SurfGirl – Coldwater Sirens
Ever wonder why more women are embracing chilly winter waves?
Frost under my feet. Every breath fogs the air. I zip into my wetsuit and step into an ocean so cold it stings my skin and numbs my toes. This is one of my favourite times of year to surf. Are you game?
Outside it might be cold, but inside winter surfing ignites a glow that takes me out there every winter. All winter. Along with a growing community of surfers that share smiles from beneath neoprene hoods on the most bitter, howling days.
You see, coldwater surfing isn’t about location – or perfect waves. It’s a mindset. It’s about chasing the joy that waits on the other side of discomfort. Surfing waves in conditions that many people avoid. It’s about the neoprene armour, the raw beauty, and the empty lineups. The hit of feeling utterly alive.
