Aterra Surfkayak weeks 2015

Now back home in Sweden…

This sunday put my bum in the ONA for the last time here in Peniche. We are in the middle of the Baleal bay. The waves are small for the first time this journey, 40-90 cm and that feels ok. Get som water under my kayak and starts paddling out. Meet some small foam and paddle further out, i feel so tired in every muscle. I jump over a wave that just shall brake and land flat hard. My body screams of the pain for this little wave. Every ligament is stretched to its maximum and all my muscles are completely finnished after ten days of fantastic waves. Some more strokes and i get out to the line up, surf the small waves together with Eric, the others have left. Its painfull and i just take waves that i can drop in to, no adrenalin helps me and i wonder why i dont just go back to the beach.

A rain comes in and create a fantastic view with a small rainbow so close to us that we nearly can touch it. All the surfers stop for a while and look at this perfect image. The Baleal peninsula creates a amasing fond in the background to this scenery. Suddenly a bigger swell comes in and i manage to get three bigger waves and i can end this trip with a big smile in my hart.

We have had some days with to much wind, but the wind droped in the afternoon so even those days we got nice surfs. Three evenings have we surfed in the beautiful sunset. In all, eleven days surf, maybe to much but its so hard to take a day of when others go out, next time i have to do that… i think ;)…

Enjoy the photos taken by Mattias Melldert, Birgitta Ludvigsson, Leif Davidsson, Bosse Gernandt.

Thanks to all that joind us this weeks, fantastic to meet you and to se all enjoying the Waves!
