France 01 – Normandie – Fecamp and sourroundings 05/2014

Wir sind nach einer langen aber sehr grünen und schönen Fahrt durch Frankreich, parallel zur Beneluxgrenze in der Normandie gelandet. Grüne Täler mit Bächen und Seen, nur kleine Landstraßen und Ortschaften, wir haben ja Zeit. Unser Erstes Ziel war Fecamp, eine Stadt an der Küste mit recht großem Hafen und allerlei Touri Zeugs, drum herum nur grün, Wald, Steilküste hoch und wieder hinunter. Die umliegenden Strände mit Ihren Kreidefelsen sind beeindruckend schön. Leider drückt es so gar keinen Swell um good old England, heißt das Meer ist flach wie in einer Badewanne. Das Wetter brachte uns wie auch die recht Kühlen Normannen so manchen Sonnenbrand. Jetzt geht’s weiter richtung Süd Westen.
We arrived after a beautiful journey through France the Normandy. The first stop was Fecamp, a bigger city with a bigger harbor. The surrounding beaches and areas are green and beautiful, up and down the hills of the Normandy cliffs. No swell was wrapping around good old England, so the sea is flat. The Weather is pretty nice, sunburns included.

Feb 2014 a week of snowboarding in reschen italy

A week of snowboarding with nando and me… Some smart phone pictures of our trip to reschen in italy, just behind the boarder. The most days was pow action, o.k. perhaps the half of our one week trip. To go to a place just behind the alps boarder to the south (with all these snow chaos in this week in italy behind us), some small skiing areas (menas less people (nauders suckz))… the plan was perfect! Enjoying some lines, 2 guys, mostly lonly in the pow, till 2 pm…. awesome!!!

Thanks to nando for start drinking and going to bed early!!! I still hope you will find your good looking jacket!

By the way, my board looks totally destroyed…

cheers, Tobi

Sri Lanka Argugam Bay Part 3 08/2013

Sri Lanka – Arugam Bay Surftrip 08/2013 Part 3

Alright, here is the last part of our trip.

After getting the knowledge of who is who and where are the nice places, the trip becomes more relaxed. We met some locals, had tea and food at their places and beaome friends with a few. Joining the local markets, buying the obligatory sari and some other nice stuff to bring home and to our friends and family. The surf becomes better and less crowded at the main point. And still some remote spots to surf and hang out. So many diffrent people from so many countries in the line up and arround was a nice experience. But as everywhere also dickh… arround. Ridiculous to pretty heavy to swallow. To relax and avoid another direct 400 k ride (8 – 9 hours) back to colombo, we rode to ella per tuktuk. At least i sleped in those tiny funny vehicles. Ella was very touristic but nice. Even the first breaky kothu was one of the best ever i had in sri lanka. Nice walks and views in the tea hills. It was cooler then the hot south east. At the last day we shared a taxi to colombo with a backbacker guy. At first we was in wonder why the driver always asks for the way, then we understood that he coudn´t read the signs. Actionaly we drove through the monsun, the first time for us and catch the flight home in time.

cheers

Sri Lanka Arugam Bay Part 2 08/2013

Sri Lanka – Arugam Bay Surftrip 08/2013 Part 2

The pictures are captured arround arugam bay. The southerly breathe was growing up pretty early, often before noon. So get out of bed earlier and surf the main point, a dead coral reef righthander or go by tuktuk ride to one of the remoter points. After we had breaky and chill in the hot hours. Rotis, pancakes, noddles, currys and fresh fruit juices or lassies, what a delicious life. There is a lot of wildlife arround. In the morning we spot far elephants, monkeys. And even at our place there were gekos, squirrels and heps of iguanas and other stuff. A lot of small fish i jumping in the surf and i spot some turtles.

cheers

there will follow a last part, with more surf…

Sri Lanka Arugam Bay – kumana nationalpark 08/2013

Sri Lanka – Arugam Bay Surftrip 08/2013 Part 1

My girlfriend and myself heading through sri lanka for a 3 week summer holiday. After a long night at the Dubai airport and a long taxi drive throgh the island (included the first curry and rice, khottu and a crazy elephant expirience on the road) we arrived arugam bay.

Surf in the mornings and evenings (pretty crowded on a okish backhander) at the main point, relaxing between the hot hours by breaky, sometimes totaly brain overflowed by the culture surroundings we became friends with the bay.

The pictures are from our first days in arugam bay and a amazing safari in the kumana (yala) nationalpark.

Cheers

P.S. More pics will follow soon.

Bretagne Easter – 04.2013

Easter 2013 – bretagne road / surf trip

The decision to go on a road trip in Europe on these cold spring days felt weird. But the forecast looking like still pumping swells and pretty much offshore. The first days was pretty nice and solid in the sets but shifting peaks and the strong curl takes the wave count down. By the way, under 10 C of water temperature doesn’t allow long sessions (and two stops by the local surf shop to by warm gear).

I stayed between crozon and the south end of the bay of audierne, mostly on the more consistent spots. Scored some waves, mostly once a day, reading, walking arround or to scenic places… I was pretty happy to travel with my own van (including heating system) again. There were flat and relay cold days and makes it a kind of mellow trip, the waves and swell wasn’t such perfect then I thought, but I have enjoyed it so much….

… how you wanna now that you are be alive, when you never was on a road trip…..
