After finising our filming in Tamok and Lyngen for this years HIKE project we were heading southwest towards the infamous Lofoten islands. Our dream was to get perfect snow and waves in the same day. Well, dreams dont always come true perfectly at the first try… By the way the water there is frigid (6 celsius) but the golfstream also brings a lot of wet and kind of warm rainy weather. During the drive to the lofoten the sun was shining but than we got stuck there in some bad weather for a few days. Here some impressions from that trip and a little clip we made about our  `snowboard and surf the same day´ mission…

For the last week we got a good S/SW swell making us surf 5 to 6 hours a day. The surf forecast for our remaining last  week in mexican summer is looking small and we are getting ready to move on for climbing and snowboarding some vulcanos in Ecuador with the crew from the summits4kids project.
From board shorts and paddling in warm water to winter gear and hiking up to over 6000m peaks in the snow. What a trip!

a nice last summer swell made us surf all day

tropical snow and ice are waiting for us, that is one of the vulcanos we want to climb in Ecuador, the Cotopaxi
