For charismatic twin brothers Lee and Larry Williams, life is a beach - even if that beach happens to be two thousand miles from an ocean. Despite sub-zero temperatures, these daredevils have been risking frostbite and hypothermia since the late 1960s, all in pursuit of the perfect wave on the shores of their hometown: Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the "Malibu of the Midwest." From hypothermia to Hanging-Ten, the new Wisconsin Historical Society Press edition of William Povletich's sports history book Some Like It Cold tells the crazy, inspiring true story of surfing in the Midwest and the maverick brothers who founded the "home beach" of freshwater surfing. Povletich chronicles their journey to international surfing stardom. With humor and passion, Lee and Larry recall freak storms and near drownings, the endorphin rush of riding a raging Lake Michigan wave, and the wild, six-decades-long thrill of helping to put Sheboygan on the map as one of the world's most intriguing surfing destinations. This updated edition includes a new chapter that brings their story up to the present.
