Leon surfing at Vejbystrand

Proud aunt I am. Yesterday we went searching for waves around the coast of Ängelholm, Sweden. There’s a surf school at Vejbystrand and Leon had heard there are some good waves there from time to time.

There are stones closest to the harbor. We went a bit further south where we saw a guy and his daughters equipped with a SUP and surfboard. We had a small chat with them to get some insights to the conditions and learnt that there aren’t any currents there. Perhaps more towards the harbor but here we’re quite good.

The waves were kinda mini-sized. So not a lot to catch. But Leon did a great job considering the conditions. The SUP-guy told us when the wind is North there are some good waves closer to the harbor.

We had parked by the harbor. Went to pick up the car so we didn’t have to carry all the stuff all the way back. It’s not THAT far. But after surf muscles tired hehe. We thought about checking out the inn right there but went for burgers at Bakfickan by the harbor. They were super-friendly. Shared that they had just opened up the day before. And the burger place opened at 15 to start serving burgers. That’s when we got there. So perhaps we were the first burger-customers 🙂

Leon told me he bought his second board from a guy living at Vejbystrand. We didn’t encounter him yet. Perhaps next time 🙂

Next time where do we go? We’ll see. On the west coast there’s also Kåseberga. And on the south-east coast we’ll find a few more options: Vik, Kivik (we’re gonna check out the. new place Coffee and Waves), Knäbäckshusen.

Me? Did I surf? No not yesterday. I felt like being the cameraman and mostly observing instead. Went in the water a bit though to swim with Leon after the surf. But I was content just watching Leon surfing. For this time. Next time. I’m in. My physical situation is not as good as when we went to Portugal. It’s been a few months now without activity (cuz I got sick 11 March. corona. 2 months. still haven’t gotten back in shape.. going slow. very slow. need some new stomach muscles please.)

Here are some pictures.
