Surfing With Sylvain

Over the last 8 days i have had to stay out of the water, thats right no surfing for me. I cut my foot & the salt water loves to stop it from healing up. So I had to take a long wait out of the water to let it heal. The good news is I got to do some yoga (try to do yoga alone Hmmmm) and take photos of everyone surf, witch I loved doing anyway so not that bad really. We had Sylvain staying with us at our guest house but I never got to surf with him till last night. It was his last night with us and I thought it would be nice to try out my foot and surf with our new friend.  Sara took the night off surfing and took control of the camera.  We had a great surf and Sara took some amazing photos of us <3 …

The Norwegian Super Grom

Our Norwegian sister is the newest and keenest surfer out off all of us (except for when it comes to early morning surfs). So we’ve got a new nick name for her – the super grommet.

What’s a grom she asked?

Wikipedia says:
A grommet (grom) is a young participant in extreme sports. Originally, a grommet was a surfer under the age of 16. In recent years, this has expanded to include other extreme sports, most notably skateboarding and snowboarding.

The super grom has been surfing everyday for the last month and we have seen a massive improvement, even in that short time. Its been cool to see the endless motivation and real stoke, after every surf.. At this rate she will be on the Norwegian world surf tour by the end of the year.. Keep up the good work super grom, you keep us motivated too.  🙂
