One last session at Larkollen before departure

Had a great day at my local spot Larkollen to day. Just 6 days before I'm leaving Oslo for 3,5 week on Maui, the wind kicked in for a great day of 4,4m2 sailing. I had about 3 hours on the water and about half off the time it was great waves (for Larkollen). The water is getting colder and it's almost impossible to go surfing after work since it's getting dark earlier and earlier as we get closer to winter. I'm realy looking forward to join Tormod on Maui. This was possibly my last session at Larkollen this year, because when we get home from Maui it's almost winter (october 28th)
See you all next year and remeber to order your new boards and sail at ww.w.goyanorge.no

What a week!!!!!!!

Lejet 4 september 2009

The last week has been absolutly incredible for us windsurfers in Oslo, it's been blowing almost everyday and ended to day with an epic trip på Varberg. The forcast said 17-21 m/s and we got exactly that, and more. Since the direction was s-s/v we sailed in "Lejet" . Taking a day of from work sure did pay of as I was sailing with my 3,7m2 all day, most of the time overpowered. Usually when we get conditions like this the wind dropps a bit during the day. But not to day, the wind was steady 20m/s ++ and we did get some heavy action out on the water. One of the locals even tried a double forward but overrotated it big time and almost made triple forward.

After many hours on the water Jørgen & I went home to Oslo as two very happy guys.

A great day at Larkollen

Larkollen 2009

After a summer almost without desent wind at our local break Larkollen we sent our dear friend Thomas (who is living at Larkollen) on a weekendtrip to Balticum, it payed off big time. Sunday was almost as good as Larkollen can get in the summer. I sailed for an hour with my 5.0m2 and the rest of the day with my 4,4m2. Had great time on the water but as always in the summer the waves was not as god as we like them to be. But even if some of us where missing bigger waves, there where plenty off windsurfers who couldn't care less about the waves, the place was crawling with windsurfers on every level. It looked like everbody who had a windsurfer in theire garage or anywhere else had decided to go Windsurfing at Larkollen.

In other words it was a great day for windsurfers of any level, let's just hope the next day will come sone.

It was wet and slippery on the track but with great wett tiers on the bike we managed to pas all the rocks and roots. After about 2,5 hour we got back to the car smiling in the sun after a great session. The pictures are taken with my cellphone Nokia E71

5 years ago in Stavanger

Orrestranden, Stavanger

Late in september 2004 Jørgen, Pekka and my self took a weekendtrip to Stavanger. The plan was to sail at Refsnes or Orrestranden on friday and saturday. We was revarded with two epic days of sideshore conditions with great waves and wind. The waves was hughe and the wind was plenty enough to sail 4,2m2 for me. I even managed to take som pictures and shoot two movies during the weekend, the pictures was taken with an old "non-digitaly" camera and I just found the pictures and scanned them.

To see the movies from Refsnes & Orre please use these links
