The waters off Long Beach Island, New Jersey, were slushy with ice on January 9 as the East Coast was in the grip of some freezing weather – but that didn’t deter one local surfer.

Video by Jon Coen shows him going out on his board, and even picking up chunks of ice as he goes along.

Coen told Storyful: “The slush waves were a novelty, so I went out and got a few. There were literally icebergs out in the water and a snowbank of salt water snow by the shoreline … I had never seen that before.” Credit: Jon Coen via Storyful
