FIELD WORK
Our team was small. There was myself, James (our camera guy), Kenneth Danielson and Nic Hibdige. As this was a fixed week booked and not on a forecast we felt freestyle may end up being a priority as there wasn’t really any guarantee that we would get any wave conditions.The first few days we didn’t have a ny wind so we set about seeing the tourist stuff. I had arrived a week earlier with my girlfriend to spend a week travelling around with our cameras and for me to also check out all the islands for us to have a better idea in our second week with the crew on where to go.
So we travelled up mountains, across fjords and I showed the boys around some of the favourite places I had seen. We also got a bit of surf in Tjornavik, which is the main surfing spot in the north of the Faroe Islands.The Faroe Islands consists of 18 main islands. Most are accessible through tunnels but we also had to get the ferry service on a few occasions which is pretty straight forward. It takes about a maximum of one and a half hours to travel from the city to anywhere you would like to go and the roads are all fast and empty. The ferries range from 20 minutes to about an hour, so you will eat up quite a lot of time in the day if you want to venture to the other islands. The ferries also don ’t really go from island to island, so you would need to return back to the mainland to then go to another different island, so really it is one ferry trip per day if you want to spend some time on the island you visit.
