Description: 2.5 hours of sunlight, big tides, winter storms; not your ideal starting conditions for a mission. Regardless, it was what Hartkopp arrived to in mid-January. The plan had been clear for half a year, go to the Arctic in March when there’s snow and the skies are beautifully lit. An nontraditional winter storm made him splash the cash and chase Arctic swell in early January. The trip was documented in "Arctic Janaury," a short film produced by Kolltveit that won the Grand Prize at the Cold Hawaii Film Festival.

Movie info: The Arctic is typically not the ideal destination for a strike mission, especially in January when there's barely three hours of daylight, extreme tides and heavy storms.For this reason, Danish surfer Oliver Hartkopp had spent six months planning a trip to Lofoten, Norway in March – a time on the Norwegian peninsula where the beaches are blanketed in powder and the light is golden; the ideal dramatic backdrops for an Arctic surf film.But when Lofoten resident and surfer Hallvard Kolltveit called Hartkopp about an untraditional winter storm that would be sending swell to Lofoten in January, Hartkopp splashed the cash and headed up earlier than planned.The trip was documented in "Arctic Janaury," a short film produced by Kolltveit that just won the Grand Prize at the Cold Hawaii Film Festival.
