“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. Regardless of where you were born, however, every surfer should appreciate the resolve it takes to suit up and paddle out in a snow storm or trudge through snow banks to get barreled.
