20 TRAVELNORWAY kitesurfing (Alina is kiting), were certainly a priority, but if conditions were on the edge or worse we had a plan B, C, D, E and so on. Mainly, I’d organised a winch, we drove this petrol smelling machine all the way up here and we were ready to use it. Tow-in has never really been a discipline I was especially fixated on, but when you inadvertently do well, you take interest in it. Clocking up some unexpected titles over previous years in the international scene I decided it was uk WIND SURFING time to actually do a trip where tow-in would be a part of it. Hence, the exact reason we were able to access and shoot at some of the sickest, most scenic spots I’ve ever been lucky enough to lay down windsurf moves. As a result, we quickly clocked up a selection of epic shoots, it’s just each time we would shoot, the sun would shift behind another mountain or an unanticipated rain cloud would suddenly appear overhead. The weather and daylight, were the two most stressful factors, even with the ability to shoot anywhere, anytime thanks to the winch, we were still caught out more often than not.
