West coast surf session...

Some of our guests went to Cotillo and scored some epic waves....

Good beginner conditions on the inside and nice barrels on the outside..

Some a-frames rolled in and created some nice lefts and rights..!

West coast beach break 20 December 2008

A bit too big waves for some of the beginners... :)

Floater

Johan Marklund a new guy who just moved to Fuerte, likes the slow waves and his longboard!

It's going off!

A few days ago the conditions were perfect.. Nearly no wind in the morning, then a bit of offshore during mid day. Good wave period, big swell and an epic surfsession. I had a few waves, but only got photo of one wave at the end of the ride.. But it was glassy and my favourite left, homebreak, shows again that Fuerte rocks!!! You could sit on our balcony and see the surfers catch nice long lines. Here is me at the end of a long left :)

The bigger sets were really fat and nice. Too bad I only had my 6'0 but I managed to catch a few bombs.. Here is an unknown surfer charging on of the nice big sets!

Roadtrip 27-28/11

Last week we went on a roadtrip, and it turned out to be a really great one. It was Johan, Mathias, Christer, Alexi, Markus and me who drove the west coast down to magical La Pared. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking...

Sunshine, waves and fun on advent...

Today was an epic day....!

Waking up to no wind and good swell.

We decided to surf one of the local surfspots in the Corralejo center and it was going off, with shoulder to head high glassy A-frames...

Here you see Christer getting knocked off his board by a drop in crazy dude... Going right!!


Me loading up for a cutback on one of many lefts this day. Fast and funny as hell! The smaller sets was actually longer and faster.

Linn with a nice drop. Starting to get the hang of the reef breaks nowadays!! Good girl!

Surf's up!

Yaaay!
The swell is now getting better and better and today we got good size on a beachbreak on the westcoast. It even got a little big for me sometimes hehe, I got so worked... But it was all worth it, cause I got one of the best rides of my life so far! Nice drop, going left. So I'm stoked! =)And I felt like I really needed that about now cause it's been long since my last good wave. But now it's all good again=) And the surf report for the next few days looks really good too so I'm hoping for some more good waves soon.

More good news is that Johan has gotten work at Down Under as a musician! He is ment to be playing three nights a week, getting people in earlier in the night. I think it's going to be great, he'll rock! Wish him all the best!

Tomorrow we're planing to go on a roadtrip and camp under the stars. We'll let you know how it goes. Stay tuned...

Fullt hus!

Jajamen, då var det fullt hus. Har haft tre helsköna killar boende hos oss den senaste tiden och idag dök det upp två till. Kul! Kommer säkert ha många trevliga surfsessions, utekvällar och soft häng tillsammans framöver. Igårkväll blev det ett besök på stans bästa restaurang, Avenida. Alla gick mycket nöjda och mycket mätta därifrån=) Det är helt sjukt vad prisvärt det är där. Vi var 5 pers, som åt och drack gott för under 60 Euro, galet bra. Sedan fortsatte kvällen på Rock Island för samtliga, där Johan gjorde ett av sina populära gästspel uppe på scen. Därefter blev det hårdrock för hela slanten på rockbaren Tattooz and Booze och den mest ihärdiga efter det hann med ett ställe till innan han droppade in hemma vid femtiden. För egen del blev det en inte allt för sen hemgång, ville hem och ladda batterierna inför kvällens strapatser, 50 och 60-tals tema på Miami Ice... ska försöka mig på att dansa boogie woogie...! Johan lärde mig några turer igår, och blir lite mer träning nu efter siestan=) Får se hur det går haha, är riktigt kul iaf!
