We went over to Norway for the Wave Loch wave machine in Telemark
Sommerland. We were there with a group of guys to ride the wave
machine with these new boards. It was Terje, Jamie Lynn, Peter
Line, Reto Lamm, Brock Little, Mack Dawg, and Brushie.
The day we arrived they turned on the water pumps in the wave
pool and the coating on the bottom of the pool ripped right off.
This screwed the whole thing. Wešd planned to do some snowboarding
after, but then was just like "What do we do now."
Telemark gave us a van to drive up to Stryn because they were
so bummed that all these people had come and no one got to ride
the wave.
Terje said, "Let's go to Stryn." It was like the middle
of June and he said they still had tons of snow and that Styrn
was going to make some pipes for everyone.
So we drive all the way up there and we get to the restort and
it was one of those years where there was so much snow that none
of the normal hits were there and they hadnt built the pipe yet
and there was nothing to shoot.
The end of the day we knew bad weather was coming in and these
guys were saying it was going to be days before anything was built
because wewere early. We werestanding there trying to figure out
what to do and someone said "Why donšt we jump over the road."
They fixed alittle jump and fixed the landing. I forget who went
over it first to check the landing. I think it was Terje. Immediately
they started doing insane jumps. A little bit of light opened
up just as the sun was going down. They stopped jumping and we
drove back down to our little camp and it rained for the next
four days. After that we packed up and went home.
