The beach is calling! Even though it’s winter. Summer’s glow is just a hazy shimmer in the rear view, hovering just above the horizon, getting ready to dip below the lush rolling green hills in the distance signaling the onset of winter proper. Ugh, winter! We can positively feel the shudders permeate from where you’re sitting. The very thought of stepping into wet, cold rubber, all the while contemplating why you’re doing this, is the stuff of bad dreams for some. Immersing yourself in Baltic cold brine and doing battle with Mother Nature, as she chucks a load of full power juice onto shallow low tide sand banks and reefs, however, is exactly the reason – and one we can all associate with.
Crisp winter’s day surfing.
That first liquid wall you slide into all thoughts of cold are lost to the onset of warm fuzzy stoke. And to boot, the clouds have parted, the sun has got his hat on and what was once a cloudy, mizzly start has given way to a much more appealing day – crisp winter surfing: you just can’t beat it.
Watersports of all descriptions are simply better during winter. Whether you be surfer, bodyboarder, stand up paddler, windsurfer, kitesurfer, waveskier or you’re simply happy to mooch along clifftops and lose yourself among giant dunes, breathing in that sea air/taking in your stunning coastal surroundings; life is better in the off season. After all, there’s no such thing as the wrong conditions – just the wrong attire. The beach is calling. As we say…
