Arctic Swell- Surfing the Ends of the Earth / Chris Burkard

surf › Foto / Video

 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.

    Yes!!, being in it surrounded by, and immersed in your surroundings, capturing the most telling story of the day. 10 years ago, I was introduced to your website by SmugMug. I was blown away and absolutely inspired. Thank you for bringing us along with the journey!

  7. blackbird5634

    The Ice Beard Surfers of Lake Superior are some Zen lunatics. They never live the same day twice. True light, true source.

    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.

  22. scottwagner7089

    You fuckers fucking rock.

  23. mikesounds3827

    The potential for amazing waves could be in the artic unseen by people who surf. The greatest waves could still be undiscovered :)

  24. jesstapper3252

    Why did they choose wanker surfers? Aerials are just skateboard stunts. They should have got real surfers. If the waves were good enough they would have done it.

  25. 73gmiller

    Could have said where it was, especially if you truly want to inspire people to travel...he should come to New Jersey, it gets just as cold and snowy every winter...

  46. zachb5803

    Good way to get hypothermia this is a insanely dangerous version of the sport which unfourtunately will cause many deaths

  47. tommybrewer9316

    I'm at 2:30 and there has yet to be ANY surfing! Lotsa beautiful scenery and walking across a difficult, boulder strewn beach, but no surfing!" Why do the editors of these "surf" vids, insist on 5 minutes of travel and geographic scenes in a 7 minute video? Done!

  48. eitanminyan9931

    Doesn’t anyone respect the great quality

  49. emilyg48
