Nu är vi här....

Yo yo...here we go! Finally after 24 hours with sweating Turkish Airlines we arrived in Cape Town. On the airport we´ve got a huge rentaltruck that could act more of a baboontaxi down here, it´s way to big...but it´s cool we´re going to change it. The crew from Sweden is me and my friend from Gotland Jocke "mejjsel".
Down here we sorted everything out with house and all so we had an hour the day we arrived to sail. I tried the Newwave Twin 84 and had 4,7 Icon, no swell but strong wind so it was fine just to try it out.
We sailed the next day after but with 4,2 instead...both days at Sunset beach.
After those days the wind died completely and we had to make all the things we needed to do...shopping, get a phonenr...etc etc, catch some sun at the beach ;-)

We went to the beach in Landudno, beutiful beach. As i´m at the moment reading a book called Svensk maffia i´m reading a lot about Hells Angels and all of this maffia organisations. I spoke with my friend David Kruse about it, and he had read the book...he asked me if I knew that the Thomas Möller (X president of HA) was living just up the hill. Hehe cool...we went up the road from the beach and found his house, it was big!!
And on the way back me and Jocke were speaking about the house and all...and WHAT, there came MR Thomas Möller on his Harley Davidson with his HA skinwest, looked very motivated :-)

Anyway, yesterday we catched a nice day on Platboom/ Cape Point with full power 4,7 and up to 3m waves in the sets. Some nice jumps and some rides we had. Jocke had some nice turns, he was rippin and riding like there was no tomorrow.
