Meet the Ontario surf crew: the ones brave enough

Meet the Ontario surf crew: the ones brave enough to go surf when it’s freezing out. ⚡️ Would you go surf with them? Or you would rather stay out of the water, where it’s a bit warmer?⁠⠀

A few days into our trip exploring the area, we fi

A few days into our trip exploring the area, we finally arrived at our main destination, the small surfing village of Unstad, one of the most beautiful cold water surf spots on Earth. The waves were quite big on our first day in Unstad, so we decided to dip our toes into the water in a smaller bay nearby. Putting on a wetsuit when it is minus 10 degrees outside was definitely a challenge, but I was excited. The feeling of snow under my neoprene boots while walking on the beach, the giant mountains around the bay, the crystal-clear water; it all seemed a bit unreal. The reality finally hit when we jumped into the water. Holy shit, I thought, it’s really f*cking freezing. I took a few shots, but I was not completely focused, all I could think about was the cold and my lack of preparation for this. I lasted about 10 minutes in the sea. ⁠⠀

As a photographer, you sometimes need to challenge yourself if you want to capture the best shots. @juliaochsphoto did exactly that when she decided to hop on a plane from Germany to go shoot cold water surfing in Norway. Read about her experience on the website along with beautiful photos that will make you freeze from your warm house - link in the bio! ⁠⠀

"In dirty jeans and bare feet, I ran headfirst to your doorstep – escaping the doctor’s appointments, the lists, the uncertainty and the hopelessness. The thick binds I had woven myself into kept me anchored to the idea that I was beyond repair." ⁠

Current mood. ⁠⠀
We’re back into lockdown here in Quebec, but this time, with a curfew. It’s weird and stressful. The streets are empty and our hearts kind of feel empty too, in a way. We miss our friends. We miss the waves. We miss the freedom we used to have—the one we took for granted for so long. But we’re trying to stay positive because what else is there to do? Hopefully our content can help you dream a little, even if it’s for 5 minutes. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We want to know: are you currently in lockdown? How are you feeling? And what do you do to stay positive despite everything? 🖤⁠⠀
