ROCK & RIDE
The Faroe Islands has the craziest landscapes I’ve ever seen! It’s a huge mass of volcanic rock, everywhere you look you just want to stop and take a picture as it’s so extraordinary. Each small town is so remote and untouched, it’s a whole other way of life there. For me the uncertainty of what to expect is what made the trip so appealing, I always dreamed of going on trips searching for any kind of possible lakes and breaks to sail or surf. We scouted out numerous spots in Google Maps and tried to find something that would be suitable for wave sailing which proved more difficult than expected. The landscape is just so different and raw, most of our hopes were shut down as a lot of the time all we could find were vertical drops of cliffs into the North Atlantic Ocean. There were plenty of spots for freestyle scattered over the islands so we managed to get some good sessions in different lakes and reservoirs. We did score a few days of small waves to surf, nothing world class but being in those seas was so captivating for me I just wanted to swim around even if there was just a ripple. It’s mind blowing to see those landscapes from the water.
