Surf-mates in Gothenburg - Hello
I'm doing a exchange in Gothenburg this spring (jan-may) and thinking of bringing my board with me. I know the waves are not that good in Gothenburg, but they are better than here in Finland.
It would be cool to find some surfers to go surfing around the area and share petrol costs(unfortunately I don't have a car). So if anybody's up for some surf, contact me.

cheers
Kasper
