Arctic Swell - Surfing the Ends of the Earth

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- Photographer Chris Burkard and Professional Surfers Patrick Millin, Brett Barley, and Chadd Konig brave sub-zero temperatures in the Arctic Circle to capture moments of raw beauty in conditions that rank among the harshest in the natural world. The bitterly cold seas and wind exact a large price on their minds and bodies, but the reward - adventure, amazement, and self-knowledge - draws them closer together and pushes them to tackle the next frontier in surfing.

i loooove cold weather. it makes me feel so alive and connected to everything. my mind feels like it's in hyper mod and getting that freeze bite on the skin (winter tan as some call it) makes you feel like you're a part of nature. you're paying the price willingly, and stay unyielding even thought you know you're far less..mighty? it's that unconditional love. that moment when your dog bites your hand, or your cat scratches you and you let it, happy for its strength. i just hope one day i will be able to feel it with a person
Jacob B that's deep brah
Jacob B i️ like the fact that there are actual smart humans on this planet lol i️ also like the cold
That’s how I feel when I’m out in the heat sweating my dick off
Jacob B you definitely live in a hot environment. Believe me after living in the cold for your whole life it gets annoying.
@@Monyato i live in india and its so hot its annoying
I cant tell you how many times I've watched this, and every time it motivates and inspires me to keep shooting. Chris Burkard is an amazing lens story teller I am so grateful to come across his work.
This is so awesome. Chris Burkards pictures are inspirational. The adventurism is inspirational. and the sacrifice for all of this is inspirational! Keep up the great work!
Damn! You guys shred!!!! This is the most BEAUTIFUL surfing I've ever seen!
there's always "that guy" who brings his guitar/ukulele to everything and then says "this is so raw and being part of the environment". otherwise it's sick to see these dudes thrashing in the Arctic. keep it coming boys!
+conspiracies are just great stories And 'that guy' more often than not has dreadlocks and blabbers in your ear about organic vegan stuff :D
+AGH331 hahahahahahah yeah man...that dude gets on my nerves...even though I have a few of them in my stable lol
+Hilbert França hahahahahahah well thank you sir....u bring me joy in rippin u and also listening to your half decent tunes ;)
+Hilbert França I miss the vids of guys saying "dude we were drunk at the beach when the waves sucked, we saw a postcard of Alaska and said it would be cool as shit to surf in the snow....lets go!" not "it would be so surreal, magical, an emotional journey to venture with fellow members of my water riding circle to experience this phenomena whilst.....SHUT UP AND JUST UP THE SURF!!!!
That was so sick. Brett is one of my favorite surfers to watch.
This whole thing just reminds me of "Surfs up" 😂
Lmao yes. I had a DVD of that
You did it justice!! If I would have watched this short movie first, I would have wanted to go there and put it on my bucket list as a photographer. But I actually already went before watching this movie and can say that you did it great justice!
I can only imagine how hungry those guys were after getting out. Growing up on the Oregon coast there is nothing that will make you hungrier than surfing in the winter time and that is no joke but the food and beer always taste better after you get done getting your ass kicked by 10 to 12 ft swells and cold air/water.
This is fantastic SmugMug!
Ce qu'il raconte à propos de la photographie l'impact sur soi et sur les gens...I AGRÉE...but about thé Cold..scène..in sWINTER arE. Incroyablement surréalistes...mais j'adore les autres saisons...
Tanks for sharing
muy emocionante
Thanks Barry Blanchard ! And great to see you at SmugMug HQ today.
This video is electrifying. I love it!
Lofoten Norway really is breath taking. Had the opportunity of camping there 2 weeks and still my favourite place I have been to date. Reine is stunning and I do believe some is filmed on Kvlavika Beach which is a very remote and isolated area with some of the gnarliest waves on Earth!
People who enjoy what they do, enjoy their life. Fabulous photography!
Oh my gosh , the part starting @ 2:55 .. uhh!! Makes me shiver with goosebumps. Love surfing! Magical!
That's living , almost feeling so left out right now watching this , abundantly awe. Belinda leoni
Nothing but respect to these guys!!
this was so beautiful. he is so passionate about his work, and what he said over there about photography when he was like it doesn't have to be the perfect shot, it just has to make you feel like you've actually given away something, like a piece of you to get that shot.' That's true. And this is so beautiful. Absolutely stunning job by the surfers, i cant even IMAGINE what it takes to go out there, water at like 40 degrees and just so that but it's so so beautiful. Captivating. This was captivating. Thank you for this. X.
Now i know why you guys have not uploaded a new movie for over a month :D awesome production, i'm so stoked! Big thumbs up to your crew and chris burkhard, he's one of the best photographers out here on this planet!!
👍
The Ice Beard Surfers of Lake Superior are some Zen lunatics. They never live the same day twice. True light, true source.
Surfed here before, i grew up in norway, yes its cold the first 3-5 minutes- but you get hella hot in those suits when you move around. your body heats up the trapped water to over body temrature, so you are wearing a hottub.
great now an orca with thermal vision can see me clearly in the water
@@df6148 youre too funny
These people speak my language. Wonderful video!
Chris Burkard is legend!!!
Chris Burkard the best !
One of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Inspiring. Keep going Chris.
This film/ documentary is amazing love how its been filmed who disliked this?
People who thought it was antarctica, or wanted to see him chased by a polar bear!
Simply stunning documentary of Surf Photography by the team SmugMug
It was amazing!!
I LOVED seeing this last year at ocean film fest, I can't wait to see if you've got anything entered into the banff film fest. Keep doing what you're doing, its incredible. xx
OMG !!!! Surfing in -8 I LOVE U FROM MOROCCO
Ongelooflijk wat een pracht. Wat heerlijk dit te zien.
This has given me a whole different perspective of surfing as me being a surfer from Rhode Island
Breathtaking scenery and great off-screen commentary. Great editing as well! Terrific!
I brought my surfboard up to camp for fall crew here in ontairo, just the feeling of paddling is magic to me no other feeling just laying there on your board! I cant surf here but just paddling is great stress relief for me.
He said he likes to inspire. That his did! In spades!
Thank you
Pure Chris Burkard 🙌🏻
This is unstad in lofoten, north norway. i dk why they never mentioned that, kind of annoying. I found it thanks to someone way down scroll.
They like to hide the spots - it's a pain in the ass! thanks to OG poster. #livet_er_best_ute
Obviously they don't want those North Shore crowds, trying to keep this frozen gem from getting too crowded
Excellent work !!!! When I watch these videos it make's me proud to be a SMUGGER>>>
Not exactly a surfing fan, but saw this by accident and WOW... As good as the video and soundtrack are together, I really love the narrators comments on what it means to them to be a photographer. Nice piece.
Gorgeous. Absolutely stunning production of water, people + the elements. The drone shots are frickin' awesome. Well done!
Toughest human beings on earth! Great documentary
So amazing, i can not imagin how colder the water is realy.
Those surfer are very creazy but they give to us a very beautiful postcard about surfing arctic wave.
Thank you so much for all that beautiful picture.
Chris is probably my biggest inspiration..such a talented guy
This is just pure awesome! I must have watched this about 10 times. Is that you Michael Bonocore standing at the camp fire for a brief second?
Haha 4 years later I reply. Yes it is!
Great story, photography and people!!! Ang great inspiration as wel. I used to make videos and love surfing. I have been thinking to start shooting in the water. Now I know will go out and do it. Thank you so much. Life is short and we are somehow loosing our connection with nature sometimes. A lot of people have no respect for nature. Very sad.
Wow. My hat is off to these guys. I surf in Washington state which is damn cold, especially in the winter, so I can imagine how brutal this must have been. Well done boys~
Thank you so much for enduring the pain and the cold to deliver some of the most epic most beautiful images intertwined with amazing surfing that I've ever seen. Thank you
You Ice wave Dudes are amazing & the photographer--GREAT live now attitude -keep going
Absolutely amazing. You totally captured the emotion and character of the location.
These bays & little stub rock out- croppings are apparently in Norway. Off the beaten track for most. I had no idea people ( motivated people) were doung this. Very humbling.
I don't understand how 78 people have something against this video... mind blowing
Epitome of epic. And I mean that for Chris, the surfers, and the filmmaker. Much respect!!
Awesome, stunning place and amazing footage
