SUP surfing at −40°C

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Top AirVuz contributor Makhorov earned a DVOW Finalist spot for this fantastic drone video of an unlikely activity: stand-up paddleboarding on a giant river in Siberian Russia at temperatures of minus 40 degrees (Farenheit and Celsius).  The video was filmed on the Ob River, one of the three giant waterways that drain this vast region that covers the western part of Russia.  While most of the system does eventually freeze each winter, this particular branch of the river remained in liquid form despite the frigid temperatures.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

In Siberia, the cold drops to −40°C — and this is my favorite time of winter. Everything is covered in frost, a freezing haze hangs in the air. We seized the moment and went paddleboarding along one of the branches of the Ob River that doesn’t freeze even in such extreme cold.

The thermometer in the car read −39°C, but on the SUP it actually felt warmer, since the water temperature is around 0°C. Some of the participants even went for a swim.
