Freezing cold. Fresh water.<br />

And freedom of the waves.<br />

By Paul Gangarossa<br />

Think about a surfer. The<br />

sun-kissed skin and board shorts. The frequent<br />

use of the words ‘gnarly’ and ‘radical,’ ‘dude’<br />

and ‘bummer.’<br />

Now take that picture—that preconceived<br />

notion of what a surfer looks like, how he acts<br />

and talks—take that picture and burn it.<br />

If you need any help with this exercise,<br />

wait for the winds to pick up on most Saturday<br />

mornings this winter, and head out to the<br />

beach at Lake Ontario. You might have to do<br />

some searching, but you’ll find them: surfers.<br />

Lake surfers.
