Chris Burkard: The joy of surfing in ice-cold water
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- "Anything that is worth pursuing is going to require us to suffer, just a little bit," says surf photographer Chris Burkard, as he explains his obsession with the coldest, choppiest, most isolated beaches on earth. With jawdropping photos and stories of places few humans have ever seen - much less surfed - he draws us into his "personal crusade against the mundane."

This guy is one of photography's greats
I didn't expect to finish watching until the end, but I'm so thankful that I did.
Lucky guy. He knew his life's calling at age 19. He gets to live life to the fullest, and find meaning beyond what is dispensible.
His photos are stunning. Didn't expect that at all.
6:22 theres a guy on the bottom left thats like reeeaaally shocked.
Beautiful photos, and well spoken story.
Wow...breathtaking pictures..
I've always preferred remote areas than commercialized beaches and I'm glad I'm not the only one
This was incredible. Gave me a different perspective on cold temperatures.... Still probably going to head south for the winter though. This man is truly "monk" of the cold. Bear
Chris is such an inspiration. One thing watching his videos and reading his stories and interviews is that no matter what your every day life looks like you have to get away from it from time to time to really feel human and feel free again :)
I am a huge Ted Talks fan and I love the photos you post on Instagram Chris. Sometimes they look so magnificant I have to remind myself they are real places. Your an artist and explorer. Great talk. Keep doing what you do.
As a general advertising photographer -- I watched this in joy and I really hope one day to have this kind of passion for my future work. This was inspiring.
This guy is a true inspiration. Already a legend. Keep it up Chris. Bless.
love hearing about Chris's journey, he's a kindrid spirit to many of us
This very talented man is a member of my church and I had the opportunity to hear this talk before he gave it. He is an amazing photographer and a great speaker! :)
Incredible and very inspirational. This has filled me with the confidence to continue working towards my dreams.
Extreme Cold Weather experience... not even words or pictures can explain!
Beautiful Art
This is the most amazing TED talk I've ever seen.
Chris, well done cold water brother, I'm very proud, inspired and honored to have seen a glimpse of your spectacular experience. Thank you.
Awesome journey and beautiful shots in our world we no nothing about. Thank you.
Great talk , and incredible photos.👍
Couldn't like any other video more this one, could be the best inspirational video too. Hats off to you man, You inspired me the most!
So incredible! Chris is my favorite photographer!
Big joy to watch and listen this talk while a hot day like today :)
Great speech, exciting photographs, I could feel the temperature, very inspiring. Thumbs up.
Yet another amazing Ted Talk.
Misery and pain are strange sorts of friends. Great talk though.
What a journeyman!
Surfing shots are spectacular. .
God bless you man.
I took my first cold winter surf trip to Scotland this past January and had an amazing time! I plan to visit Alaska in the fall or winter next. I totally agree with you, and I'm just a beginner surfer! Forget the crowds and well trodden places! Embrace the cold and seek true adventure!
Super powerful. Thanks!
Thank-you so much. Nothing with meaning is easy....Lower Definition
La "llorada" del día!! 😭😭😭
Preciosas fotos, preciosa historia y preciosa persona la que la ha creado y participado. ♡♡♡♡ Thank you, Chris!♡♡♡♡
Spanish?
that was very cool and truly inspiring
Pun intended? :P
very inspiring, great speech
ayyy man of water ma man
What an inspiration!
Just beautiful!
Your experience was very moved me.
To each their own. Freezing cold temperatures and swimming in large open bodies of water are two of my least favorite things on Earth.
amazing pictures.
Awesome.. I was about to cry.. :)
Bellissime foto! Grazie!
Amazing story.
Very nice, love it
This man is inspiration.
Awesome video!!

Chris burkard you are a legend

Crazy trip , amazing
Let's start with cold showers. Had a nice one yesterday n preparing for another this november afternoon. Cheers!
awesome~ it's truly what you get for pursuing your dreams even through just a little bit of pain… It's worth it. It's your life and people don't live forever.
Nice talk!!
Amazing
got add ice surfing to the bucket list!
7:20 Holy ...! That is probably the #scariest #reallife set of situations
"but most of all What ICY joy" :)
this is awesome
I'm taking swims in the North Sea for which very similarly ppl think am insane. But did research on it and it also actually is good for the muscles and the immune system after workouts and with the right hydration and nutrition. Yes I too got the cramps sometimes but nothing can be compared to it how much it energises me and in the same time relaxes. I am much faster after I'm out and in the icy sea I am not even freezing much. Just love it. I'm so glad to see ppl I feel alike, I feel we share this joy. Sure am too planning to surf too.
So awesome
Iamap
My new inspiration . . .
legend. thanks Chris. Shaka brah.
ITS SO BEAUTIFUL :)
I’ve always wondered why doing sociopathic things is are much fun. This video puts so much in perspective
Fantastic photo!

Cool guy . Insane photography .
Does anyone know the song that plays in his video?
he is really cool and cold, favorite iceman :)
guess it comes to the point where pure joy and excitement offset all else... and there's when you have the time of your live
I'm 12 and I find these things very interesting
$$$ This is DOPE $$$
Stunning photography plays great on mute without the way over the top background sound. Like 1/2 every other damned thing these days. Looks like an interesting trip.
song?
oh my god bring me there.
I'm freezing just watching this
yewwwww ya chris!!!

Sometimes... I go out in the rain, when I'm in the water.

hes like the og surfs up penguin
8:42
That was sick
Beautiful striking photos. Can’t u easily hit chunks of ice while surfing? Suffer on the way to Joy.
I think a dry suit would have been better in those conditions. Stiffer perhaps, but it takes longer to freeze to death.
cold
what is his job now?
If this guy is just a water photographer why doesn't he wear a drysuit? Keeps your warmer
"So, surf photographer, right?" Ohh my god, you cannot be more dudebro than that. Hahaha.
Ummm ok
@@mango_46 Ummm ok
Waves suck cold but are better cold for some fucked reason off shore wind loves cold air
i am afraid common pain makes you aware off nothing but the pain itself. . .
Peter Velzen The key is what the pain is about and how you manage and interpret the pain. In short it is an individual perspective of the pain not the pain itself.
When acute intense pain comes, their often is no individuel perception. And thinking kind of stops, as the pain is all that you are concious off. I adivse anyone to saty ayway form pain.unnless there is grea benefit to be gained..
Atually you I right, but I didn't mean that small an amount of pain, I meant real horrible horrifying pain.
+Peter Velzen seems like you didn't try hard enough then
I didn't try at all. as I said: I am aftraid!
