"Cool" Monterey Surfers

"Cool" Surfers at Monterey, CA
 
Today's photo proves that cold weather is merely an inconvenience for the most dedicated surfers! These hardy souls braved cool temperatures and bone-chilling water to get in some quality surfing just off the coast of Monterey, California. They were dressed for the occasion, but I'm sure they were shivering and looking forward to warming up when the fun was over.

Monterey, Santa Cruz, and Half Moon Bay offer some of the most exhilarating surfing in the world, especially during the winter months. The most daring surfers can enjoy  an occasional 50 foot wave, with 30-35 foot waves occurring often on some days.
