Surfing in the Great Lakes - Red Bull New Wave

[iakers96]

Haha no camera man will get in that water!

[blozzy22]

Severe shrinkage!

[Robert27962]

Was that jizz on his hoodie?

[StacyIsMy]

i live in michigan but too cold to surf in :(

[Hemulen40]

KOOL !

[OSTUTZO]

Of course it gets big... large body of water + strong winds = big surf ! BUT does it get clean ? (serious question... it would be great to see a video of big clean surf on the great lakes)

[3daywkend]

I think we found the one spot Laird Hamilton would be afraid of. 

[surfhawaii08]

@3daywkend oh yeah overhype that bastard even more SICK bro. 

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

@3daywkend

pfft!

[ChristoF10000]

merci Jamie

[OldManArmyJonno]

I am sure Minnasotan surfers are gutted you won't be there Suppaduppa. I am glad you miss the point of surfing, that means more waves of all kinds for the rest of us in Scandinavia, the UK, The Great Lakes, South East Asia in the Monsoon and all the other spots that take just too much love of surfing to do.

[suppaduppa5]

sick how there's waves, but I think it's pointless going through all that cold just for a crap wave

[josiahsixkiller]

@suppaduppa5 Sure but wait around for the 40 footers and you'll be in serious trouble

[bluntedbanana]

@53johnnyb thats how i do it :)

[hitthecouch]

It's snowing and 20 out and lake Erie is supposed to be 6 feet tomorrow! Hell yeah!

[JacobMatan]

the ice formed on the hood of his wetsuit when he gets out!!!

[53johnnyb]

So to escape a rip current you swim straight to shore right?

[pmegyerdi]

PROPS



[foodabz]

crazy!

[andrew08x]

That is so sick, those waves are perfect

[AirlayLeekoh]

gorgeous sets. 

[jerseyRJ]

thats BS man..... friggin lake gets better waves than the Atlantic

[bobhedstrom]

I'm a medium size, average Swede, and I just go fishin in the big lake after the snow's thawed. When I go surfing I do that in the summertime, too. And like normal people, I GO SKIING IN THE WINTER. Great surfing I'll say, if you like scraping the ice off yer fin before ya go in. bbbbbbbbbbboB

[jkid4141]

hey that looks fun....oh wait theres ice on his suit nevermind

[skipast75]

Great Video. Surfing in the cold is for the experience. We get waves here like this in the spring and fall too. In the Fall, the water is usually warmer then the air temp. This spot is just north of Duluth. There are several other spots too. Stoney Point is usually the best. Park Point beach right in the city can get good, and is all sand. But the Under toe can be scary if the outer sand bar breaks.

[HudsonvileHolligans]

I surf here in grand haven michigan i love it,,,,

[WhatRofl]

personally I don't think its worth it copping those freezing cold temperatures, I mean don't get me wrong those waves are good but, nothing perfect, travel to hawaii, or indonesia same kind of waves but warm.

[hitthecouch]

@WhatRofl People often don't have the option to travel to those places and have to work with the lake waves where they live. Red Bull made the vid in the lake because it's different and unique.

[WhatRofl]

@hitthecouch Yeah I know that I'm not saying that Red Bull made a bad decision or the surfers are stupid, I'm just saying personally theres no way I would do that, especially considering I live in australia where the coldest the water pretty much ever gets is 16 at the coldest.

[hitthecouch]

@WhatRofl We're landlocked and at times it sucks. If I had the option to move to the coast I would. Surfing in ice cold temps is all about being passionate about it or whatever your sport is. You know it's something that burns inside you when our options are few. Hell, it was 25 Fahrenheit (Idk the metric temp) today and I went mountain biking on a frozen trail out of pure love for the sport. I guess you could say some of us are a little crazy.

[WhatRofl]

@hitthecouch Yeah I completely understand, where I live is a coastal area, that barely ever gets cold, and theres good waves that I could go out in just boardshorts, so you can't blame me for thinking this is a little crazy :p I'd probaly do the same if I was in a similar situation

[dexxboyy]

@WhatRofl WITH FREAKING MAN EATING SHARKS AFTER YOU!

[mawsea07]

I went there last fall, it was flat. I did surf lake michigen, waist high but crazy one second interval....endless duck diving.....it was fun and I even hooked a salmon.

[vombaurs]

all go in my trunks

[PointGuardTalentAgen]

you guys are legends...good on you.

[skoot4lifemedia]

You have some balls to go in that water!!!!

[katyrb17]

where was this?

[superiorsurf]

@katyrb17 Minnesota

[88railman]

minnesota canadian border

[Mrbaconbits1996]

Those waves look pretty clean. I bet they were freezing balls tho

[futureprowreslter]

go figure... maybe u can surf anywhere :-)

[nyyankees4296]

how often are there waves

[matti1804]

Nothing better then a good dive in that lake every morning. :D

[Wrkncacnter777]

@808bayside They're called the great lakes for a reason. More ships have been lost to just Lake Superior, where they were surfing, than to the Bermuda triangle, possibly most famous being the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

@Wrkncacnter777

is that so? wow!

[broccoli123456789]

this is so sick

[chulieho]

that was epic.great surfing jamie.

[scauny]

I love surfing the great lakes, but this video really shows how much less power great lake waves really have....did you see how slow he was going and how lethargic his turns were on those big waves!!!! Still surfing though!!!! Kudos to Red Bull for showing people that with passion the possibilities are endless and major props to Sterling for coming out here and checking it out!!!!!

[808bayside]

what? there's waves in lakes? wow.. how little knowledge i know

[Isk8g00d]

[salmmonster]

@MrTommy123g Isn't this in Minnesota?

[peckawoodd]

I have a new respect for the Great Lakes.

[whitestrat06]

Check out 'The Australian Surfing Forum' site!

You can find it via facebook, or search for it in google!

[Paytontengar]

does he remind anyone else of jack black?



[nippliez]

or you could go someplace warmer...

[surffbear1]

The boards they are riding are the "Rusty Dwarts" those are sick boards for those conditions.

[theMboelens]

these guys are the bomb!

[germantaco34]

surfers are gay

[jamiemicka]

@germantaco34 totally agree with you

[liam4458]

@jamiemicka 100%

[titis4life1]

@germantaco34 so y r u watching this

[ATMfromNJ]

@germantaco34 jealous much? you wish you could kill it like that dude. but keep hating dude; i'm sure it will get you far in life bro.

[Ducknbob8]

@germantaco34 I have been surfing for 25 years and traveled much..... And I have never met A Fudge Packing Surfer........

[Clement33185]

I lived there for a year and I missed surfing so bad! I always thought there could be some good surfing in that lake but it's so damn cold!! Amazing video!

[mattbpatterson]

boo cold water

[noordkant]

That board looks great for mushy waves. Could you give mne the specs of that board?

[88railman]

@noordkant

don't know that board but if you surf lake waves i highly reccomend the channel islands pod, not the best for choppy but if its clean there's nothing better

[surfmaster999]

Red Bull is a heart attack in a can Drink Zija for real energy



[TheIceHoler]

beastin

[trinii2debone]

[boz2094]

[61phantom]

[theophil86]

[TohaBgood2]

[srf347]

[whatfur]

Fresh water.



[myuinca]

Are the great lakes fresh or salt water?

[harvdoo]

@myuinca fresh

[wpk50]

@myuinca freshwater. 

[dasheitmulum]

god i love my home hawaii

[mccma306]

i like the part where they surf

[biking4me]

common redbull, don't use the same song in twice

[Rory99M]

i just looked up 20deg Fahrenheit, cause didn't how cold that was, apparently thats -6.67 degrees celsius. How is that possible to surf in, I think I'm hardcore in 7 or 8 degrees celsius. what kind of wetsuits do they use?

[joshcannonball]

@Rory99M 6/5/4 with 7 mil boots and gloves. it's not so bad.

[lemonrind]

@Rory99M I think he's talking about the air temperature with the windchill factor. The water is warmer. If the water were that cold, it would be frozen.

[deejmirmar]

Beaver Bay in Duluth??? eh?

[elijahcolgan]

Love the smile on his face at the end. Living in Maine I know the feeling. Surfing in cold water is a true test of your soul.

[moeterbank]

<-- check out

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

[Adio5o1]

Yea yea that's sick! There's a big surf spot where I live. It's on lake michigan. Northport check it out!

[brandonbenedit]

"but it's all good" (fuck. i'm fucking cold.)

[Syrionn]

Not a real man till you have ice hanging off your swimsuit.

[NickMAI2Y]

Red Bull Staff, could you give us the name of the song please.

Thanx.

[redbull]

@NickMAI2Y "6pm in the morning" by jr kong

[massey1984]

When I lived in Marquette, MI, I would go to the black rocks to watch the waves during storms. In November and March, there were many times when they would be 10 to 14 feet. If you are really lucky, you can get 20 plus foot waves out there in November, March and possibly early April. I kind of miss being able to head to the black rocks to watch the waves during a storm.

P.S. Lake Superior is an inland freshwater sea.

[jaystaystill]

[crv26]

i cannot not believe this! a lake? freaking awesome

[DomKnowles1]

Ice hood lol

[FXmotion]

haha icicles on ice hood :D :D

[Hemulen40]

Gr8 Lakes - gr8 Waves ! ( :

[irvine646464]

Amazing ! Surf in water at this temperature must be different because the molecules are squeezed and friction is different....but the buoyancy shall remain the same (physical science truth)

[AscensionVisuals]

@irvine646464 buoyancy doesn't because the moment that cold water hits your giblets you'll ghasp and sink lol :P

Even on a 80% humid day that water can never be warm enough to really enjoy... still amazing place to see, though. Take a trip in July. The lake effect will offset the intense humidity we get here.

[wewille]

well that didnt look cold

[snowlover71]

i wanna surf

[thenebelwerk]

i love this energy drink :D youre vids are very nice!

[Jgaffmx]

SICK!! :P

[Tomi168]

OMG this the second redbull video that I've seen and still no name of the song???

Go see how people are freaking out for the song on Grete Eliassen's ski jump video!

thumbs up if you want redbull to give out the song!

[pangrac1]

cráááááázy :)

[PBHism]

I wonder if the fresh water feels different that salt water -- I wonder if the board floats and planes differently, or not as well, etc.

[theNOYESproductions]

@PBHism Yea, u can feel ur less boyant in the fresh water... the water also is much more choppy and bumpy...

[TheAdamStead]

@PBHism its great , i think it feels better 

[oscarfouz23]

Dam, i would freeze my balls off.

[RobertGoulet298]

Hell yeah! Colder than NE, with some size!!

[thecoopmeister]

hey you guys wanna go surf in antarctica? k

[kristofvanzeir]

there goes my secret surf spot! dude

[xieper]

That is one big ass lake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(excuse my surprise... we don't have lakes like that in the UK)

[lemonrind]

@xieper Indeed; the surface area of the Great Lakes is larger than land area of the United Kingdom! Lake Superior alone would cover 63% of England. Lake Superior is wider than the distance between London and Glasgow.

[TheDwill1234]

Duluth mn REP

[knifewerkz]

omg redbull ninja XD

[reaperisgrim]

HELL NAW... I'D FREEZE!

[thekillerz12345]

[kallan02]

[GARRETtKILLZz]

[1997trickster]

[pacmania09]

Surfing in a Lake, I wouldn't. What are beaches for... WTF.

[topherwallace]

Hey, I saw Jamie Sterling in a surf vid of peru. I think the Icicles hanging off of his hood at the end of the vid is one of the most extreme things I have ever seen

[crktp7]

awesome video as always redbull, what's the name of the song?

[Lucrestyle]

Killer!

[dumbbroadcasts]

redbull+surfing=awsome

[RichPrepKid8888]
