Baltic Gold

Well to use some of the regular expressions for days like this one. It was epic, the spot was firing, it was going off.

Outside reef

Think the photo speaks for it self!!!

Takeoff

I have never seen conditions like this near Denmark. It was just like in Indo.

The Lineup

We went over there Saturday night and had a nice session before dark. Nothing big but clean and fun. Sunday morning the conditions was quite similar. The waves was bigger and the wind shifted between dead to direct offshore. In early morning the waves was still only shoulder to head-high thus rising throughout the morning. At noon the spot was firing with super clean overhead-high waves. The offshore wind and relatively low water level produced some amazing barrels. And once again the crowd counted 6 surfers at most, sweet!

What a day! Still hear the thundering barrels when I go to sleep, and that's not nightmare ;)
