Jag har träffat alla i lineup:en i denna tråd utom Maks, Svullo och dig (mig veterligen) och ingen har varit grinig då. Men som jag sa, det är väl naivt att förvänta sig positiva reaktioner på ett påstående som att ”göra vågsurfingen större i Sverige”.

Jag skulle vilja påstå att ”genombrottet” kom hösten 2004, när en parkering vid en båthamn i Halland blev översvämmad av allt och alla och det var inte positivt.

Om alla som började surfa, tog sig tid att lära sig vad som gäller, dels i uppträdande mot boende och även i vattnet, så skulle problemet inte vara lika stort. När det ligger 20 pers i vattnet som knappt kan sitta på brädan, är i vägen, ligger i take-off zone etc., har man upplevt det några ggr så…

Attityden mellan vågsurfare, åtminstone på västkusten, är generellt sett väldigt bra och jag har bara mött en enda grinig i vattnet sen midsommar förra året. Däremot på forumen, så är tonen mycket hårdare, eftersom man inte kan klä text med tonfall på samma sätt, och allt blir mycket hårdare.

Så låt mig runda av med ett litet 🙂

Daniel, you hit the nail on the head, good onya!

Svullo, that is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard. Fred på jorden is not what happens when resources get overstressed. And has anyone here acted like a local or been mean to Maks? No one has said anything about anything like that. We just don’t want surfing to be exploited. Why do you want to?

I’m with Per, I’d rather surf waves then dodge crowds.

Thanks for the props Daniel!
Rurik, I have one RipCurl Ultimate Elasto Fireskin 6/5/4mm left in a large if you want it, may have a MT (it’s being reserved for a buddy). Anyways, it’s now only 2800 ( regular price is 4300 +) It’s at Hollywood GBG and i can ship for free if you can’t come and get it.
Peace

By the way everybody, looks like I’ll be getting a few more boards in for the summer!

Hey!

Jag bara undrar vad skillnaden på en vågsurfdräkt og en vindsurfdräkt är.

Hey Sandra, if you are looking for a good deal on a surfing wetsuit, hollywood gbg has a women’s 5mm Ripcurl fireskin suit on sale for 1854; That’ll have you covered for the majority of the surfing year here in sweden.

Ahh, the big H was pumping and was very consistent late afternoon, but bumpy, below 200° so…I had some really nice take-offs flying down the face, but then…as usual, the wave went flat, I think the waterlevel was a bit too high and the direction a bit off.

Maybe it was the cold water and the fact beeing alone, but I found it a bit gnarly actually, then again, it was quite some time since I surfed OH.

Which suit did ya go for, the RC F-bomb?

Went for the RC Ultimate fireskin, i think this is the same suit as the F-bomb…the fucker is warm as shit though, i surfed all last year in my hurley 5/3mm, could pee in that one because so much water got in, but this suit, no way.
I thought the water level was lower than normal, when I surfed up front in the morning, there were some rocks exposed that aren’t normally exposed.
Anyways, that’s cool that you had the H to yo self, there aren’t many days like that.

there are heaps of spots in bohuslän but accessibility makes ’em hard. Grab a sea chart, ask fisherman and go look.

[sharkboy]

yo, I was in 2.5hours in the mornin’ we were 5 dudes total but it sounds like it was better later. We surfed up front which was fun but the harbour sucked, inconsistent (as always) flat faced and extremely choppy. My new suit is warm though, i was all nervous over the cold but no worries once I was in and no crowd!

Vad har ni för tips på vackra platser i sydvästra Costa Rica som bjuder på bra vågsurfing?
Är Jaco för skitigt?

Jaco is ok, good place for info. Go south or north for better surf: the further south the better. Dominical and Pavones are real good.

Hollywood i GBG har RipCurl 6/5 Ultimate Fireskin drakter, dem är ganska värme.
