Getting surf in Sweden is always fun. Getting it with offshore wind is even better. Shoulder high waves and little mini barreling sections adds to it. But I and Rikard wasn’t by ourselves. I’m so stoked to see that we have a very real surf community in Sweden. At 6 o clock in the morning there were about 30 guys
Scored some nice waves on Österlen yesterday. It’s on the opposite side of Skåne so it’s quite a drive from both Malmö & Torekov, but there’s some good spots over there so on a good swell it’s always nice to go. This evening was beautiful. The field with yellow flowers (rapsfält) just bloomed and together
Say what you want about these days.. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Cinnamon bun Day (is it only in Sweden?), Waffle Day etc etc. but International Women’s Day stands for something more than just encouraging one to buy more things. I choose to see it as a day to reflect over the gender equality in my
An evening in Zafer’s shapeshed in the middle of Swedish nowhere. He got a real shaping setup and this is my first time here so I was stoked to see it! After a while I understood why. Zafer has been shaping since he was 12 years old and has been working as a professional shaper
You never know what it’ll be. Sometimes it’s some cool weather. Sometimes it’s the most awesome waves. Sometimes it’s both. Sometimes it’s nothing. Surfed this spot for a couple of hours.

The only problem was it hit during the night… Adventure. Evening session just as the storm pulled in. Surf starting to build. Everything around us fell down. Sea level
A dawn patrol adventure a while ago. There’s not much that beat a couple of days of good swedish waves shared with friends. When it comes to the dawn patrol, surfers are soldiers…soldiers of fortune. If they are fortunate enough, the morning mission will yield big results.
There’s something special with summer surf here in Sweden. It’s the weird feeling of not freezing your ass off when taking off your wetsuit. Happens very rarely. Petter and I went out for some surf together, just me and him. Also quite rarely for this time of the year. Our peak season for surfing together
Went home to Bjäre for a few days to shoot some farmers putting their potatoes in the ground. It was interesting. I had ride one turn in every farmers tractor so that they’d get to know me before I could take the pictures. O course they knew my family and told stories about my grandparents
After beeing looked up in the apartment for three full days doing my essay I decided it was finished, because Alex called and apparently there were surf going off. In Malmö there were still no snow. Here, it was snowing sideways.. It wasn’t only the snow that was going sideways, so did my car. For
