i dream aboot water temps that high!

 

Water temp regularly gets down into the mid 40's during winter in the south, so that doesn't seem so bad.

 

cool documentary about surfing on the east coast this winter. thanks for sharing.

 

haha, i wonder if these "pro" surfers were like "sh**, why couldn't we get sent to indo?"

if you're traveling on your own dime to friggen Norway to surf, you are one jaded surf traveler. granted, i would love to check out some of those mysto frigid pointers way up thurr, but shoot man it's COLD. i get plenty of COLD at home. i wanna surf a nice machine-like wave in crystal blue water, paddle through the reef keyhole back to the beach or hop back on the panga outside the lineup, and crack a cold one after a nice troppo session. or if them waves are good enough, eat a sangwich on da boat, then paddle back out for a few more balmy barrels. after all is said and done post-surf session, i want to look at tail in skimpy clothing. that ain't happening at the 65th parallel or wherever these guys are at.

 

Yo Veruca I know what you be sayin..
Man I could swore one of the dudes at the inlet last weds was you..I think you even mugged me..ah you can't say what's up?

 

last wed...uh...inlet. not me man. i avoid manasquan inlet at all costs. the last place i surfed was spring lake and that was two Fridays ago, i think. dang, it's been a while since i surfed. maybe some swell this weekend?!

 

Which one is it guy, 35 or 45? 45 is what the water Temps been in myrtle Beach so...

 

It's actually a dream of mine to head someplace like this to surf and see the northern lights in the same trip. Heard that every couple years you can see them from nova scotia. Or maybe it was certain part of the year. Can't remember. One day.

Sure tropical places are warm. Obviously. But places like that seem more adventurous. Exploration off the beaten path ya know

 

capecod has icebergs at lowtide

 

Some of those cold water spots i have seen the most amazing slabs and point-breaks and nobody is out. When NJ is going off i barely mind the 35 degree water and even cold air temperatures. The best thing is that your all alone where most tropical spots that are world class are infested with brazilians and other annoying packs of surfers and sponges. Id love to surf Alaska, Nova Scotia, Greenland, Norway but tropical is just easier and more relaxing for a vacation

 

crawled up a dune and through 3 ft of snow about a month ago! completely alone except for about 200 bird on the water! was very geared! when I was leaving I saw a bald eagle drop a Canadian goose from 100 ft in the air! positive it was a eagle as it swooped down and was near its prey! I left it be and started my car heater! best day of this **** winter!

 

eagle wasnt as hungry as he thought i guess

 

gear today can handle anything. But I guess there is entertainment value in videos like this for people who aren't aware of of that fact.

 

"i'm a cold water fanatic"

lol nigga if you think 45 degree water is harsh you can't be that much of a so-called cold water fanatic.
