well maybe was being too harsh on you guys... the surf actually looks kind of fun ... it's just the cold that would be a nightmare ! But hey, it's guys like you that show the true resilience of the human spirit... staying stoked, even if it's 22 degree outside with 32 degree water temp!
you guys up there on these lakes always name your video's "somewhere on lake superior" like it's some amazing secret spot ! I would think with the freezing slop that you're surfing in you would probably WANT a crowd to join in. I really don't want to insult you because I know how hard it can be waiting for good surf but Isn't there an expression like that..."misery love company!"
I know Its got to be so much harder then it looks in that cold of air and water temps...But hey if was there I would be right there with ya all freezing in the surf...Spoiled here in Florida... 50 degrees out is cold for me burrr....
@ImTheForest There are some good spots, and there is a pretty big surfing community out in Chicago. The water is warmer on lake Mich but I think the waves are better on lake superior. check out the Superior Surf Cubs Forum and let em know your thinking about moving to the Midwest for School. They guys on there are all great and will be glad to help you out in any way you can. Have you check out U of M or UMD?
@eddie313 I could help you with that... The intro is from Old Crow Medicine Show. The second song is from local Musician named Mike Westbrock (but its not the guy that shows up in Google). If you would like could send you his email address.
God I want to score The Lakes some day.....the scenery, the lonely coastline....moody winter days......Hey, you guys stay cool...keep the stoke. Don't become jaded douche bags like a majority of the surfing population. Don't end up trolling surf vids on Youtube telling everybody and everywhere that they suck. Always remember what it is all about. Hope this coming winter treats you well.
I love this video guys. In two ways,I have a real interest in actually coming up to check surfing the lakes out.I hold a real appreciation 4you guys.Surfing is my passion in life.I'm from Texas and surf the gulf.The music really hit home to me.I was diagnosed at 17 with many disorders, the lyrics to this day at age 29 is the exact feeling.The best med is surfing. Ive sat for 2 years with a back injury, so cant surf.Finally in physical therapy Cold doesn't bother me, need thicker armor though :)
@scadoo82 I said cold doesn't bother me, I know that is cold as hell, but though from surfing the Texas gulf coast with warm water [55F or so average low] I know id need way thicker gear. Up there it's 8/7 8/8 full booties hoods, gloves I for sure imagine? and still be cold, but I have a better understanding then those who never suited up and took the plunge. Once again guys, I have high respect for the GL Surfers coming from where I am here in Texas, Hope some day to have the GL experience :)
@scadoo82 We rock mostly 6/5/4 and the 5/4 and 7mm booties and gloves. And any time you up north just look us up we would be glade to share some waves.
Sweet video, I had no clue that there was amazing surf on the great lakes. You guys are crazy with those water temperatures, my balls shriveled up when I saw the weather.
@momofreed I hear that man, I made a long post the other day and I stated I have great respect for GL Surfers, because it's like what we have in the gulf coast Texas except the cold. Our waves, by average are for sure not the best in the world, but always fun and always made the most of by us down here in the south. Places like the lakes, and the gulf, god blessed us with what we have, and we never take it for granted. That's where a deep respect comes from, and the ice breaks you surf :)
I chased chop and blow out all up and down the California coast from 62 to 84 so my hat's off to you guys cuz I grew up in Canada and I remember, we had a view of Lake Ontario from our front window looking across the two ice rinks where I spent all my winters.
@MiddaAgggie We installed a big plate over in Canada its about the size of a two football fields, which makes mini tsunami. we pool our money together becuse it cost about $5000 buck to run and we have Canadian mounties turn it on, it pumps up and down for about an hour and sends us perfect waves ..... I wish we could turn it on and off. It's all wind driven' and thanks to the large fetch we can get some pretty good waves. But a lot of the time its just a windblown mess
I like it when that guy said "we got some 'pros' out here today, guys from all over the mid-west, I hope I can get a ride" I laughed so hard. Then again, Chicken Joe did beat Tank and Cody Maverick for the title. He was from Sheboygan, Wisconsin...RESPECT! Anyway, in this video, which ones were the pro's?
@TIJUANA818 Jamie Sterling was out with redbull that weekend, the locals headed out to boulders which is protected from the wind and Jamie and redbull boys headed out to a little less protected area up near Beaver Bay, MN. Just search (Surfing in the Great Lakes - Red Bull ) to see some more action. And Chicken Joe is the S&$T, lol
@thehouseboardshop Thank you for the info! But who is Jamie Sterling? Where in the world is Beaver Bay, MN? Is there any thing famous nearby there? All I know is that its closer to Canada than I am.
@TIJUANA818 Jamie Sterling is a big wave surfer from Hawaii, and I Guess Stoney Point is pretty Famous for the GL surfers or Duluth MN or perhaps the Edmund Fitzgerald, but that ship sank on the other side of the lake.
@leatherfaced Cool hope to see you out there. Are you all set up? (do you have a board, 5 4 or 6 5 wettie, Booties and gloves?) The season should be starting soon!
I've been up the North Shore hundreds of times and never seen any waves over 5 to 6 feet. I've heard rumors of 20ft plus. Anybody have any vids or pics of this occuring? Best surf I've seen is just north of Grand Marais, but it's a long way up for me. I'm in the Twin Cities. btw is your vid here at Knife River. cool stuff man....
@TheGreenRoomSpit I believe the song is called "Never Will" by Mike Westbrock, He is a local musician in Minnesota, it is off of his CD "Almost Naked"
These waves are better than waves at Myrtle Beach!
