You’re asking if it’s possible to drift (go with the flow) in winter. Well, technically speaking, drifting can be done all year round as long as there’s enough water and a suitable vessel.
However, I must clarify that traditional surfing or paddleboarding-style drifting is usually only viable during warmer months when the water temperature is pleasant for humans. In colder climates like those found in wintertime, hypothermia becomes a significant concern when spending extended periods of time in cold water.
That being said, there are some specialized winter sports and activities that allow you to navigate through ice or frozen conditions:
- Ice boating (also known as ice yachting): A thrilling way to ride the wind on top of a sheet of ice.
- Snowkiting: Similar to wakeboarding, but instead using snow-capped mountains and strong winds for propulsion.
Winter drifting doesn’t have to mean giving up completely! Find alternative activities that cater to your desire for adventure and exploration during those chilly days.
