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

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