Sweden - Kitesurf Session 62

While everybody goes South for the Summer, I went North for a two week trip in Sweden. Mostly driving through the West and Southwest coast, I managed to squeeze a couple of nice sessions (mostly at the end of the trip), Scandinavian style!
Being the second part of August, with the hot days already gone away until next year (the Scandinavian Summer runs from the end of May to the 15th of August), the rain was always not far away. But with the wind blowing constantly in the easy-living spot of Skanörshamn, I did like the locals and jumped into the water, despite the menacing clouds.

Pretty soon we were all ("all" meaning the four kites sharing this huge deserted spot) riding under a strong and very consistent rain! A very funny experience, I must say. And it wasn't even that cold, since I was only wearing my shorty...



Since we were going to roam around the Southwest tip for the next days before heading to Copenhagen, we chose to set the tent at the Habo Ljung camping site. A very nice choice, especially for kiters! A not very expensive and well equipped camping, "glued" to a beautiful spot and with a super kite friendly environment!
With the sun back on the horizon, it was time to dry all the gear and imagine the riding on the days to come in this "out of a dream" spot!
