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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
