Cold Water Souls



Chris Nelson has spent the last twenty-four months travelling to surfing’s most frigid outposts. Accompanied by leading documentary and surf photographers, he has tracked down those pioneering souls who call the world’s coldest line-ups ‘home’, from Iceland, Thurso and Hokkaido to Nova Scotia, Alaska and beyond. He has broken bread with them, surfed with them, talked story with them, discovering just what makes these hardy souls take on ice ladened seas in the pursuit of the perfect ride. In celebrating this underground seam in surfing’s rich culture, ‘Cold Water Souls’ goes to the very boundaries of modern surfing, exploring waveriding’s final frontiers thorough fresh perspectives and stunning imagery.
