冰岛离那美丽而喧嚣的热带冲浪世界是如此地遥远，而作为在冰岛的冲浪者，他们必须接受这一残酷的事实：去面对那残酷的北大西洋的风
The reality of growing up a surfer in Iceland is different from anywhere else in the world. It’s a harsh place. There are no surf shops, guidebooks or webcams. Icelandic surfers are seriously on their own both in and out of the water. But being so far removed from the hustle and bustle of the known surf world hardens Iceland’s surfers to confront the biggest issue they must all face: The North Atlantic wind.
“This wind is like a drunkard 10 minutes before closing time,” says The Accord team. “You never know what the bastard’s up to. He can be in the throes of a calm alcohol stupor one minute, fly into a fit of rage the next, and then, in a moment of pure brilliance and drunken unpredictability, the North Atlantic wind can be the most magnificent man in the room”.
Hei 疳r Logi Elíasson Iceland’s first and only professional surfer has faced this foe his entire life, and although Iceland isn’t a ‘surfer’s paradise’, growing up on a tiny island in the middle of the North Atlantic has taught Hei 疳r a few tricks for dealing with adverse conditions. First amongst them: how to do that dangerous dance with the North Atlantic wind.
