The Legend of Surfer Dan and His Ice Beard Gang

At chilly Lake Superior, “Surfer Dan” Schetter and his brave gang defy the bone-chilling cold of winter, embarking on a daring adventure that few would dare to attempt. With temperatures plunging to -3°C and wind chills plummeting to a staggering -30°C, they take to the icy waters, riding the frigid waves with unmatched determination.

But it’s not just the waves that leave their mark—the biting cold transforms their hair into frozen icicles, creating surreal “ice beards” that hang from their eyes, eyebrows, beards, and hair. Located in the heart of the North American continent, Lake Superior is renowned for its bone-chilling winters, with temperatures often dipping well below freezing.
