Biggest jump in many years!

Well this was not the kind of shots I thought I would be posting on my first day back in a park this year! haha  My plan to hit the mini park and warm up kind of got thrown out the window and instead this turned out to be the warm up kicker for the year! I will admit that I was freaking nervous to hit this the first time, but once Woodsy had guided me over it once with correct speed I just wanted ...

Some good and some bad news!

Lets start with the good news!  My bag is finally here! Jippi! The bad news is that I jammed my toe into the stairs yesterday and I am pretty sure I have a broken toe! I tried to go surfing this morning and if it was not for the fact that it was so incredibly nice out I would have probably just stayed in bed! Took a bunch of painkillers but it still hurt like hell whenever I stood up, so I was mos...

Chilling in Sydney

Today was a good day! 6am e mail session, 10am gym session, 1pm haircut session and then a 2pm surf shopping session. So now I am clean shaven, clean cut, almost ready to fly over to Hawaii to see Janni!  But first another day in the water here tomorrow! As you can see I have a pretty decent place to stay so no real stress to get out of here! haha What do you guys think, clean cut Mr Olsson or Slo...

Feeling good!

Another great day down under! Did not kill it trick wise as the landings remained super firm for some reson today. No idea why as the whole mountain was super slushy, but they did not soften up much today. With all the skiing I have done over the past week I felt that my body was not ready for bad landnings today, so I took about a million runs doing standard tricks as I figured that the more time...

The North Shore

So this is what I woke up to this morning! Had a long trip over with a delayed flight to Auckland so not much sleep on the way! But when you wake up to this its all good! haha Have rented a house right on Pipeline on the North Shore and I already love it here! Not really the season for pipe to go off, but I really wanted to see the place so went here anyway! Off to the other side of the island t...

B&W

I think Black and White describes this day pretty well! Some seriously crazy weather yesterday with rain flying sideways through the air making it hard to see anything out in the water! The fact that the size had doubled did not make things more pleasant… Had a few good beatings as wel. Such a crazy experience when you know you are in the middle of a beating and you just try to relax your whole bo...

Skiing with friends!

Looking back, I now see that I did one thing wrong last year! I went skiing alone without friends way to much! Having spent the last few days with all my old friends up here made me realize that whats skiing is all about! The fact that you learn stuff 10 times faster is just a bonus! haha So I think my winter plan is coming together more and more, I now know that I need to fly to where ever the bo...

Adventure week!

So this seems like its turning into full on adventure week! haha  Todays mission was a SUP session up Heliewa river. Not the most extreme activity, but still super cool as I felt like I was in a full on rain forest! Really loving the North shore and its chill vibe, I can only imagine how hooked I would be if there were waves! Maybe its good that its not as I would probably have a hard time leaving...

Jon Olsson

Loving it!

I have to say that I had high hopes of the North Shore of Oahu, but this exceeds my expectations by a lot, it might actually be the best place I have ever been to. I could totally see myself living here, I just love everything about this place! Started the day with a little surf session as the waves have started to grow a bit, drove around to look at a few other beaches, hung out in the house and ...

Jon Olsson

Surf break!

So its not all bad to have a bag lost, especially when that happens in Sydney! Met up with a few friends here and went straight from the airport to the beach! Was pretty decent size out there and after taking a few waves on the head I was wide awake from the long flight over! Super fun to get an unexpected surf session and I am pretty sure I will have time for another session tomorrow before I hop...

Todays WOD

With all the traveling over the past few weeks I have not been killing it on the work out side of things, tried to change that today! I have seen pictures of people running on the bottom with rocks so I asked Riley to take us to a good place to give it a try. Drove over to Waimea Bay and jumped in the water, was way easier than I thought, but the longer we tried to stay down the more exhausted I g...

Jon Olsson

Waikiki beach!

It does not get much more Hawaii than this, longboarding at Waikiki beach! Waves are pretty small on the North Shore this week so I think we will have to do some driving to find waves, I knew it was a little gamle to do North Shore at this time of the year, but luckily I have Janni and a million other things to do, so not complaining! haha Spent most of the day out in the water with Riley as the l...

Jon Olsson

Still here!

Thought I would have gotten my bags by now as they were set to arrive this morning. Latest info is now that they left Amsterdam last night (what the hell is is doing there?) So now they say its supposed to arrive tomorrow morning… As much as I love being down here I hate not knowing what is going on! Had another great surf session this morning and I have to say that I love every minute of it! The ...

Surfing thinking about skiing!

Sorry that I have been a little slow to get the blogs up the last couple of days, have been really tired both physically and mentally! Spent the day on the beach to get away from the computer to get my head back in the game and I think it was the perfect medicine! As much as I love being on the beach the last couple of weeks kind of change my head a bit, all I can think about now is skiing! I kind...

Answers part 2

And I am finally in the mountains! Felt so weird getting back in ski boots this morning but it was epic to get back on it again! Full storm out there today so had a bunch of runs in the trees and just played around! Super stoked to hang out here for a couple weeks and get my ski game back on point! Toe still hurts a bit so hoping it will get better for every day that goes by! Here goes Part ...

Mid Air!

Just woke up here in Sydney after a killer trip to Thredbo and Perisher! Had a couple more days planned up there but with a ton of rain on the forecast and a VERY sore knee I made the call to drive down with all the boys yesterday! Had a great ski day before that where I tried out a mid air selfie for the first time, super weird but at least I got a shot! haha Pretty windy so did not get to try an...

Popcorn and Uggs

Sometimes its good to just go see a movie, buy lots of popcorn and wear comfortable Uggs! haha Today was one of those days! Worked all day and when the ide of a movie came up I was all for it!  Unfortunately the movie (Maze runner 2) was one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time, but I guess that happens sometimes! At least the pop corn was really good! Got a ton of work out of the way to...

Jon Olsson

Surfing Manly!

Flying over here I did not expect to get any surfing opportunities as I was 100% focused on skiing. Turns out my bag is set to arrive tomorrow so this means that I will get 3 days of surfing before I head up to the snow. Not a bad alternative when you loose you bags! Staying at a friend of a frieds house down here and have been surfing with them. So funny that the gave me their biggest board thats...

Sun set barbecue!

Just had to show you guys a couple pics from last nights beach barbecue! We made a bonfire right on the beach below our house, grilled a bunch of hot dogs and just hung out for a few hours!  Cant think of a much better dinner location! Time to go jump in the water and find a couple new adventures! /JON

Long lens

So here are todays photo collection! Janni shot a few of me surfing and then I shot a few from our balcony, so cool to just sit up there with a 200mm lens and watch everything, not a bad place to live at all! Waves were ok in the morning but then it got super windy and to be honest its almost looked like (big) Swedish surf the last few hours! Super fun to jump in the water though but I am hoping ...

Pearl Harbor

As you know, I have said that I have traveled the world for the past 15 years and been super bad at doing anything else than sking (or surfing). As I am working on changing that we decided to spend the day at Pearl Harbor to make sure I saw something else than the tip of my board on this trip! haha Super cool to see all the old Battleships and Submarines and see how they lived back in the day. If ...

Surfing with great whites!

Just got back home after a fantastic day in the water! But just as I sat down on the couch I got THIS LINK sent to me. Turns out the video of the Monster Great White was filmed this morning about 200m from where I have been surfing all day! If I would have known that I would have set a new paddle speed record to the beach. I do not like to have great whites in the water when I surf! haha  Does not...

Jon Olsson

Mr park shredder!

The plan for today was to hit the big kicker but the wind was way to strong for that so we drove over to Perisher to hit the park there. I started the morning by coming up short on all three jumps as we had a massive head wind, felt like I killed my entire body so not the best way to start the day. But after a while I almost figured out the speed in the windy conditions and by the end of the day I...

Hawaii here we come!

And its flying time again! Have been such a sick trip to Australia with tons of skiing, a bunch of surfing and I even got to know a bunch of great new people! Could not have asked for a better trip down here! But in a few hours I am off to Auckland where I will spend the night before I fly to Honolulu in the morning! Have rented a house on the North Shore of Oahu so I am guessing this might be a d...

Jon Olsson

SUP Squatching!

If its one things I have always wanted to do since I saw it on Jamie Obrains Instagram (@whoisjob) its to ride a wave on a SUP Squatch! Its kind of a mix between a huge inflatable longboard and a small boat! haha You have 3 people paddling on each side and Jamie was steering in the back! Feels crazy when you jump into the water with this huge thing, but once the wave catches you, it feels amazing!...

Jon Olsson

Question session!

Thought it was time for a little question session, been a little slow in the comment field so thought maybe this could speed things up! haha So hit me up with anything you got! Computer day with a nice little evening surf at the end of it. Still no ski bag so “stuck” here in Sydney until tomorrow! Could be worse though! haha /JON

Jon Olsson

Unexpected plans…

When I flew down here my goal was to hit the park jumps and get better at jumping, but the whole time I was answering your questions I kept feeling a little weird about the fact that I am on a mission to hit medium kickers with no real goal with my skiing. Turns out the One hit wonder is taking place this week end and at first I had no intention of hitting that big ass kicker, but the more I thoug...

Jon Olsson

Morning walk with a view!

Now this is what I call a morning walk with a view! Getting a house right on the beach was a little more expensive then a few other alternatives, but when you have this and a bunch of good surfing right out front its worth every penny! Had an amazing walk with Janni and her dad and then I went surfing right out front with Jamie Obrian (Red Bull sponsored super surfer) who lives right next door. Ju...

Jon Olsson

Sharkes Cove

Maybe its not so bad to have a couple flat days without waves! Have never really done much diving before but yesterday we jumped in at Sharks Cove and I have to say that I loved it! I even dove down and into a couple reef tunnels which is one of the things that scares me the most, I just hate the idea of being deep under water with reef on top of me!  But Riley made me do it and once I popped bac...
