The Wetass Spirit…: While I was risking suburn in Brazil, this Dude (aka Danny Perez of the US Coast Guard) decided that snow, ice and frigid temps should never get in the way of a little surfing. So here he is, doing it up at West Bay, near Traverse City, Michigan, just a few weeks ago. Thanks to TWC reader David Frost for sending these in…

“Wow, the break looks great today. Bit chilly, though…”

“Steady, now! Watch that berg to port…”

“It’s such a nice day. I can’t believe I’m out here all alone…”

“Okay. Time to head in. Can’t wait for that first ice cold brew…”
