40 cm with fresh Powder at Haukeli is pretty awesome. No wind is not….

It is pretty obvious that Ronny isn’t working in the kitchen at Finse 1222 anymore…. The dinner here at Snowjam 2007 was a real disaster. Pretty chocking that a hotel with the reputation that Finse 1222 has, is serving food this bad. We ended up eating spaghetti with ketchup… and even the spaghetti was over cooked.

Today it is Mayhem outside, so we have been “softing” in the sofa, eating cake and drinking coffee.

Yesterday we were at Ørteren on Hardangervidda testing a 8mm FishEye lens I have borrowed from Kim

Last weekend at Hardangervidda, I shot some photos of Kari Schibevaag, who needed some pictures for her sponsor Olden Boble.

Using a flash in the beautiful sun on Hardangervidda this early a year is a killer :)

Pretty happy with the result :)

WHAT A DAY!!!

This is by far the best first-season day I have ever had on snow. The wind was a little bit variable, but always enough for my 12 m Naish Torch II. Sunny, Blue skies, powder… Watch the video, and you will get the idea ;)

Car just broke down…. In Taiba…. Far from home…. Suddenly black smoke came from the engine…. Luckily Sigve, who turned out to be quite a mechanic, pointed out to us that it was some unimportant part that had broke, so no we continue the ride home…. The steering has on Servo any more, but what the hell… Happy go lucky…. :)

Bjørn is watching some braindead tv series from the United States of Fat People.

Today we once again did the downwinder from Cumbuco to Paracuru…. 4 hours straight. Some of the best waves I have ever kited in…. It is impossible to describe the feeling, surfing toeside down a big wave, looking back over your shoulder seeing the tracks from your boards cutting through the big wave rising behind you, hoping there is enough water left before the beach, and that you have positioned your kite so that it will be able to pull you away from the beachbreak…. Heavenlike.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more exciting, a shitload of seals and big curious turtles suddenly appeared…. The seals being BIGGER than me…. I very seldom think I am going to suffer from stroke caused by fear when kiting, but when the first Seal appeared 5 meters from my board today, I was pretty certain I would. 2 meter long Seals, coming to the surface to breath, makes a hell of a noise… Intimidating, but luckily, not very dangerous…..

As the lagoonas get more and more crowded, we are riding more and more waves…. Enjoying every second of it.
Waves are the new flatwater :)

This is Ruben Lenten.

Today one of the best kiters in the world showed up in the laguna. I usually find new school kiting pretty boring to watch…. This session was not. Sky high and very powerfull handlepasses and kiteloops, combined with the coolest kitestyle ever, made our Pro’s look like sacred ladies on the water…. Ruben kicked some serious ass….

Jeg har benyttet den relativt gode tiden jeg har her nede, til å rydde litt i gamle videoklipp og bilder. Til min store glede (og overaskelse) kom jeg over et klipp jeg trodde hadde forsvunnet fra mitt arkiv…

Godeste Morten Gjerstad har nemlig en sang han av og til synger i lystige lag, men han kan også være noe grådig på hvor og når og hvor lenge han framfører…

På nyttårsaften 2005 var jeg imidlertid så heldig å få festet denne heller sjeldne opptredenen til film… for inntil 1 time siden trodde jeg at denne var mistet for all framtid… det var den ikke…

Derfor får dere alle et lite avbrekk fra mitt Midt-Østen-eventyr, men denne praktfulle lille arien fra Morten. Kos dere :)
