If there’s a wave, there’s a surfer. Even when the polar vortex is turning the whole country into an ice cube.

While most were spending the end of January rocking 17 layers of clothing in front of their fireplaces, Daniel Schetter (also known as “Surfer Dan”) wasn’t taking a day off.

It was business as usual for the local legend from Marquette County, Michigan, and luckily photographer Devon Hains was there to capture it.



“The photos were shot two days last week, Sunday, January 27 and Wednesday, January 30th,” Hains told Bored Panda.

“The photos feature both Surfer Dan and Allen Finau.

They were shot at Presque Isle Park in Marquette Michigan on Lake Superior.

The temperature for the Sunday shoot got down to -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-34°C) with the windchill.”

The pair of determined surfers in Michigan didn't let sub-zero temperatures prevent them from practicing their sport as they were photographed cruising Lake Superior during the polar vortex last week.

The incredible scenes, captured by Marquette-based nature photographer Devon Hains, show Allen Finau and Daniel Schetter wielding tridents as they trekked through the frigid lake while sporting frozen hair and beards.

We should be thankful. If this was Nigeria, more than 40% of the population would have frozen to death due to poverty and lack of infrastructure.

It can't happen in Nigeria or Africa because Africa helps divide important deep water oceanic currents that cycle nutrients between antarctic waters and the equator. If Africa fall off the Rader that means the world will be at brink of extinction cause what will be happening everywhere will be winter eruption from faces of the earth. Lol

Guess they have to be wearing a diving suit to keep out the water and something else to keep them warm enough to keep them alive.
