Lofoten Islands with Tom Carroll
I have never surfed, snowboarded and SUP surfed all in one day!! “Intense overload of stimulation” is an understatement. Our first day was a real window into Lofoten Isd surf/mountain freeride lifestyle potential. I was absolutely exhausted by the time the sun had gone down we ended up in Tommy Olsen’s beachside sauna in the snow. Super exotic experience for me.
Tommy and Marion from Unstad Arctic Surf were wonderful hosts pouring love into each mouthful of food and attentive care and humour into all activities, never ever a dull moment! Finally I have to say a massive thank you to SurfEars, Christian & Magnus for making the whole journey into the Arctic circle possible!!

Slippery roads created a need for a good team effort.
IN COD WE TRUST – Lofoten street art. January trough April is the main fishing season for arctic cod. Marion from Unstad Arctic Surf spoiled us every night with fresh cod and other local food cooked in a traditional Norwegian manner.
Christian, the inventor of SurfEars, finds his rhythm at Unstad right.
