The fellow holding the board is Vince Labbe. He wears wet suit gloves in the October Lake Erie water but not a hat. He said once he's in the water he doesn't think about it. (probably because of hypothermia!)
Anyway, I met him this afternoon at Edgwater Park in Cleveland, Ohio.
In our conversation I learned that Mr. Labbe was involved with a surfing movie, named OUT OF PLACE [1] (get it stupid - surfing is out of place on the Great Lakes!) which won some New York Film Festival award.
I believe that Vince and his compatriots in the freezing lake are integral to the salvation of Cleveland and NEO. Not any of the issues 1,2,3,4,5,or Mason's 6.
SURF'S UP!
