While fair-weather sailors pack away their gear, a different breed emerges when the mercury plummets. From the icy lakes of Switzerland to the brutal North Sea, a core contingency of team SEVERNE continues to charge through the Euro winter in the hunt for epic sessions.We've opened up the archives to share their blueprint for surviving sub-zero sailing.

RADICULO'S SUB-ZERO PROTOCOL

Let's get the basics from one of the most dedicated in the game - Balz "Radiculo" Muller.

"Cold? Sure, your body feels it, but it's your mind that decides how you react to it." That's Balz Müller's call to arms. The Swiss specialist's approach is methodical: internal heat pre-game, 6/4 hooded armour for battle stations, and strategically timed arm swings between runs. When Swiss lakes turn to slush, it's just another day at the office.

DUTCH WINTER OPS

The winter equation is simple for Maaike Huvermann - empty spots plus peak wind season equals maximum progression. From pre-heating wetsuits on the dashboard to strategic hot chocolate pitstops, she's mastered the art of extending sessions when temperatures bottom out. Her comprehensive guide breaks down the complete winter protocol - because some of the best sessions happen when others think it's too cold.

LINA'S WINTER INTEL

Before watching Lina charge the Baltic, here's her personal playbook for staying in the game when temperatures plummet. After years of bouncing between Western Australia's summers and Germany's harsh winters, she's dialed in the essentials.

Keeping the digits alive

"3mm gloves hit the sweet spot - enough warmth without sacrificing boom feel. Strategic short breaks are crucial; get the blood flowing and you're good to go for another round."

Pre-launch sequence

"Hot tea can help, but most times I just suit up and charge. The real warm-up happens on the water."

Temperature limits?

"There aren't any. If conditions are firing, we're sailing."

The insiders edge

"Here's the thing - the beach check is always the coldest part of your session. Once you're suited and booted, it's game on. By the time you're planing, you won't even remember it's winter."


Need a little "pick me up"? Here's a flashback to the winters at home with Lina Erpenstein. According to Lina, the winter might be the harshest, but it is also the time filled with adventure.
