Keeping your hands off the wing in winter is out of the question for many people. But what can you do if your favourite spot is simply frozen over? It's simple: just swap your board for skis or ice skates for wingsurfing in winter and off you go's.

Good surf suits or not - there are days when it's too cold even for hardened wingsurfers. And if all you can see when you look at your favourite spot is an endless expanse of water, the options melt away anyway.

Peter and Jens still wanted to give it a go - wingsurfing in winter on ice and snow. So they quickly swapped their boards for skis and made good metres on the frozen Greifswalder Bodden.

If you want to see how Peter sweeps across the ice at up to 60 km/h, then you should definitely watch this clip:
