KALD SÒL
Surfing in Iceland
The film sheds light on the surprising resources of cold countries, on the search for waves guided by the vagaries of the weather. Samuel Redon, a young professional surfer adept of surfing in warm water, will discover a completely different world of surfing. Between storms, violent winds, snow and slippery roads, he crosses the Island accompanied by the No Palm Tree Surfing Association, which guides lovers of riding in the wild. Christophe and Quentin, two amateur surfers, join the adventure. Rough destinations aren’t just for professional surfers, that’s our message.

FILM EQUIPMENT
“The 6/5/4 hood + 6mm boots + 5mm gloves combo is perfect for cold water! Surprisingly light wetsuits for a 6mm but very warm thanks to the full fleece and above all super flex. Gloves and boots are super practical and keep extremities warm. “

The No Palm Tree Surfing association was created by a group of friends wishing to share their experiences of exploring countries often forgotten by surfers.
Our aim is to enable people to set off on a no-questions-asked adventure. We want to recapture the surfing spirit of the 70s, when everyone wanted to discover their own virgin wave, giving a human dimension to surfing that has become too commercial in recent years. We’re keen to share the association’s message with as many people as possible. We want to promote the sharing of knowledge and skills between surfers, so that everyone feels able and entitled to set off for cold destinations where the search for waves is combined with a difficult climate.
