Famous Spots
The true hotspot for windsurfing and watersports in general is Varberg (at least in my eyes). This is where the sport has been growing through the years and still is. The local high school has windsurfing as a subject and northern Europe’s biggest surf shop (surfers.se) is located here. The two spots Apelviken and Läjet work all the way from southeast to northwest winds and is full of people when the wind is on. Here people live for the sea and watersports. It’s locally called the California of Sweden. My favourite directions and when the spots really come to life are on a hard southerly and a hard west-northwest forecast. I think the best sessions I’ve ever had are back home. On its day the conditions can be world class and to sail with your friends and the people that have been there your whole windsurfing life is something truly special for me. Everyone is so passionate and the atmosphere is incredible.
