New Years Day Surfing- In Michigan

[Greystoke]

This is our 4th year of doing this. Last year the ice came early on the Lake so we were out of luck. Water temps were mid 30's and air around 24 degrees. Most of us stayed warm with 6 mil wetsuits and 7 mil boots and gloves. Check out the ice balls on shore and the ice in the water. Fun time was had by all! Brian in Holland MI.

Ooof! Looks cold! I went to Grand Haven just the other day too... way too much wind. Mixture of sand and snow, super cold, I hate it. But that's great you're doing something physical to warm your body up, I was just standing there freezing, lol. My bro found a super old mallet in the sand right where you guys took that picture.

Surf on! :mrgreen: Cool pictures.
