Love what you see as soon as you walk through the door… 

After a days shredd at OWC I slept at Trudi’s last night again. We stayed in bed, ate ice cream and watched a movie before we fell asleep. So today, we woke up early and headed out to Sebastian beach to meet up with Charlotte and her friends. Thank godness for Emily’s car with both AC and a working stereo! (No offence Trudi…).

When we got there the waves looked amazing so we decided to go and rent a surf board (even though we don’t really surf) and some nice guys in a surf shop helped us out. We even got to borrow one of their personal rash guards to prevent us from getting burned. So with that and our coloured zinc we headed out for a couple of hours. This was my first time shortboarding and it was really hard but I was stoked to actually get up a couple of times!! (even though I fell of straight away). Surfing is soo much fun and I’ll def see if I can go somewhere to do it again!

Waxing…

Zinc!

After shredding, tanning, swimming, burning, getting worked bad, chilling and running on hot sand we decided to get some food. We asked the dudes in the surf shop for a good place and they recommended the little fish shack right next door. Honestly, that was the best thing I’ve eaten since I got here!

Awesome food!

Yesterday I went to OWC to ride with Trudi and I was soo happy to see her again! After feeling a little home sick it feels great to meet up with a “swedish” friend who reminds me of home. And yesterday was crazy!

So, we decided to go to OWC to shoot right? What do I do? I forget the memory card back home! So in a crazy buzz of happiness we both jumped into Trudi’s car, raced to the nearest Best Buy while screaming and laughing in Swedish. We ran barefoot into the store, grabbed the first memory card we found and was out of there in less than 3 minutes. Before getting in the car and racing back, we both grabbed a Starbucks frappeccino and gased back to the cable.

We rode and shot for about 2 hours and got some pretty nice material. Although we both learned a lot about shooting with a GoPro and some of our material went straight in the trash.. I was supposed to go down town last night but after a day like this with both morning shredd and cable I was so tired that I almost fell asleep in the car on our way back to Clermont. Got stoked when I saw Trudi’s facebookstatus saying that she was as tired as I felt..

Well, here’s some pics from yesterday. Enjoy!

Starbucks!

Trudi’s awesome car! (which we need to clean…)

GoPro shooting, video coming up

Brandon woke me up at 7 this morning to go ride. So with a huge coffee cup,  The Killers in the speakers and the sunrise we went out. I tried some frontflips again (which turned out to be backrolls). It felt really awkward but at least I got some good laughs out of it. Then Brandon and his friend Dan rode while I was driving the boat like I was drunk or something. Somehow it was really hard for me to go straight this morning, weird!

Now, I’m going to jump on the trampoline and wait for everyone to got to OWC and meet up with Trudi. It looks like it’g going to be lots and lots of riding today. (:

Picture from when I rode with Amber and Abby a couple of days ago

Stalefish… (love gopro!)

Aahh! Just got some pictures of my new wet-suit in my inbox! It’s hard to imagine needing to wear one when it’s this warm but I guess things aren’t as good in Sweden. I’ll prob want to wear this one anyways just cause it looks sooo good! Thank you, thank you O’Neill and Froggy! (:

I just came back from a sweet set with Brandon where I worked on some landings and tried the Melissa, really liked that board on the water too! It’s so light and.. eeh, well.. it’s pretty 😉

I went to ride with Amber and Abby today in the sun, warmth and no wind. Abby’s V-ride was loaded so the wake was sick! I mixed some shooting I did a couple weeks ago at TWC with some stuff we shot today and here’s a little video for you!

(sorry about the bad edit, I just wanted to show you how it’s like over here)

We just got all the 2011 stuff from liquid force in at the camp! I’m stoked on trying some new boards but I don’t like the graphics much this year apart from Melissa’s, Watson’s and Harley’s boards. Want to try em!! (:

The Melissa.. Looove (notice california on the back of it…)

Last night, I spent some time on the trampoline with Brandon and I’m stoked on trying frontflips on the water agains since it’s been like two years since I last tried them. Then I got some more lessons in foosball. I ALMOST won one out of seven but nope, seven straight losses.

By the way, On my bike ride yesterday I stopped at wall-mart and saw another ben n’ jerry flavor I didn’t know existed!! Soo excited to try it out! (:

Last night, I went over to Katie’s house and spent some hours on the hot tub along with Emely, Katie, Nicola and her sister, Reed and some of his friends and some margaritas. Then we all went out in the boat to watch Reed and his friend ride and was I impressed! He did more spins on his wakeskate then I do on a wakeboard. Sick!

Crazy trees by Katie’s dock

After sunset when we slowly were riding back towards the dock, the moon came up and as promised it was bigger than it has been in like 20 years. So nice!

We spent the rest of the night watching like four movies before we all fell asleep in the couch.

I woke up this morning and went for a bike ride which ended up taking almost two hours. It was sweet though!Then I got back to the camp and tanned for a couple of hours with some coconut oil (inspiration by mattias). I’m going to tuck in early tonight and hopefully ride a lot tomorrow! (:

 

Just wanted to let you guys see what I saw when I logged on my computer today.. Don’t you just love these kind of apps… 😉
