Snowkiting at Haukeliseter

Friday afternoon I was still at work, eager for the weekend and as every dedicated kiter in the world I was checking the wind forecast just about every hour.. suddenly I discover, change in wind forecast for Haukeli!! 2 hrs later the car (my mom's car actually) was packed to the roof with me, Emily, the dogs (Nani, Heidi and Akita), 5 kites, 2 boards, goggles, helmets, parkas etc etc and on the road to Haukeliseter for the first snowkiting weekend of the season :)

Emily og Nani

The wind was nice, the weather was fantastic, the snow a bit wet, but hey, 2 out of 3, can't have it all! And not to forget, at Haukeliseter you are welcomed as an old friend, no matter who you are.  So we kited, played with the dogs in the snow, had a few beers in the lavvo, ate an amazing 3 course dinner and just enjoyed life!

Going Kitesurfing this weekend anyone? :)

Great winds and even some waves in the forecast for this weekend! I can try out my new water helmet. from sideshore.no :) Play safe! Already tried getting my surfboard in my head, not fun! Rather look "stupid" than be dead.. Not that anyone look stupid with this cool helmet! And only one week until Stavanger and Norwegian wave-kite championship.. Fluid Wave Challenge 2012 I have not practiced enough and getting seriously nervous. But my only goal is to have fun.. :) 

Slow blogger..

Not really the best blogger these days.. mainly because I don't really do that much exciting stuff anymore. But maybe I will be better. :) Lately I have been kitesurfing, working, hanging out with friends and taking care of Nani. She is growing like crazy! 9.7kg yesterday! I have put together a little photoalbum of Nani from 2 weeks old to 13 weeks for those who want to look at lovely puppy!

Another amazing Sideshore Kitecamp!

I just came home from another awesome kitesurfing camp with Sideshore at Prassonisi on the Greek Island of Rhodes!


The wind was a bit up and down, but we got some good sessions in every day. We also met so many amazing people and had a few great parties and afterkite sessions at the Mojito bar and hotel bar. And I think we must have set a new record of girls attending the camp! If I counted correctly, we were 15 (!!) girls! Fun to see that more and more girls are getting into the sport :)


I was really worried getting back on the water again after my shoulder injury, but it turned out it was the ankle that would give me the most grief. Anyway, getting the confindence back atleast and just staying away from unhooked fun for a while, but Karianne is back! I also had a few awesome sessions with borrowed surf board. I sooo miss Maui waves! Anyway, here are some pictures :)
