A surfer drops into a New Jersey mid-winter wave
Covered in neoprene, this surfer drops into a cavernous wave off the New Jersey coastline. His wetsuit weighs him down and the wave pitches him into the air as he focuses on making the drop to avoid a brutal beating beneath the surface in the Atlantic's freezing winter temperatures.
