To many East Coasters, winter storm Juno was a bitch. With howling winds, blizzard-like conditions, and travel bans issued to non-emergency vehicles in several cities throughout the region, thousands of people were forced to stay indoors and ride out the storm. But for anyone who was looking for an excuse not to go to work, Juno was a gift extended from the heavens above. Plus, there is a unique sense of comfort and security you get when snuggling up next to the fire with a warm Baileys and coffee while it’s dumping snow outside.
Surfers, on the other hand, weren’t concerned about travel bans or Baileys and coffee. For those with giant scrotums and super thick wetsuits (like the ones pictured here), some crispy barrels were the only thing that mattered. Hats off to these ballsy blokes, and filmer James Katsipis, for withstanding the blizzard for everyone to see.
