TOR BEGONIA.
Last year when we traveled to Norway and Sweden to shoot Uncommon Ideals, we traveled aboard a DFDS ship called the TOR BEGONIA that was transporting freight from Immingham to Gothenburg. Being on a 'real' ship, a working ship is an experience, an amazing experience. We had a tour of the engine rooms, a behemoth that is so colossal I can't begin to describe it, we spent time in the mess eating great food, chatting to weathered sailors that wouldn't be out of sorts in a Kerouac tale, helping ourselves to a overstocked fridge, where the find of the trip was the banana-chilli-sauce (another story). But constantly I was drawn to the bridge where thousands of square miles of empty North Sea, rigs, fishing boats, coast guard's messages, weather reports, stories and bottomless cups of great coffee passed hours and hours on those two trips. If you ever get the chance to spend hours on a bridge take it, I was enthralled.

Shred Sled Society.



We fired a couple of questions over to the good guys at the Shred Sled Society based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
OK, so what's the Shred Sled Society all about?
We're four guys. Bo, Simon, Mikkel and Mathias. We all grew up skateboarding and snowboarding in the winter. Simon and Mikkel are working to become cabinetmakers and Bo and Mathias work with graphics.
We've been surfing for some years now trying to make the most out of the sloppy Danish conditions. We’ve been riding all kinds of different surfboards and recently started experimenting with our own shapes. The Shred Sled Society is all about having fun, being creative and making the most out of what we've got. We find that to exist as surfers in Denmark means adapting, it’s quite a different picture to the one the international surf media portrays. We show what being a surfer means to us.
Nice, favourite North Sea surf spot?
Agger, Thy and Plantagen, Zealand, Denmark.
What are you guys riding right now?
Boards that go well with our small windblown waves. Pretty much everything from 4’8" mini-Simmons to quads, thrusters, single fin discs and logs. It's all fun.
Sum up surfing in Denmark in three words?
Strange, Fun, Addictive
