In this short, energetic monologue, Wim Hof showcases seven unconventional and playful ways to enter cold water. He moves from a straightforward high‑impact jump to more whimsical approaches such as the "Flatliner" rapid entry, a self‑directed dive, a spinning "Penguin" entry, an "Obi‑Wan Kenobi" abyss jump, a samurai‑style "cut‑through" plunge, and finally a deep‑meditation immersion that he claims disturbs brain waves. Throughout, he mixes humor, exaggerated reactions, and a brief safety warning, then invites viewers to share their own winter‑to‑summer transformations and enjoy the fun.

There are multiple ways to enter into the cold water. Mostly it is very slow because it is so cold. Not me. My favorite: jumps into the cold water and hit it. Or— Number 7: the flatliner. Whoa! Oh, I felt that. Don't do this shit at home. Jump number 6, or that way. Dive towards yourself. Jump. Number 5: Just turn. Yes, turn, turn my ass. Whoa, my ass is hot now. Hey, water is cold, so it's good. Number Penguin. Penguin. Number 3: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Jump into the abyss. Number 2: Cut through the bull— samurai jump. Number 1: deep meditation into the deep pond. Disturbed brain waves. Aah! My meditation! It's gone! Hey guys, these were my jumps. I make of the winter a summer. What are your jumps? How do you change the winter into the summer? Have fun, fun, fun, fun! Great fun.
