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.
