a few days in Gislövshammar...
My friend Ila came to me in the morning for a breakfast and coffee and checked the forecast. It still showed full power for our famous spot Gislövshammer on the eastcoast of Sweden.
We loaded my car and drove there in a very good mood and hoping that the temperature should go over 5 degrees on the way...damn cold man!
Finally there the spot was like we thought, logo high waves and full on 4,2 wind...woooohaaaaa!!!
We waited in the car to get in the mood, some food and another liter of coffee...it was time to rig!
To be honest it was really cold, the water was not more then 6° and the air the same...40 knots on top make it pretty rough!
We had a fantastic day and sailed two sessions...first 3 hours and another two before the sun went down. I was happy with my performance even though it was cold, had my best tweaked pushloops ever and sailed solid through the whole day.
My friend Love lives straight on the spot so it was just to walk 20m and the food was smokin hot...just to start eating :-)
We were really tired and just took a few glasses of wine and booom in the bed, to see what the next morning had to show....

We woke up with a body made of steel...hell man it took one hour to get even out of bed. I checked out of the window and holy shit...even more wind and it looked like minus degrees!
Love had the breakfast ready with coffee, eggs....like all inkl :-)
20m again and on the spot, luxury!! Wow..the spot worked even better, clean sideshore and bigger and cleaner waves...got ampd again!
4,2 Icon and Fanatic Twin 79 was the equipment for the day this as well. Nice rides and jumps made my day and to have so fun with all the friends make me smiling long time after :-)
Three hours drive and straight to dinner with my workingmates, some food and drinks and I really had to give up...my body could´nt take anymore. Bed time!!

Thanks Love for all inclusive :-)
