It was great fun to watch Keith and others doing what they like best, ripping up the waves of Hookipa.

He proved us wrong and had a great session even if he had to work a lot with his rigg to keep the board planing and avoiding the wipeouts the would have sent him on the rocks. Instead he managed to pull of a great off the lipp. After a short tripp to Ocean4Hawaii we ended up at Sprecks where we had a great afternoon session with our 5,0m2.<br /><br /><div></div></div>Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-61664506902991363832009-10-19T10:18:00.008+02:002009-10-19T10:42:52.570+02:00Goya Norge ripping @ Hookipa<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394226423239219890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-2_iomo9clRKm23wMxF1mcqN66HKSS4sbxYmrFgA3wMD8pNFul3Z1xj1YDj3a7pxJYqIYXketh3GCQfSVCOqBzwvSuP_fne9Zefz8non4fTKOh5XsEIEoo1f7QZ0GK2FOD7GgSnEPsVk/s400/IMG_3583-komp.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUuaqyIDOZm8u-OQMDS0fJnHcXdoUzmy1c8BT3QhyphenhyphenE85gAwWN2D-6Y6yUibYbP5J2GFmeXml_UgECg8Mg9SLbC5NUPzFONoE4Fm6ZHuPJwznKh7ALBBvtxKu5QMYGHPvWenN4SDSDaUs/s1600-h/IMG_3756-komp.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394226461467322722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUuaqyIDOZm8u-OQMDS0fJnHcXdoUzmy1c8BT3QhyphenhyphenE85gAwWN2D-6Y6yUibYbP5J2GFmeXml_UgECg8Mg9SLbC5NUPzFONoE4Fm6ZHuPJwznKh7ALBBvtxKu5QMYGHPvWenN4SDSDaUs/s400/IMG_3756-komp.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCtwtRVxKpBsSpRRksKG0-U-8bINGiXRylEtJATjBC5-h3ooCiOZV7BEI-JKoEcWZloQfHVBZYil21csS7vtp68_lisF5jeN2gX7M2le0Rd7NJrb7dncZgDEpgRhOb3NcqachvaP3luw/s1600-h/IMG_3585-zoom-komp.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 259px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394226449856873602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCtwtRVxKpBsSpRRksKG0-U-8bINGiXRylEtJATjBC5-h3ooCiOZV7BEI-JKoEcWZloQfHVBZYil21csS7vtp68_lisF5jeN2gX7M2le0Rd7NJrb7dncZgDEpgRhOb3NcqachvaP3luw/s400/IMG_3585-zoom-komp.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx3kI4L0JeTRywE11QUt5TN0Q-kTBD4DmGsqjBRHOSBWDr1ZxdQCOmT2nEHdq9biIOpcGNeQXB3xCOtZztubnpyCH4SnwzHGffUE-IaJEyhQfsXBeLCo6r-2su_Acuw0HvXIIwHIthpo0/s1600-h/IMG_3547-komp.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 246px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394226443601969346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx3kI4L0JeTRywE11QUt5TN0Q-kTBD4DmGsqjBRHOSBWDr1ZxdQCOmT2nEHdq9biIOpcGNeQXB3xCOtZztubnpyCH4SnwzHGffUE-IaJEyhQfsXBeLCo6r-2su_Acuw0HvXIIwHIthpo0/s400/IMG_3547-komp.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCOO_oO4v1g0SrrYBF5a8LWY7kgoU1YX_KUNfjZjeLcoXikT7PUZ7tVUVKMpGo92WPqRLlSz_KW0OsjmKgVLeS1-rGou9O2v51RBd9bQaph6YZ_L4eKuYKkOX5EaEjwKa4poE6UrZWTis/s1600-h/IMG_3473-komp.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394226432592585202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCOO_oO4v1g0SrrYBF5a8LWY7kgoU1YX_KUNfjZjeLcoXikT7PUZ7tVUVKMpGo92WPqRLlSz_KW0OsjmKgVLeS1-rGou9O2v51RBd9bQaph6YZ_L4eKuYKkOX5EaEjwKa4poE6UrZWTis/s400/IMG_3473-komp.JPG" /></a> Today Jørgen & I had a great seassion at Hookipa together with Terje who had his first session at Hookipa on a windsurfer. Jørgen & I used our 5,0m2's and our biggest waveboards and managed to ripp up some waves whitout ending on the rocks. After about 90 minutes at Hookipa we packed our gear together and went down to Kanaha where we once again rigged our 5,0m2 but this time we went out on smaler boards, I was on my 85 liter custom Goya and Jørgen tested out the 78 liters Goya Custom singelfin 2008-mod. We had a great session there together with Tormod, our photographer from Hookipa, many thanks to him for beeing so patient and taking a lot of pictures of us while we where out. When Jørgen called it the day, I also tested the 78 liter singelfin and it was a great board with a lot of speed, realy looking forward to getting this as my new hardwind waveboard. </div></div></div>Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655468556438371788.post-37319910092385401772009-10-18T09:08:00.006+02:002009-10-18T09:29:49.651+02:00Some advise from a pro<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQI_gmPdolsVSbC8sjwIqhrEqygesJyY0LekAm-_bye50E3WkmXbnYKC6AhbfkCElZBQJr_vfOM0skHeKH2nd8U0KE9uBydLwU0GjBIj1ABPm93lyaIcrGXb2TtpA38Nehj7GiS1MhZc4/s1600-h/IMG_6514.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393838130307518098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQI_gmPdolsVSbC8sjwIqhrEqygesJyY0LekAm-_bye50E3WkmXbnYKC6AhbfkCElZBQJr_vfOM0skHeKH2nd8U0KE9uBydLwU0GjBIj1ABPm93lyaIcrGXb2TtpA38Nehj7GiS1MhZc4/s400/IMG_6514.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoR8lE6U2qcAcTD-OVk-rd8dW8fka9RxE3G0wgi3YyyBj5S4nw7YgYhbFhyrdY3WMWSvizrYOJsXuU7RUY3ZydJuIE63j9WBlUMR4BfjbU-B5ZJZJ-Nao2-nU9y6NFPfYyzYcg_RSyFVI/s1600-h/IMG_6511-redigert.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 298px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393838122882422658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoR8lE6U2qcAcTD-OVk-rd8dW8fka9RxE3G0wgi3YyyBj5S4nw7YgYhbFhyrdY3WMWSvizrYOJsXuU7RUY3ZydJuIE63j9WBlUMR4BfjbU-B5ZJZJ-Nao2-nU9y6NFPfYyzYcg_RSyFVI/s400/IMG_6511-redigert.JPG" /></a> Another day with 5,3m2 @ Kanaha, but first we stopped on Ho'okipa and got a few advise from Levi Siver about how to rigg the new Goya Eclipse 2010-mod. Tanks a lot to Levi for his tips. We considered going out there as well but even Levi thought it was a litle bit gusty and since Jørgen's biggest sail was a 5,0m2 we decided to go for Kanaha instead. Kanaha was great with steady 5,3m2 for most of the day with some waves coming in, the biggest ones maybe 1-1,5 meter high. After all we had a great day. I even got the chance to test the Goya Twinser @ 89 liter. It was an interesting experience, in the waves it felt like standing on a surfboard riding in the pocket at all time (if you liked) But in light wind I had troubles staying uppwind, once powered up it felt very loose and I'm looking forward to testing it more. Jørgen also tested the Eclipse 5,0m2 and he was very pleased with it, the only downside was that it was to small so to morrow he has borrowed a 5,3m2 from HiTech.<br /><br /><div></div></div>Sigurd Klippenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10073839079431866794noreply@blogger.com0
