Health Risks of Surfing in the cold

Yeah you could die don't go out anymore ever

 

this. totally not worth it.

 

I concur. Don't go out. Look up the grom from Rhode Island who wants to take a trip to PR. Pay his way to PR & you've got your very own board caddy for life.

 

Cramps and b@&$hitus

 

5 degree wind chill is no joke. I was out in 10 degree once and I got frozen inside a barrel. Had to wait 3 days for the wave to thaw and to be spit out. It was worth it though, the reaction on the beach to my epic barrel was priceless.

 

read one of the other 3 threads based on tomorrow's weather and the dangers of surfing in it. Way gnarly

 

jersey?...coming out of the barrel with used condom frozen to your face

 

Don't take mother nature lightly. I'll admit to being guilty of this in the past - more so in my younger days.
But I think if you have to ask if it's dangerous, then you shouldn't go out.

 

"That sounds great I'll have that"

 

No, no health risks you bozo but you will probably be cold. Will it even be good tomorrow? Should I be planning to surf? Right now I am not.

 

Useless thread. Come on! It will be cold you know!

 

The only thing that can come to my mind at the moment is surfers ear, and thats long term. Heres the wikipedia definition-Irritation from cold wind and water exposure causes the bone surrounding the ear canal to develop lumps of new bony growth which constrict the ear canal. Where the ear canal is actually blocked by this condition, water and wax can become trapped and give rise to infection. The condition is so named due to its prevalence among cold water surfers. Being from Georgia i dont have to worry very much at all about extreme health risks from the cold.

 

Don't encourage this behavior!

 

head high and clean in oc. doesnt matter what the temp is the lineups will be packed

 

you might grow a tail. but then again that may happen any time of the year surfing here.....

 

I heard you can get an inverted peenis when it's below 25f.

 

It'll reduce your chances of being the world surfing champ by 6.93% give or take 2.2% standard deviation based on assumed BMI based on the average hard charging east coaster. Does that answer your question?

 

Who would suspect surfing in the winter is colder and better, as for health risks , don't worry it's more sharky this time of year you won't have time to be sick.
