Windsufing & SUP @ Varberg, Sweden



On tuesday I went down o Varberg in the south of Sweden to attend the 4H national camp for youths.
It´s the organisations biggest event in Sweden and since I´ve been a member of 4H since I was 6 years old and been to 15 of these camps before I felt like I had to participate on this years camp aswell.

And on the same day I arrrived they had different activities that you could participate in. This is a great oppertunity to try and learn things you never done before. In my case windsurfing and SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) was two of these things.

Windsurfing was awsome and funny as hell. It took a few tries but eventually I got up on the board and even learned to turn a few times, very proud of myself I must say. I also tried SUP. Not as fun as windsurfing but a fun sport to compete in I can imagine. I learned that SUP in the US is a bigger sport than Windsurfing, Kitesurfing and Surfing together, hard to believe but true. We only had a few hours so I didn´t get as much time as I wanted on the board but I´m definitely doing this again!










Thanks to Tobias Andersson @ Fahlen Surf for the lessons !
