Chris Burkard: The joy of surfing in ice-cold water
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2015
- "Anything that is worth pursuing is going to require us to suffer, just a little bit," says surf photographer Chris Burkard, as he explains his obsession with the coldest, choppiest, most isolated beaches on earth. With jawdropping photos and stories of places few humans have ever seen - much less surfed - he draws us into his "personal crusade against the mundane."

This guy is one of photography's greats
I didn't expect to finish watching until the end, but I'm so thankful that I did.
Lucky guy. He knew his life's calling at age 19. He gets to live life to the fullest, and find meaning beyond what is dispensible.
His photos are stunning. Didn't expect that at all.
6:22 theres a guy on the bottom left thats like reeeaaally shocked.
I've always preferred remote areas than commercialized beaches and I'm glad I'm not the only one
Wow...breathtaking pictures..
Beautiful photos, and well spoken story.
This was incredible. Gave me a different perspective on cold temperatures.... Still probably going to head south for the winter though. This man is truly "monk" of the cold. Bear
Chris is such an inspiration. One thing watching his videos and reading his stories and interviews is that no matter what your every day life looks like you have to get away from it from time to time to really feel human and feel free again :)
This guy is a true inspiration. Already a legend. Keep it up Chris. Bless.
love hearing about Chris's journey, he's a kindrid spirit to many of us
This very talented man is a member of my church and I had the opportunity to hear this talk before he gave it. He is an amazing photographer and a great speaker! :)
Extreme Cold Weather experience... not even words or pictures can explain!
Beautiful Art
I am a huge Ted Talks fan and I love the photos you post on Instagram Chris. Sometimes they look so magnificant I have to remind myself they are real places. Your an artist and explorer. Great talk. Keep doing what you do.
As a general advertising photographer -- I watched this in joy and I really hope one day to have this kind of passion for my future work. This was inspiring.
Incredible and very inspirational. This has filled me with the confidence to continue working towards my dreams.
This is the most amazing TED talk I've ever seen.
God bless you man.
Big joy to watch and listen this talk while a hot day like today :)
Chris, well done cold water brother, I'm very proud, inspired and honored to have seen a glimpse of your spectacular experience. Thank you.
Misery and pain are strange sorts of friends. Great talk though.
What a journeyman!
Surfing shots are spectacular. .
Awesome journey and beautiful shots in our world we no nothing about. Thank you.
I took my first cold winter surf trip to Scotland this past January and had an amazing time! I plan to visit Alaska in the fall or winter next. I totally agree with you, and I'm just a beginner surfer! Forget the crowds and well trodden places! Embrace the cold and seek true adventure!
So incredible! Chris is my favorite photographer!
Thank-you so much. Nothing with meaning is easy....Lower Definition
This man is inspiration.
Great speech, exciting photographs, I could feel the temperature, very inspiring. Thumbs up.
Couldn't like any other video more this one, could be the best inspirational video too. Hats off to you man, You inspired me the most!

Super powerful. Thanks!

Pun intended? :P
Amazing story.
Chris burkard you are a legend
To each their own. Freezing cold temperatures and swimming in large open bodies of water are two of my least favorite things on Earth.
amazing pictures.
Bellissime foto! Grazie!
awesome~ it's truly what you get for pursuing your dreams even through just a little bit of pain… It's worth it. It's your life and people don't live forever.
Awesome.. I was about to cry.. :)
Let's start with cold showers. Had a nice one yesterday n preparing for another this november afternoon. Cheers!
Crazy trip , amazing
legend. thanks Chris. Shaka brah.
got add ice surfing to the bucket list!
I'm taking swims in the North Sea for which very similarly ppl think am insane. But did research on it and it also actually is good for the muscles and the immune system after workouts and with the right hydration and nutrition. Yes I too got the cramps sometimes but nothing can be compared to it how much it energises me and in the same time relaxes. I am much faster after I'm out and in the icy sea I am not even freezing much. Just love it. I'm so glad to see ppl I feel alike, I feel we share this joy. Sure am too planning to surf too.
7:20 Holy ...! That is probably the #scariest #reallife set of situations
great speach! good life!
I’ve always wondered why doing sociopathic things is are much fun. This video puts so much in perspective
Amazing
My new inspiration . . .
"but most of all What ICY joy" :)
I do love these videos
Very nice, love it
Nice talk!!
Awesome video!!

oh my god bring me there.
thats cute we surf the great lakes here in canada all winter
I'm freezing just watching this
Stunning photography plays great on mute without the way over the top background sound. Like 1/2 every other damned thing these days. Looks like an interesting trip.
Sometimes... I go out in the rain, when I'm in the water.
Damn son. I was just surfing at -21 degrees Celsius. Cold water surfing is the daily here in Canada
Does anyone know the song that plays in his video?
yewwwww ya chris!!!

hll kardeşim tebrikler
I clicked like before listening
That was sick
Beautiful striking photos. Can’t u easily hit chunks of ice while surfing? Suffer on the way to Joy.
I think a dry suit would have been better in those conditions. Stiffer perhaps, but it takes longer to freeze to death.
song?
I so envy you!

Waves suck cold but are better cold for some fucked reason off shore wind loves cold air

Watch Surfer Dan
If this guy is just a water photographer why doesn't he wear a drysuit? Keeps your warmer
