Christmas day, normally a pretty relaxed day for me, i am still tired because of all eating the day before. So i planned to do nothing untill i opened the blinds and looked out on the fantastic Öresund. Ouh i have to go out but what shall i play with? Dagger Stratos, Arrow Play or maybe the winds come more from the north, then i could maybe have the luck to go out with the Watertech ONA. Or shall i take the safe card, my Carbonology Vault with that one its allways perfect conditions. After breakfast and some relaxing (and thinking, am i to tired today?… no you are not!) i went down to the beach and checked it out. Ouh west wind, 12m/s it felt like. Not very big waves but messy, I like that… then its the Vault. A bit tricky to take here out from the shop as the wind hits the ski sideways, well i got warm at least and the wind was now as they prommised, 12-18 m/s. That gave me some nice adrenalinboost, as this means difficulties to get out from the marina. After a warm up in the marina i went out to the opening and realised soon that its stupid to go out as a small mistake will destroy my 3 500 euro carbon Vault completely as its only rocks outside. But in the opening there was really nice waves and i have allways dreamed of surfing inside the marina. Really hard winds but doable so i went out turned in the hole and catched the waves. It felt slow, but got like 13,5 km/h. Second run 15,0 now i wanted moore did three more runs but didnt nailed it. 15 i can paddle when its flat i was thinking. Next round, i waited for the bigger sets… damn didnt work, another one aaarrgghh missed the big ones again. Ok one more heavy paddling out. Wait, wait…. wait… now go go go this is the biggest one i have seen go i scream to my self and i turn around. The stern rises and i see a long hill down to surf in (i was a bit suprised that this was soo big). Heavy strokes with the paddle, dont loose it, ”pow” now the Vault releases all and i could surf down the hill with hard paddling to get the highest speed. Well that was fun and i reached 16,8 km/h. Pretty nice surfspeed inside a marina…
Have fun out there and take care! Soon we put up the look back of 2015, a fantastic year is soon over…
