Nice surf in small waves at Maui, Thousand peaks

Jørgen and I together at the same wave

No wind to day either, so then another surfing day. This time Jorgen, Sigurd, Terje and I had a nice trip to the south part of Maui and surfed at classical Thousand peaks. I was so lucky to have Jorgen with me out there at the reef. Jorgen is a mush better surfer than me, such as surfing Ho’okipa this morning as well. So then Jørgen was so cool and gave me some lessons in how to do the take off better. Here some pictures from the day taken by Sigurd sitting at the beach after his surf session. The picture to the right is happy me after surf.

We are now in a period with no wind, so it would probable be surf tomorrow as well. The forecast say it should be some wind in a couple of days, and with swell. We all hope it kicks in!

Surf at Thousand peaks

Mathias Paal and me had a really nice surf session at Thousand peaks today.
Have for sure been surfing now and then when it not is wind earlier, but now really starting to feel a huge progress, and are more capable to catch some waves, had even one ride all the way into the beach. Have learned by looking on others take off. Not many strokes , and right when the wave come parallel strokes, and with the body in right position on the board, I sometimes manage to cash someone, without nosedive or missing the wave. Mathias who is a natural talent for surf, also told me that the more experienced also use their legs in the take off by bending the knees and then control the forward weigh in the take off, before standing up. I have to try that. If some blog readers probably way more surf skilled read this don’t hesitate to give some advice in the comment field. Anyway best advice and best way to learn is to be on/in the water, and that’s what we gone do tomorrow. Paal took some pictures today. Paal's blog here!
