Cold and Strong wind in Norway

Posted by Cato on January 27, 2012

We have had the longest season I can remember here in Norway. But last week the winter came back to the west coast, with cold winds and snow.  But me and my brother refuse to give in quite yet!

Yesterday the wind was strong with 25 ms, and the temperature below 0 Celsius. Perfect to get your adrenalin pumping ;)

Last summer we took a trip to Rhodes island in Greece, to check out Sideshore`s kite camp setup.

On the south tip of the island there is a spot called Prassonisso, with awesome flat water conditions on one side, and waves on the other. It`s really something!  The wind was on almost every day for the two weeks we stayed. A great place with friendly people and nice atmosphere.

Got a lot of action on tape, both with camera on the beach and with the Go Pro HD mounted on the board/lines.  First up is the stuff we filmed from the beach. Check it out!

Check out www.Sideshore.no for more info on their Kite Camps on the Island! I can surly confirm the place is off the chart!!

The Norwegian newspapers are advising people to stay indoors! That’s one advice me and my brother decided to ignore this week :)

Thanks to the storm “Berit” we are having amazing conditions on the west coast. BIG swell has been hitting us hard from the North Sea all week. And it just keeps getting better and better!

We have been shooting some pictures, both out in the action and from the beach. Check it out:

This weekend the storm “Berit” has been hitting the west coast of Norway hard. Out in the wild North Sea the waves have been above 20 meter, and Jæren beaches has been getting swell up to 6-7 meters. This we can like !

Here are some pics from the action:

Strapless fun in the North Sea !

Posted by Cato on October 8, 2011

The waves and wind from the North Sea is hitting hard these days ! I just love the wildness of the north sea, it`s a great feeling going out in the madness ! A perfect time to test out my new Magnum Magic Seven (5`7) from Wainman Hawaii. The board is just totally sicko !! Fast as a bullet (by the way which the graphics truly state), turns on a dime, and is truly one amazing board for fast fun.  For me the board is just perfect, and works great both with and without straps. I really enjoy doing strapless airs with it !!

My brother Thomas shoot some nice pics the other day :

The fall has finally arrived here in Norway, and with it the waves starts rolling in from the North Sea. The last two weeks we have had strongs winds, and waves up to 4 meters. Hopefully we`ll have even bigger swell ahead :)

Shoot some pics with my Canon, and some with the Go Pro:
