Surf's up - and freezing
" There are definite advantages to being a surfer in a place where 99 percent of the people think you're a lunatic for paddling out. Crowds in the water aren't a big problem. Plus, you get to experience moments that just don't happen in other parts of the surfing world - for instance, having your hair converted into a mane of ice dreadlocks from the freezing spray. Or maybe having a whole fleet of Coast Guard and State Trooper rigs come screaming down the beach in the middle of a really awesome four-foot day because someone reported a drowning man in need of rescue.
