Some Like It Cold

chronicles the actual story of twin brothers Lee and Larry Williams, whose love of surfing evolved in essentially the most unlikely of geographies: off the shores of Lake Michigan. From their boyhood home in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the brothers trekked to the local beach with their longboards and their dreams to master the waves at spots like the Elbow and the Cove. The next six decades proved that their zeal for catching grinders and barrels used to be a lot more than a hobby.

Surfing in the cold had its challenges, and Lee and Larry recall stories of freak storms, ice-encrusted beaches, and near drownings, in conjunction with the standard hypothermia, helped but not cured by their customized cold-water wetsuits. Regardless of living nearly 2,000 miles from either coast, Lee and Larry have made a way of life out of freshwater surfing, recreating their place of birth as “The Malibu of the Midwest” and gaining international fame as hosts of the Dairyland Surf Classic.

With humor and wit, writer William Povletich brings their tale of revolutionizing surf culture to the page.
