HURLEY PRO 2010

After being postponed twice this year, the Hurley Pro 2010 was finally held on the first weekend of November at the bay of Klimøtller. The waves were far from perfect but the DKK 5000,- offered to the winner shined the event, attracting surfers from several countries.
Viking team rider Oliver Hartkopp once again took out this years title and now has a great lead on the Danish Junior Ratings. Ollie didnt mind the cold water and shifting conditions and did a great job not only on the Junior division but also in the mens open division where he passed a couple of tough heats before bowing out in the quarters.
In the girls division Venezuelan surfer Narayana Monfleur once again showed her dominance in the sport and took this year's title, followed by Anna Larson and Josefine Lutzau.
Finally, in the open mens division the lone german in the contest, Jonas Bronnert, upset the local boys to take the DKK 5000,- home. The final heat was hotly contestable, with Dominican surfer Victor Rosario placing a close second, with last years champ Christoffer Hartkopp in third and local Casper Steinfath in fourth place. I had a bad day and lost before the finals, but im still holding the lead on the Danish Rankings.
After the contest we all met up in the NASA surf club for dinner and a ping-pong tournament, which once again was won by Jesper Mone.
I would like to thank the sponsors of the event Hurley and Lutzau real estate as well as the judges Mor and Mike for putting up such a nice event and pushing the level of Danish surfing.

Brainfreezers

The waves in Denmark are getting colder. Today I got the first brainfreeze of the season... it really hurts. Feels like there are bees inside my brain. We got some pretty sick shots though - comming soon! In the meanwhile my little bro, Jonas Wolthers - 13 yo - is starting getting familiar with the last foot of the longboard, in Brazil. This is on our dad's board, Viking Curuiser 9.8 shaped by Armando Jaguary.

Hurley Longboarderley 2010

The Hurley Longboarderly was held last saturday, the 22nd of August on the reef of Klitmoller, Denmark. The event was a great sucess and gathered the best cruisers of Scandinavia. I had the pleaseure to be judging and commentating the event alongside Hurley team rider Mor Maluco.
The waves weren´t epic, but still very contestable and all the competitors had a good time. Local knowledge proved to be the key element as Klitmoller´s favourite grommet Peter Stainfath, 14 won all his heats to take the Men´s open division title, leaving behind his older bro Casper in second place. In the Women´s division Hurley Team rider Vahine Itchner showed some progressive surfing to take the title. In the SUP expression session Casper Stainfath showed his dominance in the sport and took out the title.
After the contest we gathered at NASA surf club for some food and ping-pong comp. Even though Pinho gave it a good go and showed his Divisa skills, it was Jesper Freya who won the ping-pong tournament, defending his 2009 title.
Thanks to all the sponsors: Hurley, Sticky Bumps, Cult and NASA.

Secret Spot

Dad scored our backyard-secret spot - aka Johnny´s point - last week in Brazil. 55 years old and charging more than you.

Sophisticated Surfin'

Im back to Copenhagen facing the books for - hopefully - one last time before getting my uni degree. But Im really looking forward for the next couple of months as I´ll be travelling around Europe and doing loads of fun contests. For now check out this litlle clip made by my cousin Svenn Aage early last year for the night club/coffee bar Bikkini Barista, in Santos - Brasil. The idea was unite all concepts of the house: surf, coffee and party. Surfing in that thing was harder than I had imagined, but the coffee was so good.

Agger Situation

Summer in Denmark means small but very satisfying surf. Never before has the water been so warm here. Yesterday I had a nice little session with Mor Meluka, Ollie, Jonas “Muhh” and all the underground grommets at Agger. Thanks Simon Lauritsen, for the pics!
