Extreme Surfing: Cold Water
October 16, 2009
Big wave tow-in surfing is the epitomy of extreme surfing, but it’s not your only option. Thanks to improved technologies, you can surf in the coldest parts of the globe, varying your exposure to new waves in new places during different seasons. Xcel wetsuits of at least 5/4mm and Quiksilver Heat Vests will keep you warm if you’re looking to access new waves this winter.
The main advantage to going for colder waters is the lack of crowds. Unlike Hawaii or California, cold water peaks don’t attract just any Joe Schmo who wants to crowd the lineup for easy surfing without a wetsuit. They attract dedicated surfers who are willing to go to the extreme to find the best waves.
