As the Scandinavian saying goes, "There"s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes." The adventurer seen here near the top of our image is conquering the New England chill on a stand-up paddleboard, a cold ocean removed from Nordic shores. But this watery winter excursion embodies the Scandie stamina distilled in the Norwegian word friluftsliv, literally translated as "free air life"—the notion that any time is a great time to be outdoors, weather be damned.
Cold? What cold?
