I love all your photo's they are awesome. Looks very cold, but such beautiful pictures.

Thanks Liz. When it gets this cold, it's actually way warmer to be in the sea. It's the getting out again that's a problem!

Beautifully rendered shot, with truly remarkable composition; black and white is a very demanding medium, since you never have the option of glossing over any weaknesses by tweaking the color saturation, or tint. On the other hand, it can engage the viewer a little more deeply than color, which can put him in the place of having to make decisions about the photo that he might otherwise avoid making. I liked this shot immensely, the first moment that I saw it. Nice job.

Ahh yes, nothing says "Come on in, the water's great" like snow and ice on the beach

In Nova Scotia? By the end of January its down to zero degrees celcius mate (obviously salt water freezes at lower than zero) and that's where it stays until about the beginning of April. You've no idea how awesome it is to see a big number 2 in the water temp reading on the forecast haha.

6-4 wet suit over fuzzy divers' vest and rash guard; 7 mil boots with divers' boot socks inside; thick lobster gloves; surf until loss of consciousness (about 2 to 3 hours).

Crazy, yes, but not because I like to be toasty. I always dress with more rubber than anyone else, having some time ago got over the need to impress anyone with my ability to bear the cold. Screw the cold. Cold bad. Bad cold! When I come out of the water it's usually because I'm exhausted, not because I'm shivering and about to go into a coma. And few things are more fun than being in my 5-4 with hood, boots, and gloves, in early May or late April, and watching all the bravehearts enter the water with 3-2s, no boots and no gloves, just because the air temp is over 68F = 20C. They last about 20 minutes. It's all about specific heats and how long it takes for an ocean to warm up. Ain't physics a bitch.

that comment made me realize what we kind of take for granted up here...I'm getting used to surfing in these conditions during the winter, so I guess I don't always realize the magic or the draw of an ice-covered landscape while freezing-cold water courses through and around you, and the refreshing wake-up call it serves as on a bright winter day, then - like mentioned - the ever-so-relieving undress, towel-off and hot shower that follow

1-You check the surf. 2-You check your car boot to find a damp wetsuit that is slowly thawing out from the combined heat of the partially exposed brake and indicator bulbs from the drive down. 3- you check the length of any retractable fleshy appendages on your person (adding at least 10% due the ruler clearly being “faulty†or something) and wave it goodbye for a few hours and pray for its safe return. 4- You get in and surf till your blue. 5- You slowly thaw out and check the length of your fleshy appendage using the combined heat of the partially exposed brake and indicator bulbs and pray for its safe return (adding at least 20% due to the…..

To be fair Joggly, I only put the indicators on at night because my headlights don’t work

The first two or three minutes in the shower are hell to the extremities.

Don't you mean the searing pain as your fingers and feet start to get blood back?

Sums it up, but you are forgetting the amazing contrast of a hot shower after a sub-zero surf. Add in some chinese food from Tan's and a beer and that's a good day.

So , if u live there , try curling, snowkite , snowboard , skis , skeleton , hockey ........forget about surf?

Worryingly this was probably a long exposure photo and the wave didn’t move…..iced over
