Surfers of Lofoten E1⎢The First Addicts

The First Addicts
Lofoten and Unstad has become a well known surf place, and a bucket list destination thanks to it’s special scenery, cold water and good waves. But how did surfing in the arctic really start? And how does the increasing tourism and crowds impacts the surf community?
Surfers of Lofoten
Lofoten Islands is a popular travel destination. Mick Fanning has been there. Chris Burkard the same. But for some people Lofoten is the normal life. The closest wave. The home break. The every day life. Surfers of Lofoten is a web series about the local surf heroes of Lofoten Islands. The ones that live there chasing the arctic swell in cold water.
Surfers of Lofoten is presented by DNB, co-sponsored by Surfshop.no, Arctic Coworking Lodge, Asenne, Sugar Daddies Co and Unstad Arctic Surf and produced by Birkelund Media and Surfnorge.

Beautiful overview! We had a similar movement here in northern poland (baltic cold surf) as here bigger waves are only in the winter, but they're not as "easy" to catch as ocean waves so for me it was frustrating. And two weeks ago I had the best surf day of my life in Lofoten (Skagsanden) - amazing place to enjoy being on the water!
