Weather forecast can be tricky, and sometimes very unpredictable.
When a "hyper low pressure" suddenly show on the radars, you got to let go of everything and be on the spot, such days can be counted one one hand every year.
Today was such a day!! - a true epic Thursday!!!
Here's some screen dumps from the weather forecast - pretty powerful stuff, as you can see, so I agreed to meet up with Oliver & Co. for a photo shoot in Sweden.
Woke up at 2 o'clock, in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep - it was howling outside, a storm was showing it's power. I love it - ever since I have ben a young dude, I always loved when nature shows it's powers, I simply have to explore it, breathe it and be a part of it.
Vind conditions at 1 o'clock - 8.2.2011.
Wave size at 1 o'clock - 8.2.2011.
Heavy pressure drop moving in from the North Sea.
Vind conditions again from another weather forecast website at 1 o'clock - 8.2.2011.
As you can se we had really high winds and this low were causing a lot of damage.
The next couple of days I will show some photo's here from this epic day in Sweden.

After spending a day whit these guy's and seeing what a great time they had, made me realize that Surfing is real stuff, the core of every other surf sport, windsurfing, kite surfing and sub - it all started with surfing.
"Surfing isn't just a sport, it's a state of mind"!!!
