#tbt ...when you're throwing back on a Friday? Really?!⠀ ⠀ But this one... @acebuchan turning legendary even at these latitudes gracing #pebblebeach with his presence on September 28. I'd say, not bad for a goofy newbie at #torö ⠀ ⠀ Above all, it was such

Throwback to just about a month ago: to the special day we refer to as the 28th of September at #pebblebeach ⠀ A day that will be featured in issue # 24 of @nordicsurfersmagazine (available within two days!) as Joel Den-Besten brought an old mate to surf

The #balticsea is a strange creature. She has her odd ways and often plays tricks on us.⠀ Me, @j_d_b_ and @johanorrestedt went to find #waves ⠀ And so we did. But not where we expected them.⠀ Then of course, the #swedish climate decided to unleash its bad

Aaah, nostalgia... let's throw back at least three weeks to the legendary #Toröveckan. Here, @swedishwavefrother Love Berggren is throwing buckets all ovah the waters outside #pebblebeach I'm pretty sure that this is one of Love's last waves in Sweden bef

Thank you summer of 2016, it's been fun but flat. Now, let's see some waves. Could that be arranged swiftly? Thank you. Thank you, so much. Somewhere in this pic, @loveberggren is gasping for air. #torö #toröstenstrand #surf #surfing #surfsverige #sweden

#tbt to Tuesday July 12. The entire Pebble Beach was in a good mood. No #coldwaterstoke present, instead a semi-comfy summer day with the brackish stuff being heated to +17° C (62.6° F). @j_d_b_ managed to catch three waves before an unusually powerful t

You may or may not have to be Swedish to truly appreciate this shot. Manne – @emanuelhaglund – in the @654stockholm boardshorts! The water temperature? Around 62.6° F (17° C). The board is the Pine Cone 6'0 designed by Manne and @kejps for 654. And just

Aah, yes! A proper pop shuvit, brackish water style. And, of course, @timlatte nailed this one nicely. You will see the full sequence in the coming Torö Book. People ask me 'When?' I imaging shooting the last frame in September/October this fall. I cu

Pebble Beach with @freddiemeadows on April 7. Freddie, sporting a 5'4" board he'd never surfed before, even apologized to me for not being in best shape. I singled out this shot, as it's not one of the laybacks or airs that he threw on that day. It's j

Thursday was anticipated by all of us, ending that 2-week long flat spell. Lineup was stacked with competent surfers. With surprisingly cold water, guys feeling unfit and whatnot, only a few ripped. One such ripper had just returned home with a fresh win

Here's where I go when in need to breathe. It is of course Gotland, the limestone island in the middle of the Baltic Sea. This stretch of coastline, just north of the fishing village of Lickershamn, may not be my registered address; still I prefer to cal

When it comes to scenery, Norway simply can't be beaten. Shot across the Hjørundfjorden from the shore of Sæbø, the Sunnmøre Alps are a pretty pretty sight. The pyramid second right is Slogen, 1,564 meters high and one of the most famous mountains in the

When in doubt what to post here, I will always turn to my picture vaults to find a shot where @kaminmannen83 is tearing the swell outside Pebble Beach into tiny little bits and pieces. Why him? Partly because he is the kind of surfer who always delivers.

Of course, it's the Troll Wall in Møre of Romsdal, Norway. This is more or less the birthplace of BASE jumping and the tallest vertical rock face in Europe (we're counting about 1,100 metres – 3,600 ft. from its base to its highest summit).

Yesterday at Pebble Beach. The water was a notch below +2° C (yes, that's 35.6° F), which means that most locals traded their boardshorts for 6 mm rubber. Standing out, by catching more waves than anyone else before lunch and also by ripping harder, was D

In the words of Janice Dickinson: “I find the light and work it, work it, work it.” This is especially valid late afternoons at Torö in November. Picture from the 7th this month when @freddiemeadows was putting on quite the show at Pebble Beach. #swedis

Throwback to the 7th of October and my good friend @emanuelhaglund delivering a neat little layback snap at our fave Pebble Beach. The magic occurred only some 45 minutes before sunset, hence the weird light conditions. #surf #surfing #torö #nopalmtrees

Døds is one of my favorite sports ever, because it's so simple and awesome. You commit. You run. You jump as you'd attempt a bellyflop and then – at the very last second – you tuck into the shrimp position and crash smoothly through the concrete-like surf
