"And then some guys have a different way of staying warm all winter -- they just don't surf. They sit in the car and watch."

U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), Barney Frank, not appearing anyway close to being athletic, seems the type to sit in the van and just...watch.

[Admin]I also believe this falls under Politics, as a recent NewYork magazine story "reefer-ed" to James Ready as:
Barney Frank’s Boyfriend Is Becoming Our Favorite Political Spouse

"Frank, 68, and Ready, 39,who describes himself as shy, met three years ago at a political fundraiser for Blind Democrats hosted by NY Governor Patterson, but Ready said he’s had a crush on Frank ever since the lawmaker was forced out of the closet in a scandal when his partner was arrested for prostitution in 1987."

“I remember seeing him on TV because it was big news and I was like, ‘Wow, he’s hot,’” Ready said. “And then when I met him, I told him that, and the rest is history.”

With Frank in D.C. most of the time, Ready said he spends his time at his Maine home, where he lives with his cat Pumpkin and tends to his awning shop business. In the colder months, when business is slower, Ready works a handyman."

"An avid surfing enthusiast, Ready said he goes surfing in Maine even in the winter."

“That high you get — it’s almost unexplainable to someone who doesn’t know,” he said. “I could be having the worst day in the world. Even just one wave kind of makes me feel better.”[ phone interview with the Blade]

How about a dry suit for scuba divers? My Alaskan friends use them year round for chasing king crab and scallops.

Drink a gallon of Gatorade and keep peeing in your wetsuit...?

Just guessing.

I do see surfers in Marblehead in the winter.

You could not get me in that water with a shotgun.

An Electric Heater with a REALLY REALLY long extension cord should do the trick. Just don’t fall off the board.
