“The Ice Surfer was a inexpensive set that really adds a lot to your Artic village. You get another explorer and a cool vehicle, there was not a lot of different sets available in this theme. For the cost of around $5.00 - it was a much needed addition to the collection.”

“The Ice Surfer set is a fantastic addition to any Arctic collection, featuring a realistic and functional design with a cool sail, skis, and a well-designed color scheme. The set includes a unique minifigure, useful tools, and a small outpost, making it a great value for its price.”
 

About Town Arctic

LEGO Arctic was a 2000 Town subtheme that was centered around arctic exploration. The sets featured several snow vehicles and a research station. Arctic's background story involved meteors that were falling to Earth in locations around the Arctic and the explorers tracked down the impact sites to collect these meteors. Arctic was later reintroduced in 2014 through the City theme but instead of the word Arctic in the logo, there is a seal with the continent of Antarctica.

Arctic was introduced in 2000 and currently consists of 8 sets. As of today, 6575 Polar Base is the most valuable Arctic set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $287.
Summary
Town Arctic Ice Surfer set 6579 was released in January 2000, retailing for $5, but has since been retired. New, unopened Ice Surfer sets are valued at $30, while used sets can be found for $8.
