This Ice Paddleboarder Will Make You Want To Have A Winter Adventure Immediately

Warning: Watching this video will make you want to walk away from the internet, zip up your snow suit and go outside to explore a wintry wilderness.

You’d be following the lead of Karol Garrison, the surfer and former U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer featured in this brief but mesmerizing video by Seth Haley, posted to YouTube last week. Garrison moved to snowy Michigan from the west coast, he says, but he still seems to appreciate Lake Michigan.
