“Chill, it’s just a little snow.” Not something you often hear before surfing? For some, it’s a seasonal occurrence, while for others, it can be a nightmare incarnate. Covering every inch of your body with thick, seemingly bullet proof neoprene can be a tedious and undesirable task. If you were born in warmer climates, it may not be one you aspire to either.
