Usually offshore winds are a big NO! I will not recomend it to everyone. There will be some risk involved, and you better be prepared to ditch your`e gear if  in trouble. The wind also tend to get a bit gusty in off-shores, but if you ride a Rabbit though ….;)

So why go out in cross-offs ? It `s the perfect wind direction to ride Waves :)

Me and my Brother had an epic session last week, with Great Waves and Wind. Stoke!

We scored big and strong yesterday. The “Refsnes break” was at it`s best yesterday, and gave us an epic session on the outer reef. Was really close on hitting the reef in some turns, but made it out :)
Amazing session for sure, stoked !

Some pics from the session:
