Surfen

In my opinion, November is the perfect month to skip waiting for the season’s first powder and instead escape to the tropics to drink endless coconuts fresh from the tree and surf waves that are usually even less crowded!

The title "Ocean" says it all: we are giving away tickets for the International Ocean Film Tour 2026, a diving experience full of surf action, expeditions and stories of the ocean on the big screen in numerous cities in Europe!

Whether the designers K Hagberg / M Hagberg had any idea that they were creating part of the basic equipment of many athletes when they created a shopping bag for the Swedish furniture giant decades ago probably remains their secret. What is no secret is that their Frakta creation is now an integral part of climbing gyms, bike park parking lots and many other sports facilities. That's why the blue and yellow all-rounder at a competitive price is more than deserving of our Gear of the Week this week!

The Lofoten Islands are no longer an insider tip for most people living in the Alps - but they are still a highlight for every continental skier. With long days and guaranteed snow, the Easter period is ideal for a trip to the steep island kingdom. But low budget? In the unaffordable Switzerland of the north? Yes, it works - provided you have a bit of luck, skill and a vehicle. Four cold- and odor-resistant students have tried it out.

Surfing in Africa - we've known this at least since the first part of the cult film 'Endless Summer', in which Robert August and Mike Hynson travel the world in search of the best waves as prototypes of the modern surftraveler. Since then, there have been plenty of reasons in the relevant circles for a trip to the west coast of Africa. But why not combine it with a descent on frozen water and use the time without waves to skin up a four-thousand-meter peak? Nothing unusual in itself, as the High Atlas has plenty of high mountains. We set off on a journey to a country with plenty of sun, desert, heat, foreign culture, exotic food and unfamiliar scents - and almost 3500 km of coastline and a high mountain range.

In the final part of Zach's winter extension in Norway, we go from the icy cold waves to the early summer glacier snow in the ski resort of Stryn for a summer ski finale.

Hoddevik makes even the quietest of surf towns look like a bustling metropolis. With a population of 19, the largest concentration of it being at Stad Surfing, we found ourselves at one of the most peaceful and relaxing places imaginable.

Slideways is a four-part series in which Wolle Nyvelt, an Austrian snowboard pro from the Zillertal, wants to explore the "soul" of his sport. The series is broadcast on Fridays on Servus.tv and is available to watch online afterwards.

The life of a surfboard consists of two epochs: Under the feet of a surfer and then in a landfill site. Unfortunately, the time spent in a landfill easily surpasses the time spent under a surfer's feet. "The Present" is a gift and shows why the present lies between the past and the future?
