Surfin Sweden

Magnus Wennman

Aftonbladet

Surfin Sweden. Freddie Meadows is one of Sweden's best surfers. He has competed for Sweden in three WC and one EC. Not bad, coming from a guy who still is to young to legally buy alcohol in Sweden. But despite his success, he is far from a public surfing hero. Few Swedes have seen him surf. Even fewer have talked to him. He spends his winters in surfing paradise Costa Rica, but during summer time it's all about his mom's house in the southern part of Sweden, Skane. The contrast between the crystal clear water in Costa Rica and the muddy banks in Sweden is big.
