the water was frickin' bone numbing cold. stupid cold. thought I broke my fingers off cold. One hour and I was done.... and I DO NOT GET COLD. Maybe I needed more than my 4/3.

Air -6 c
Water 0 c

Bunch of SUPsters and proners out, everyone was all smiles and stoke... there is a brotherhood when it's really cold.

a few pics I took this week, just to set the stage... surf shots are SUP friends that I surfed with today. I was colder than I have been in decades, but the wave were awesome.

Cape Cod Bay yesterday.... frozen solid for 30 miles


a local saltwater harbor.... feet thick ice


Surf check 2 days ago


Surfers heading out as I got to the beach today


Brendan ripping his Starboard Pro SUP today


Dave got a ton of waves today... another of the "over 65" crew showing the kids how to do it.


A little snow in the car park


Dave balancing on a plastic lid, on ice, getting changed after the session. One of the joys of cold weather surfing

Certainly harder life than wandering down to the beach in shorts and thongs
