Zion wetsuits and Asher Pacey journeyed north to the Icelandic coast, laying down some sweet lines and hacks on this frigid right point break.

Very similar to my Christmas day surf, right down to the rubber.

You too agent Sharkman, disappointed I missed you this year. All the best to you and yours for 2018. Hope you can wind down a bit and take some time for yourself.

Zens back !

The meagre tales of your Chrissy surf warm the cockles of my heart on this humid tropical downpour grey sky and beer , cashew and laughs with the extended family Boxing Day .

What's the water like there in Nippon ?

Still ok, you can get away without gloves (just). Come mid-Jan though it'll be top to toe 5-6 mm rubber till April.

Cold beer is perfect any time of the year but warm sake goes down very nicely on these chilly nights.

On netflix at the moment, go and look for 'Under an Arctic Sky'.

Asher and a few other guys, not just novelty cold water surfing, damned good surfing in damned cold conditions, some great stuff in there.

Got to hand it to these boys. The waves look worth it, and they will never get crowded.

I hope.

Mans doing well to surf like that whilst layered in rubber in the freezing cold on a 5"2", a few spins even look as if the board is finless.
