wow that looks great. I have a question for peopel in the knpw - i am moving to chicago for 5 years to do my phd. i am from cornwall in england where it gets medium coldish in the winter (you need a 5mil, boots gloves, hood) so I'm not too worried about that. Any ideas where i can get a wave near Chicago? by the way, You cant believe how relieved I amto see proper waves in the great lakes - i was dreading having to wait til myholidays to get in
Well before yesterday, surfing was illegal in Chicago but we finally go it (partially) re-opened after 20+ years. 41st Beach will be open to surf all year, Montrose, Osterman, 57th St & Rainbow will be open Labor Day - Memorial Day. Many guys travel to WI or IN however, but they have sworn me to secrecy on those spots. Actually, its not that hard to find if you look.
yeahhhhhh!! surf 4 life. i started surfing this past summer and am truely addicted. my friend let me use his bord for a cupple of minutes and the very next day i bought an Up North 5'10" fish. i am addicted for life. i am on a surf high!
Grand Haven. Had a fun session with the boys last Thursday with those thunderstorms, 3-6' waves and very little wind. Surfed 4 hours... damn, I am addicted!
i am so stoked for this fall...i bought an underwater housing for my video camera. also this past summer i bought a surfboard and this is my first real year of surfing. i bought a 5'10" up north fish, its like riding on a little peice of heavin. last week i already expirenced some of the powerful and extrordanary fall waves of lake michigan. i live in gh so im always checkin out the waves. hey, maybe i will see ya out there.
its a new style of surfing that i truly loved.. ive surfed the world.. and theres nothing exotic like riding in crazy fresh water.. thanks for continuing to promote it man!

So the Great Lakes do have some type of wave. Looks too damn cold for me to be in the water. I'll stick to paradise...

To be honest, some of those waves look pretty darn fun -- especially on my Channel Island Bandit. Good job...

don't listen to the naysayers, they are almost always wrong. But you do need to surf well to surf shortboard, you need to be able stay in the pocket.

I surfed at least 6-8 times in trunks, some days just a rash guard, others a 2mm top and trunks.

I know GL surfers do not get too much practice... We are getting better though. Watch the 8 minute piece.
