Iceland - Looking for that perfect wave

Looking for that perfect, unridden wave
 
“A vast, icy, volcanic world hidden away far up north”
They say all storms in the world originate in Iceland. A vast, icy, volcanic world hidden away far up north, surrounded by an untameable North Sea, forgotten by the world of windsurfing, except for when the odd, raw and often breathtakingly, beautiful photo, which occasionally makes it’s way into the media when an expedition heads out on natures coldest and most unforgiving windsurfing adventure...

It quickly became clear that the waves were a great deal bigger than they looked from land - in fact mast high peelers were rolling down the point and for the next two hours, Kai and Chris were dropping into the massive, clear blue waves, knowing this was exactly the place to be.
 
 

Big thanks to Rafn Emilsson and his wife Hjördis for lending us a place to sleep. And last but not least, thanks to all the fantastic locals who were following our trip and for supplying us with vital information along the way, without you, we would surely have lost our way.
