Another great day in Varberg, Sweden

After a couple of days with surfing back at our local beach Larkollen, the hunger for better waves needed to be cured. The cure was found for some of us at Lejet in Varberg where saturday june 21st delivered another great day. Tormod, Thomas, Mathias, Runar and my self drove the 450 km to Varberg on friday afternoon and woke up in Varberg saturday morning to sun and wind. In the morning i sailed with my 5,0m2 and after lunch I had to rigg down and use my 4,4m2, the waves where also better during my second session. After totaly 4-4,5 hour on the water I was worn out and had to take the rest of the day off, I was tempted to go for an afternoon session in Apelviken but in the end I decided to save my strength for another day. After all it had been a great day, just check out the pictures.

Super thuesday in Varberg

At last we got a classic north/west day in Varberg, Sweden. Even if it was on a thuesday, many desperate norwegian windsurfers took a day of from work to get a day of perfect conditions in the bay in Treslövslejet. Paul, Runar, Tormod, Håkon, Ole Petter and my self where some of the lucky surfers who drove 860 km for a day of wind, waves and sun. After about four hours out in the waves I was hungry, exhaust and very pleased with my self for taking a day of from work. I was absolutly worth the drive, even if I almost lost one of the front wheels on my car driving home.

At last we got some wind

Sunday june 8th we finaly got some decent southwest wind and had a great day at Larkollen sailing 5,7m2 and also 5.3m2 in 22 degress water and airtemp close to 30C, what more could we ask for? Maybe a litle bit stronger wind?
I heard that some friends who was saling further south on the coast was using smaler sails, but we had a good time at Larkollen and ended it with a great barbeque on the beach after the wind had dropped.

New boom?

I dropped by one of Oslo's windsurfingshops, Lilleby which is run by my friend Kjell. He had just got a new boom into his shop and I dropped in to check it out. But even if it has been a very long time since i rigged my gear due to the lack of wind I do belive that the boom that I used last time I sailed maybe was a few year newer than this one.

Things to do when the wind and waves are missing

Like always in May we are strugeling with north /easterly winds in May, this means that the wind we gets is very gusty and don't give us any swell. The freeriders are having a blast but those of us who are praying for wind and waves.........well we have to be patient and hope for better days. In June it usually is a change in the wind direction witch means that the dominant wind direction is from the south witch also brings us som swell to play with.
In the meantime i take my bike and goes for a ride in the woods surrounding Oslo, here are som pictures , and if the wind doesn't materialise, there will be many more of those.
