northern United States, and the season only starts when winds start blowing and the temperature drops below zero degrees Celsius.</span> <span data-start-time='15896' data-end-time='19771'>The sport is called ice boating.</span> <span data-start-time='19771' data-end-time='28229'>Clement Chua, who comes from a much warmer climate, is learning all about ice boating. </span> <span data-start-time='28229' data-end-time='36479'>He is an exchange student from Singapore and attends the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.</span> <span data-start-time='36479' data-end-time='43792'>Chua signed up for an ice boating class because he wanted to do something he could not do at home. </span> <span data-start-time='43792' data-end-time='48813'>“Ice boating is a most unique class,” he says.</span> <span data-start-time='48813' data-end-time='54896'>One experienced ice boater calls the sport “ephemeral.” </span> <span data-start-time='54896' data-end-time='62000'>In other words, the conditions for ice boating do not happen very often. </span> <span data-start-time='62000' data-end-time='67771'>And when the conditions are right, they are not right for very long.</span> <span data-start-time='67771' data-end-time='76292'>“You can go weeks in the winter when you can’t go ice boating,” says 81-year-old Lloyd Roberts.</span> <span data-start-time='76292' data-end-time='80813'>Roberts has been ice boating for 40 years. </span> <span data-start-time='80813' data-end-time='91479'>He says dedicated ice boaters make the sport a major event in their lives, just after funerals and weddings.</span> <span data-start-time='91479' data-end-time='98875'>The capital of ice boating in the United States is now the northeastern state of Maine.</span> <span data-start-time='98875' data-end-time='102063'>It once was New Jersey. </span> <span data-start-time='102063' data-end-time='114063'>But the capital moved north because Maine has warmer winters than before, and New Jersey’s winters are sometimes too warm for good ice to form.</span> <span data-start-time='114063' data-end-time='125125'>Maine gets cold enough in the winter that lakes and ponds will freeze, but it is no longer so cold that the ponds are covered with snow.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
