Well I finally quit pondering and booked my trip to Iceland for May 1. As of yet, I have not found any local surfers online and, not shockingly, nobody from home seems interested in making the trip
So it looks like I’ll be solo for this one. I’ll bring back some pictures and stuff if I make it out alive, and if I die, sure been nice knowing yall and thanks for your help and advice over the years.
STOKED somewhere in Nebraska on my way to the west coast again,
Good luck, I’ll stick to the tropics. Its cold enough here on the central coast (CA), I wouldn’t want to be colder. I can’t wait to see the pictures though.
go for it! this is one of the places my wife and i want to do , we’re both geologists. anyway, have fun and lots of photos please—i hear the party scene is unreal…waves and hot springs, good combo
Regrettably, Iceland is one of the most expensive destinations. Petrol costs over $2 USD/liter, a pint of beer supposedly runs near $10, and even a simple cup of coffee could set you back a 5 dollar bill.
Reckon I’ll be drinking a lot of water and will lose weight on this vacation, but that’s OK … I’m gonna make it happen
I’m thinking of shaping another board to bring over if I have time, not for my use but just to sell to a local if somebody needs a new stick. I understand there are no surf shops there.
Perhaps a basic funshape of some sort … or a mini longboard … something most people could be comfortable on most days …
But only if I have time after finishing my gun …
