Lomma Beach House is the headquarters of Kite.se, the biggest kite surfing school in southern Sweden. It was built mostly by friends all with the common desire to have a place where everyone and anyone would feel welcome to come chill out, relax and converse with like minded people.
When the wind is good, the house is used for kite courses, and when the sun is shining we are selling ice cream and beach food to the public.
No two days are the same, but the morning breakfast ritual is firmly in place. We arrive out at the beach, perhaps go for a quick wake up swim, then settle in for a glorious breakfast the Swedish way. Coffee machine humming, an array of cereals, yoghurts and fruits, followed by soft and hard breads topped with caviar, cheeses and cucumber. It’s a feast for kings and time is taken to enjoy each mouthful, and to soak up the early morning sun on the deck. One would have to try very hard to have a bad day after a start like this.
The house is staffed by young travellers recruited from the HelpX website. It is much like the set up we used at El Elefante Amarillo, with the Work Away volunteers.
Take two French girls, two Spaniards, an Irish girl, a good handful of fresh young Americans and any Swedes that happen to be lying around, mix together with a generous helping of spontaneity, leave to cook a while in a sauna and you have a fail proof recipe for madness.
