What happens if winter surfing just… isn't your thing? This episode tackles a reader's honest question: are you still a surfer if you sit out the colder months? We share own SoCal winter funk, explores why cold water surfing isn't for everyone (hint: it costs more, takes longer, and drying gloves is a nightmare), and reminds us that taking a break doesn't make you any less of a surfer. From wetsuit rituals to cozy post-surf pints, this one's for anyone feeling the seasonal shift.
