For the past six decades, twin brothers Lee and Larry Williams have been surfing the gnarliest waves regardless of living nearly 2,000 miles away from any ocean. To triumph over the obstacles of being born and raised in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, they brought their dreams and long boards to the shores of Lake Michigan. Continuously braving 35-degree waters and wind-chill temperatures hovering below zero, the Williams brothers quickly realized the biggest adversaries of the Malibu of the Midwest weren’t the lacking waves, but fairly hypothermia and frostbite. Customizing their wetsuits so they can last nearly three hours in even the iciest of waters, Lee and Larry helped revolutionize a surf culture where one had never been before. As hosts of the Dairyland Surf Classic, they became international surfing celebrities and attracted hundreds of surfers from world wide eager to partake in one of The usa s best beach parties. “Some Love it Cold” is the fascinating story of two brothers whose lifelong journey to ride the ultimate wave seemingly brought the remainder of the surfing world to their place of origin.
