When the clouds form a table cloth on Table Mountain, you know the wind is strong! This was the case today, and the wind was somewhere around 40-45 knots! Only a hand full of brave souls go out kitesurfing in this weather, as it's more like fighting a war than anything else. And it's a war against nature that you can't win. And you don't want to. You don't even want to fight Mother Earth, you're just happy if you get the chance to try to harness her strength fo...

What an amazing night! We had a spit braai (barbeque a whole animal on a stick) with the Pietersen family. I've never experienced that before, and the meat was just soo tender and had a really nice taste! Made me feel a bit like a cave man or a true Swedish Viking when we cut the meat from the lamb and had the first taste to see if it was done. Such a nice group of people. Very real, humble, happy and nice! It didn't take me long to like them all a lot and they...

I looked out the window and saw a big school of dolphins swim by, and a woman paddling her SUP-board among them, she must have had the ti...

During the competition people brought out really old surfing gear and surf clothes which made it a lot of fun. In the picture you can see two of the best kitesurfers in the world; Aaron Hadlow and Kevin Langeree just starting up. They are truly awesome to w...

So yesterday we spent the whole day in the winelands again! Especially Franschhoek this time. Oh my, it's so beautiful there, and the South African wines seem to be made for my palate. The day was a mix between serenity, great wines, and a rock pumping car! Today I've held a kitesurfing lesson for Liquid Force. I was teaching a russian guy, a total beginner. The wind was powerful and he was quite nervous, which in turn made him stiff. After covering all the bas...
