LAKE TAHOE-

Let’s be clear — Lake Tahoe is an extremely cold lake.

However, the frigid temperatures of the water did not stop a small group of thrill seekers from getting the chance of a lifetime: a chance to surf on Lake Tahoe.

The pictures above were provided by the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, taken near their North Lake Tahoe station.
