Weekend with Danny

As hungry dogs we always end up with the leftovers. This time it was the once tropical storm Danny that gave us a windy weekend. At Friday the 4. of August it started with a nasty hauling southerly wind with gusts of up to 25-28 m/s.

DMI - Rain, Wind and Flooding



Vilshärrad was going nuts, people was windsurfing overpowered with 3.5 while the wind was extremely gusty. None of us had that small sails and the wind was more westerly than expected making it side onshore.

We went searching for alternatives





And ended up in a mixed session further south, I was windsurfing while the others were paddlesurfing. It was a new discovery, a pointbreak that delivered clean shoulder to headhigh waves. The wind was 90 degree offshore thus a bit difficult to windsurf but the spot seems to have a lot of potential. Didn't get any photos as is was getting dark :( Gotta be next time.

Saturday also delivered strong westerly winds, I didn't get out but heard that people was windsurfing havstokken with 4.2. Should have been good.

Sunday the wind had turned into W-NW and the scene was set for a decent paddle session.



My buddies abandoned me to checkout a new spot which didn't work (tsktsk). I ended up surfing sealpoint all by myself in headhigh conditions.



I didn't try to count the number of waves that I got, but it was properly more than I can count to :)



Cheers

Hornbæk Classic

It has been ages since my last windsurf post. That will changed now, this summer I have been windsurfing on most of the good days. And now that we have moved up near Helsingør it only a 5-10 min. drive to the north shore.

Tuesday the 18. of August was a classic Hornbæk day. The wind was 11-13 m/s from W-NW, there was headhigh waves and the sun was shining. Hard to ask for more.

Here is a few pics

After 2 hours on the water my harness broke and sure enough it happened as I was way out in the back. When I got in my arms was nearly 10 cm longer and aching. So if the pics seems a bit shaken that's why.

Hoping for a nice autumn :)
