Hope most of you have had a chance to watch: Less North 📍Norway. It was a hell of a ride. Amazing times. Not all easy. As you all well know how taxing these surf adventures can be. Lots of: did we make the right call? Should I have gone on that one? What if ?All so easy to know in hindsight but in the moment at times can feel over whelming. These videos for me give me a chance to reflect. And distill what each of these adventures teach me about each experience and also about myself. Feels like therapy in a way 😂I think as relaxing as surfing can be at at times, there’s also a lot of testy moments. Not just in but out of the water. And I think important to put ourselves in as humans, to get that high pressure perspective. Anyhow, thanks for all the support. And thanks to @timlatte@maxemanuelson@lofotensurfsenter@pauldanielvideo for all their insight and hospitality. U all rule
After spending time as far north in mainland Europe as you can travel, we drove 18 hours through the night, and the mostly pitch-black day, back home to rainy Lofoten, chasing waves in the middle of the darkest days of the year.
