Weekend recap
I know I am a little late for this, but a lot of stuff has been going on. Plenty of action over the weekend as well.
Friday was the previously mentioned Moonlight surf, it turned out a big success with a good crowd and some nice waves
There has been some windsurf action as well
Even I got to go for a very nice sunny session, in between eating birthdaycake with the family.

Birthday Presents
Over the weekend I celebrated my birthday and I was lucky enough to score some cool gifts.
Here are a couple of nice gadgets that I think you should check out if you get the chance. They come highly recommended
Atan Surf-boots
I was lucky enough to score two pairs of theese. They without comparrison the best boots you will ever get your hans on ( If you ask me). Give yourself the chance to check them out the next time you shopping for surfboots.
I got the toasty warm 6.5 mm winter-version and the 3mm spring version
Order your next pair here
Kanu logs
If you like me drive a smaller car it can ease your mind that you are able to lock down your boards and reduce the risk of theft.
These steel-enforced straps look like the real del to me I will definitely put them to use during this seasons combined family-surf trips
SUP -tips with Danni Ching
for practising your technique... pretty cool

Board update
Since I first posted about my new Fanatic Falcon 14x25 SUP raceboard. I have received quite a few questions regarding the board and how it handles diffrent conditions.
I really like the board , its definately fast , paddeling in the flats really has gotten much more fun with this board.
Its quite narrow and of course its a little tippy but its has great secondary stability. Its not made for stading around talking to your mates, you end up taking a swim.
It becomes more stable the faster you go. It took me a little pratice to master bouy turns the way I am used to , but now I dont really think about it anymore.
On downwinder conditions is a huge improvement to my previous boards, it catches runners real easy and its very easy to surf. The nose shape prevents the nose from getting stuck when going down step faces, it is however not a real ELf-shoe nose like some dedicated downwind boards have, but I find it works both in the flat and on downwinders.
Bear in mind that I am riding the 2013 version, I recently took the 2014 Falcon 12'6 for a quick spin and I most say I was impressed

Below Zero recap
So here is my little recap of this weekends event. The first race of 2014
Let me say first of I had a blast!
The route was scenic, the weather was sunny with mild temperatures and the water was so still it was like cutting through glass.
15 eager riders met for a race course with a few suprises.
We started straight of the beach in an epic battle for position
The Pictures are all from the event site:
Then a short sprint to go around a bouy.
Here a short video of the start and the bouy from a riders perspective:
We then raced back to shore and had to saw through a piece of timber with an old rusty saw.
Back up on the boards and start paddeling. 8-9 km through some beautifull scenery. After some catching up I soon caugth the tail of Peter Steinfath ( younger brother of world Champ Casper Steinfath) we chased the leader Mads Ring for quite a while before Philip came strong from behind and joined our group.
We weren't able to fully catch Mads before we hit the shore. He was a little ahead before Philip, Peter and I hit the shore only seconds apart.
We only had one last challenge before the rae was over. We had to chop through a piece of wood with an axe.
Years of working in the forrest came to my advantage and I moved into second position.
Much deserved winner was Mads Ring who had the lead for almost the entire race
We raced for almost an hour, I ended with an average HeartRate of 177 so pretty hard work , but so much fun
It was a great event- i will highly recommend everybody to join in!
I am already looking forward to the next event be sure to join in at :

Another weekend-lookback
Another action packed weekend for us weekend warriors. It was sunny, it was warm, lots of wind, waves and smiles. Saturday was pretty much a summerday. Saturday the westcoast was pumping, gale force wind from northwest and lots of fun.
Wind surfers were at it at the westcoast.
Gorm posted this pic from Fanø:
Further north in Hanstholm conditions were going off as well
Here Jonas..
I spend my weekend at the first stop of the danish SUP race series, It was held in my home town and I was one of the organizers so I really couldn't ditch it to go in the waves, unfortunately..
Even the baltic sea seeam to have been on fire :
check out RIp and snap for more:
I was even able to win the race, but the best part of the weekend was seeeing all the kids trying out SUP for the first time...

The week peeked on wedensday, with howling winds, gale force warning everywhere. I had to work all day, so I did'nt get a chance to join the action. But I have seen a few shots around.

Mid week wind
Wedensday delivered unexpected summer conditions with strong easterly winds and lots of sun.
I had the duty of taking care of the kids , so I wasn't able to join the fun myself. But I grabbed the chance of taking a few shots..
Steep choppy waves and wind for sails around 5,0 m2

More wind at the reef
Last photo part from fridays windsurf session. We have had a lot of wind and swell fro southerly directions lately. This works pretty well at the reef in Klitmøller but I haven't got a spot near by that really works.
