Amazing event - amazing team

The Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup 2014 ended Sunday night at 8:12 p.m., with Thomas Traversa as the winner. Second was Victor Fernandez. Robby Swift and Leon Jamaer shared third place. Prior to the prize giving, nothing less than a high drama occurred Sunday in Klitmøller. 

In the weeks leading up to the event, Cowork Klitmøller served as the hub for all preparations. Having many of you in the house has been fun for all of us. Thank you for the good vibes, and by all means, swing by the next time you’re in Klitmøller. 

Mette took some pictures of the team - find them here (click to browse). 

Being responsible for all media in conjunction with the Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup, I have had the privilege to work with nothing less than an amazing team. I can honestly say that we’ve made this event the best possible experience for anyone with an interest in following and understanding a World Cup in windsurfing wave performance. 

Thanks to Ole Svarrer, Michael Breinhild Johansen, Andrea Hoeppner, Benjamin Greve, Julia Lauber, Florian Gebbert, Tobias Abt, Nils Bade, David Strüning, Frank Frese, Chris Yates, Ane Cecilie Scheel, Simon Reeve, Maja Tarp, John Carter, Jacob Thorn Jensen, Jeppe Svendsen, Jeppe Søndergaard, Pedro Bjerregaard, Silas Thorn Jensen, Martyn Kent Francis, Sebastiaan Van Den Berg, Ben Proffitt, Justyna Sniady, Andre Gothe, Alicja Cupial-Nurnberg, Roberto Hoffman, and Ole Sørensen. As part of a fantastic team, you’ve done a fantastic job.

Gæster på Cowork

Den sidste uge har der været travlhed på Cowork
Op til årets Cold Hawaii Worldcup har vi haft ekstra mange gæster på kontoret. Der har været hektisk aktivitet, en masse udstyr og trangt omkring frokostbordet. Det har været sjovt og inspirerende at mødes på tværs af nationalitet, baggrund, alder og profession. Interessen er allerede rigtig stor for konceptet, og vi håber, at rammerne med tiden kan gøre det muligt at åbne dørene for endnu flere coworkere med endnu flere spændende ideer.

A touch of Klitmøller revealed

Revealed — the package to our ambassadors contained a small bottle with sand from a selected Cold Hawaii surf spot, a little Klitmøller marram grass, one “Come to Work” Sex Wax, a voucher for one month's stay at Cowork Klitmøller (a really early bird ambassador treat) and Cowork Klitmøller business cards for hyper-local distribution — quite simply, a touch of Klitmøller. The revealer was Pedro Reis from Colab Óbidos. He put it out there — right out in the open on his Facebook.

Pedro is the founder of CoLab Óbidos, located on the first floor of an old farmhouse just above the market street that leads to the main gate and the village of Óbidos. He’s a designer, innovator, nomad, and surfer and one of the many people we have encountered in our efforts to create a matchmaking zone in Klitmøller. Now he’s also an ambassador for Cowork Klitmøller. We look forward to seeing Pedro (with friends and family) in Klitmøller and going to Portugal to visit them.

Det er en livsstil

Af og til er det bare godt at se noget, hvor nogen ser det hele udefra og fortæller historien sammehægende. Hvor der meget her, som minder om de valg, jeg selv har truffet.

Trend- og livsstilseksperten, Mads Arlien-Søborg rejser ud i verden og undersøger, hvordan det er at bo og leve vildt og anderledes. Han taget til Norge for at tilbringe et døgn hos en ung familie i den lille by Hemsedal. De er gået mod strømmen og har valgt at flytte fra by til land for at kunne leve med deres store lidenskab, skisport, helt inde i boligen - bogstavelig talt!

Klitmøller er genialt - siger Euroman

Som nogen måske har bemærket, ligger Klitmøller relativt lunt i denne måneds udgave af E-matrixen, dvs. i det nordøstlige flet (finkultur) helt ude øst på skalaen over ting, Euroman mener er geniale. Modsat – under mest latterligt – ligger tangoterrorister på Balders Plads og Dating Naked.  Bare en observation … her sidst på dagen.

Til dig, der ikke ved det: Euroman har det, de kalder E-Matrixen. De beskriver den som “Euromans uforbeholdne, ufuldstændige og uforudsigelig analyse af tidsåndens rastløshed.” I matrixen placerer de løbende alt muligt i fire felter, og kategorisere…

Til dig, der ikke ved det: Euroman har det, de kalder E-Matrixen. De beskriver den som “Euromans uforbeholdne, ufuldstændige og uforudsigelig analyse af tidsåndens rastløshed.” I matrixen placerer de løbende alt muligt i fire felter, og kategoriserer det dermed som mere eller mindre genialt hhv. finkultur (nordøst)/lavkultur (sydøst) og mere eller mindre latterlig finkultur (nordvest)/lavkultur (sydvest). 

Yes, kløgtige folk HAR for efterhånden en rum tid siden påpeget, at E-matrixen er en kopi af The Approval Matrix i New York Magazine, som er en kopi af noget andet, som er en kopi af noget tredje ...

Anyway, I dette tilfælde holder det: Klitmøller ER genialt. 

A touch of Klitmøller

Today, we sent out a little package or "touch of Klitmøller" to our 20 ambassadors. If you want to know what's in it, well, you'll have to chat with one of them.

Cowork Klitmøller is all about the fact that we want YOU to visit Klitmøller more often. Hopefully our place will make it easier for you. When you're here, we'd like to get to know more about you, your ideas and basically the things that make you get up (early) in the morning.

When you come, we will find a work-space for you. If surfing is part of the reason, we’ll tell you what we know. If you dig the great nature we have up here, we'll point you towards our little secrets too. 

We hope to see you soon in Klitmøller. 

Project application submitted to Realdania

Today it happened. Today we today submitted a project application to Realdania, under the program Places Matters. It is the culmination of a long process and one more step in our efforts to create an open-ended co-working space or “a matchmaking zone" in Klitmøller. 

As mentioned earlier, we are one of over 20 projects and we may or may not receive funding to realize our idea. We believe that ours is a good one, and, hence, that we have a fair chance of getting through the next needle's eye. If we do, we have come significantly closer to turning the first sod for what eventually will be the next version of Co-work Klitmøller. 

There will be an elaboration of what we have delivered today –  this is just to mark a milestone in the Co-work Klitmøller history.

Cowork Klitmøller Loppemarked

På årets nok varmeste dag afholdt vi loppemarked på Cowork. På trods af konkurrencen med stranden havde vi faktisk mange gæster, og der blev solgt og snakket en masse. Saftevandet var i høj kurs, og der var nok mest gang i børnenes legetøjsbod. Men der blev også solgt både genbrugstøj og kollektionsprøver, postkort, indrammede billeder og meget andet.
Tak fordi så mange kiggede forbi! Vi glæder os til at invitere indenfor en anden gang. Se billederne fra dagen her
