Surfing is a sport for warm climates with sandy shores and bikini-clab beach bunnies. Right?

Annnnk! Wrong!

These guys wait for big slabs of ice to break off glaciers and fall into the ocean, creating "glacial tsunamis" they can ride. What I want to know is, how often does this happen . . . and how do they keep from freezing to death while the wait for the "surf's up" event from the glacier?
