| NOPE!
When I was a teenager, I used to surf Old Gulf Beach with just baggies on... no wetsuits.
That's about as cold as I ever wanted to be. | |

| Crazy! You'd have to be pretty determined to pull that off |

| No way... like Eric I used to surf pb to panama city... some of the best was winter. It took quite a buzz to endure that. | |

Yeah, we'd surf in the winter with just baggies. I fondly remember coming in and sitting in the car and hitting a bottle of brandy to get that warm glow, then going back out. | |

| I still surf fish in the winter and usually wind up in trunks sandfleaing and wading out to throw... it hurts just thinking about it. | |

| I jumped on a piece of ice floating on Lake Michigan when the wind chill was -70.. YES, I was drunk and YES, I slid across the ice and fell in the lake.. I managed to get out and my clothes were frozen solid before I could take 3 steps.. Friends loaded me into the warm car and eventually I could undress and get naked... | |

| "The surfers are suffering more." Uh, nope, they've got the better end of the deal…they are surfing~~~~!
That said, when the waters drops below 70, I am whining like a girl in a 3mm wetsuit. I can't imagine how cold they are…and then there are those rocks.
Holy cow, though what a place, what a wave, what water….
Great share, thanks! | |
