Chill of Surfing in the Baltic Sea

Whether beginner or expert, in cold seas or warm, anyone who’s paddled out towards a tilting horizon, eyes blinded by sudsy spray, or felt half-exhilarated, half-terrified as a solid wall of wave, as black as a basilisk’s eye, rears up in front of them, or sat, bobbing and meditative on their board, looking out to sea and waiting for one last set, will feel the salt sting of recognition when they look at his pictures.
