Is there such a thing?
What Spot hold the biggest?
Who got the largest wave?
When?
Big wave comp?
I remember there was something but not quite sure what happened to it.

There is some "outer reefs" but the problem is that the wind pushes down the size.
Id say max 4 meter face occasional 5m. The only big wave comp was that nord big wave challenge. 4-6ft toro and that was it.

North East storms id say oland is the place to go.

"ERIK G would go..."

So are we talkin 12 to 15 footer are out there waiting. Anybody been held down by one of these in 10 degrees or colder?

Anybody got that link to the winner of some video big wave thingymagig

Öland norra grund mannen...eller varför inte Jungfrun....ännu osurfade båda två. Andra kandidater i Sverige? Dynan i Bohuslän? Kanske nåt för Craig?
Största jag surfat i Sverige är sovande revet på Öland, östkusten har större vågor än västkusten om man inte räknar norr om Göteborg. Jag har tyvärr ännu inte fått med mig nån upp dit av de slöa skånesurfarna. jaja...

FRANKERHAUSER BIG WAVE COMP 2006



Pumpa volymen till max o njut av AdisGlads fantastiska låtval.
Intressant slut med tanke på Ants skånedebatt just nu....

Norra Öland kan faktist på rätt dag ha lite kräm i vågorna men det krävs stora dyningar utan vind vilket är sällsynt. Tyvärr! Surfade runt 3m face där sist och då var knappt halva fetchen aktiverad. Knepigt ställe att förutsäga.

1 Fun idea as long as people dont take it too seriously
2 Cant tell You about my own candidates. Secret spots, sorry.
3 No idea
4 Very difficult to arrange in Sweden, a running format with videoproof is better.

Never seen anything near 12 to 15 foot in Sweden. If you mean double that in face height.
Only ever felt a little sick from a wipeout when extremely hungover in "big" surf in the middle of winter in Sweden

Try Norway for longer coldwater rinse cycle.

I'm pretty sure the place you lost your fin Craig, this winter, will hold up for at least +4m faces, I heard from the locals that it has been known to have 6m faces, I wouldn't go but some of the people in this thread might.

Have had a +3m (face) wave hold down in 4°C water for 10sec at my home spot, that was no fun at all, all alone and the sun had gone down, it took med 10min to decide to go in for another set or not, I did, but did not enjoy it.

Givetvis är det också svårt att säga hur stora vågorna är som man surfar. En mans 3m kan vara en annans huvudhögt eller 1.5m. En solig varm dag kanske vågorna känns mindre osv osv.

Hur upplever ni andra svenska surfares uppfattning av våghöjd? Skiljer det sig mycket mellan olika landsändar? Eller skiljer det mer beroende på hur länge och hur mycket utlandserfarenhet man har samlat på sig?

på vintern tenderar desutom holddown sekunderna kännas som en mindre evighet när man inte ens känner om det är vatten eller luft man har i fejjan.

Hur stor var den vinnade vågen, Vad ska man kalla hela session för storlek? Ska där bli en 2008FRANKERHAUSER BIG WAVE COMP?

Stor våg i vänern! Masten på båten är 6m hög +båtenshöjd över vattenytan.

Var har du hittat bilden?

Totally understand.

Sometimes it feels like hunting a Great white, or jaws or something. Putting in the hard yards searching, and not finding the taget. but then one day it jumps up and eats me.

Estas superdag vars bilder försvann från SS såg mighty ut. Borde kammat hem dubbla frankenstiener medaljer.
