We decided to go home, there was not wind forecasted for France, Germany, Belgium, Holland or Denmark for the next week.
So we started driving to Denmark in hope for some wind … got to Denmark and no wind. Bummer.
Logged on to a wireless net in some small city outside a appartment complex, checked the forecast. [...]

We have now arrived at the French Riviera in France. We hooked up with Otte, who is a very nice guy. Hopefully we will get some wind tomorrow or else we are heading upwards again.
Had a small session in Montpellier yesterday, dont really like the spots. Many beah swimmers, not very shallow and choppy. Not [...]

We left Lagoa De Albufeira yesterday, and got a light wind session in just before we left (it was forecasted lots of wind tho …).

Me doing a KGB in to light winds so I crash and burn … next time! (taken from a video scene)
We got to Peniche today, small waves and light winds. After [...]

Brede got some rideing in today, just riding back and forth. I think that made a smile on his face (think he was starting to get very bored with just sitting on the beach).
On the gas-station we are currently calling “home” I think the local workers are starting to think weird things. Me and Brede [...]

We just had another day of 14-16 knots of wind and some small waves. Brede’s leg injury still prevents him from going on the water, hopefully he will be back on the water tomorrow or on Tuesday.

Waiting for the tide to come in
We got some nice video footage today from some small waves, and tomorrow [...]

Alright, yesterday we decided to move cause of Brede’s leg injury. He can’t do much freestyle, so we decided to go try and find some waves (and some flatwater if possible).
Brede managed to open up his leg wound again by doing a kiteloop gone bad.

That’s gotta hurt …. landed on his ass
We also got picked [...]

Portimao in Portugal is just unreal … it was not suppose to blow yesterday. But did the wind show up? Yes it did, Brede and I had a kick ass session on the 15m2. So we have had wind since we got here, just amazing.

Brede shows off his kite
We spent most of the noon by [...]

We have had so many nice days down here, I’m not sure I want to leave ever (don’t worry honey, I’m coming home as planned). The wind seemed to have backed down for today and tomorrow, but will be right back on Saturday.
Brede had a session on the wather yesterday, but he can’t go fully [...]

We are still in beatyfull Portimao in Portugal. This is an awesome place to be, lots of sun, lots of wind and super friendly locals. I am used to locals beeing very protective about they`re own spots. But here they are super friendly and super nice. Gotta love it!
I had some more pictures from today, [...]

Today Brede had a big ass accident on one of the skateboard ramps here in Portimao. He really wanted to do some skateboarding before the wind kicked in, and that turned out to be a pretty bad idea. He fell down pretty hard, damaging his hip. Right now he has a big ass lump, but [...]
