and found a spot, small waves, good kickers and it was on. It
took us back to the occasional event where a boat would
offer up a wave for us during competition, it was pretty fun to
fly high at last, to really get some bigger freestyle moves in
the bag.
Looking back, I’d personally say that Lofoten is one of the
most stunning places I have visited, I will go back again in
the future, the surf there is incredible as well, and it’s totally
worth visiting. From a windsurfer’s perspective, we found
much better conditions further down the west coast, within
the islands there.
With so much unexplored, uncharted terrain on the
windsurfers map, you can be sure there are spots along this
coastline that are world-class – be that for freestylers,
freeriders or wave sailors. You just have to go in blind at
some locations with faith in your knowledge and experience
of weather, the ocean and the forecasts. Ultimately you’ve
got to be prepared for the true spirit of adventure to take
over, to go as far as you can.

focused on the forecasts, trying to score
sessions where the wind perhaps funnelled

I’d just like to say a special thanks to our crew who all went
above and beyond in these conditions to shoot and capture
what we were able to show now. For us we hope it is the
start of something much bigger, so watch this space, in the
meantime feel free to check out the free movie on YouTube,
‘As Far As We Can’ and to follow and subscribe to our
