There’s not too many places on this planet that provide good snowboard terrain as well as good surf, but the Norwegian coastline is one of them.
The Arctic. The last frontier. A team made two epics trips for an expedition on and off land, merging the worlds of snowboarding and surfing. While searching for “Arctic Roses”, a metaphor of the quest the crew went on for good snow and good waves, we wanted to reinforce the connection we have with the elements – either on the mountains or in the ocean – with a combination of splitboarding and cold water surfing.The team started off their adventure in theLofoten islands,moved on to theLyngen Alpes and ended the trip in Riksgrensen during their annual bank slalom – getting to ride the quarterpipe under the midnight sun to wrap up the full Arctic experience was the icing on the cake.
