yeah! end of the season and another 1^st! after a full week of waiting in the snow and rain organizer jarkko hennttonen and his crew finally managed to hold the contest up here in the beautiful tamok valley in nothern norway. the bad weather kept us from going to one of the sick and big faces we saw, but everybody found his challenge on the contestsite. check out www.arctixtamok.com

big hands to jarkko, ode and the crew!!

after the event, mitch tölderer, bibi pekarek and me rented a motorhome and went on a search for powder and waves with photographer xandi kreuzeder. 3 degrees water tempearature, no people around and an unreal scenery made this trip a unique experience, even though we hardly ever saw the norwegian sun.

the crew...proven frindship all aound the world.

tamok valley, in the sun for once.

wating for the coontest, norwegian style.
