lucky bastards 
how often do you get it like that?

[Börni]

Great flick!!!

Börni

[Jens]

Yeah like it too,
how did you find your way to our little german surfing website ?

[surfdonkey]

Hey Thanks,

hard to navigate wo knowing German.

The surf rips here pretty consistently but it is bloody cold outside of the summer.

More episodes will show snow-patrols!

Thanks and keep watching!

Craig

Oh i think i was tracking through Mpora forum and someone had posted somethign about good surf sites and knowing that Germany was similar latitude and climate I thought it might be apprortiate.  Also there are tons of Germans living on the South Shore of NS.

[Tim]

Good stuff, mate! Nice to know having good conditions at places where not everyone goes to.

Which wetsuit do you use in winter?

Germany has the same latitude but not the same climate. In Winter we profit a little bit by the gulf stream, when we surf in the North Sea. The watertemperature never decreases below 5-7°C (41F - 45F). Baltic Sea is a bit colder, but also "surfable" with 6/4mm wetsuits.

[surfdonkey]

Well, we get some of that gulf stream too and many of the swell from the hurricanes that come up the coast.

Deep winter is usually best 5/4 full hoodies/gloves and boots of course and some go for drysuit.

Water temp gets down to zero sometimes.  when i used to surf more I remember paddling out through tem meters of slush .

I'm sure well have some crazy winter footage as the show rolls on.

Thanks for the props, next episode prob be out tues next week.

Hitting it big time with episode 10 from SurfDonkey (www.surfdonkey.ca).  The doc says a few more weeks out of the water so we bring you an pre-surgery epic sub zero barrel session from the deep winter.  Featuring a wicked track "Trouble" by local superstar Classified.

Classified generously let us use this track show show him some support by buying his tunes.  You can find out more about him at www.halfliferecords.ca.

Leave us a comment at www.surfdonkey.ca and Get yer Donk on!

Thanks for watching,

Yes!  We scored a Rip Curl H Bomb wetsuit to demo.  For those that don’t know, this is Rip Curl’s battery operated wetsuit that features heat coils integrated into the back panel of the suit.  The current water temp is 1C (33F) so we still have good testing waters.  It’s the first one in Canada (that we know of) and probably one of the first third party reviews around.  Have a look to see how it performs here http://surfdonkey.ca and the donkey notes. 

And needless to say, Lance has mostly recovered from surgery.  Mostly. I think I smell a cortisone shot.

Don’t forget to leave a comment at http://surfdonkey.ca.

Thanks for watching.

Get yer donk on!

Here is our bilingual (Spanish) contribution to the Surfilm Festibal (http://www.surfilmfestibal.com/) being held in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain.  The organizers have been following the show and asked us to drop in something.  In this episode Lance is already cranky from a bad surf session the day before and we get an inside look at the preparation needed to surf in -8C Canadian conditions.  Some killer Nova Scotia rides with a post-session excuse-a-thon (that we have all pulled one or twice in our own surf history) and watch the drive-through chatter at the end.

Have fun and get yer donk on.
