Been sailing a lot around the world the last three years.I`m the norwegian champ in freestyle 2005 and finished 5th in Topocalma Infernal in Chile in waves in desember 2005.This year I will compete in the PWA.But all in all I just love sailing in big down the line conditions, something I`ve done a lot of the last years.

Personal Comment

What a day!
Finally we got some good action in Norway...
After missing out of the strong winds last time, we are really happy that we got another chance to show the world how the conditions can be like in Norway!!!
We met up for a second try for the storm chase, and we really scored!
Got a good point break with side shore starboard tack down the line conditions for about five hours – the spot is next to Brusand - and both me and Orjan had the biggest smiles on our faces the whole session! Every time we went out it seemed like there was a set wave coming and the wave size was about mast high on the outside reef!!
We where really stoked!
Second session we sailed at Sola Beach, and Orjan was just going off in the side onshore port tack conditions, doing super clean one hand forwards, and some really nice backloops...
That was also a great session, and at the end of the day we where both so tired that we almost couldn't stand on our feet!
