im from north germany
here we have isles like sylt (to the pacific) and spots like hvide sande , klitmöller etc. in west denmark, but i dont think there are like great barrells and opportunities


Los, wat4zz?
Ich weiss Ihr region von experience and have very gute Freunde geboren and raised in Sylt. Among the locations you identified (Sylt, Hvide, Sande, Klitmöller), there are rarely any barrels. Heck, you have to get way beyond Sylt's mud flats to even get waist deep in water.

Keep the stoke and make surf safari to Spain, France, or Portugal. Or, save your Euros up and go to California or Hawaii!

Tschüss!

True. When the stars align maybe 5x a year. Maybe.

I beg to differ. The West coast, where people surf, has deeper water. If you call an average depth of 95m "deep". The mud flats ("Wattenmeer") are between the mainland and the island.

Do you want to sound cool or do you really talk like this in real life?

Sylt - depends on Tide and Swell direction. Baakdeel, Brandenburger Strand; Buhne 16, Tetrapak. Once or twice a year for a few days.

Anywhere during Family vacations with my daughter, so far France (Landes), Spain, Scotland. Andalucia (April) & probably Ireland (July) this year.

Anywhere I can combine it with business trips (San Onofre and Imsouane this winter). No luck with waves in SanO, no luck with Health In Marocco this winter, though. Last winter was much better.

My "homespot" Scheveningen for daytrips if the stars align for some waves and spare time. This is not the case very often (2-3 x /year)

no i dont want to sound cool. when i say homie, i mean from the same planet (home) and when i say brother, then because we are all brothers.
but at the end of the day its irrelevant if you say brother, sister, mother, father, neighbour, human, animal or whatever to someone, because it's the same consciousness in different bodies, perceiving itself in a colorful way
im not a hip hop fan or something like that, i think most of hiphop/rap is retarded if you ask me^^
but today i may talk like this and tomorrow i talk differently.
sometimes i talk straight action man and sometimes like a kid or baby,
enjoying many facets of happyness

was at K4 (sylt) swimming, was very nice and fulfilling
bodyboarding in westerland and kampen a few times.
we were very very often in sylt
ireland is nice, where exactly you go in ireland and where you was in scotland/how was the surf?

About as barrely as Sylt gets on great days. Requires that groundswell remainders from the North find their way down past Norway and Scotland on the same time as the normally dominant westerly wind dies down. You need to get very luccky to be there on that day. It never lasts long.

In Scotland we were in Belhaven Bay and Pease Bay. It was astonishingly nice, but it was our first year and we were not good enough to make enough out of the opportunity. And the water was cold in summer (12°C).

No firm plans for Ireland yet. Somewhere Southwest, probably Brandon Bay, Inch or so. I would combine it with Golfing.

homie /ˈhəʊmi/ an acquaintance from one's town or neighbourhood, or a member of one's peer group or gang.

All right then, I sort of understand what you are trying to say. Hiphop/rap is retarded, but you sometimes use the
verbiage ?

yaa if i wanted to talk like a girl i would do so.
look at unconditioned kids, how they play these or that role or look at people in carnival, they have alot of fun playing roles
if i want to swing my hip from left to right 'like a woman', i do that because i get a lot more hip movement and flexibility through that, even if people would consider me gay or 'too confident'(absurdity right?).
i think stereotypes are energy waste, it's better to not fall in the 'buy me im perfect, i will stay that way and be your one and all forever'-trap, right??
