Windsurfing Rentals in Sweden

Hi,

I will be traveling to Gothenburg, Sweden for travel this week and am trying to find somewhere where I can rent windsurfing equipment for a few days. I would love to find somewhere where I can bring the gear with me. But so far can not find anyplace which open during the week and only on weekends.

Sweden looks like a great windsurfing location due to the winds from the North Sea, but it seems most places shut down before the real winds pick up for the fall and winter.... Was pondering taking the ferry to Denmark to try the north coast of Jutland, but can not find any windsurfing rental locations their either.

Any thoughts.

Thanks

Lars

about sailing spots, rentals, conditions in Denmark you may ask Mads who sails there...try Mads Glensdal on Facebook or here...

It would be great if you can post here what you find from Mads, and how soon did you get info.

I was able to find equipment in Varberg, Swede, at a place called Fahlensurf. Henrik Fahlen, the owner, was very accommodating and had a full quiver for me to use.

Gale warnings were in effect. Here are some pictures which were taken that day.
