Surfers brave sub-freezing temperatures to tackle Lake Michigan waves

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- A pair of especially dedicated surfers were filmed showing their devotion to the sport by braving sub-freezing temperatures to tackle the waves of Lake Michigan.

The video, filmed earlier this month and posted to Facebook by Derek Utley, shows two surfers riding the waves at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee.

The video shows one of the surfers manage to get upright and ride a massive wave.

Utley said the temperature when he filmed the video was only 29 degrees and snow was falling heavily with 8 inches of accumulation already on the ground.
