YOUR warm flexible suit has been 60 years in the making and it all started with Mr Jack O'Neill and a PVC vest.

FOR one glorious day the drought broke, La Grav pumped as did every sand bank up and down the Frech coast.

© 2009 - Kyle Knight[PT-Nova Scotia / Cow Bay] Shot at The Moose, one of the more frequented spots in Cow Bay. It's a reef break. Haven't actually spent much time on it, but the few time that I have, had a tonne of fun. Occasionally it chucks some barrels. Nova Scotia winter surfing is insanely cold. by mid-January the water temperature is about 1 degree C, occasionally showing up as 0 degrees C. Air temp is all over the place. But on the worst days that I can remember from last season, peeps were going out in -25 to -30 with the wind-chill. Pure cold makes its very challenging. Fingers like to freeze and finger gloves just don't cut it. Blowing snow and rain reeks havoc on the gear. Ice covered rock beaches make wipeouts in insulated rubber boots a given. But most of all, the position of the sun. Mostly back-lit and short days. Nothing I can recall in the water. But I did get trapped on the bad side of a tidal lake in running shoes. The tide came in while I was shooting this shot and covered the rocks I had used to cross the stream. Ended up a foot and a half deep in frigid water - I purchased insulated rubber boots that very same day.Kyle Knight
