NY Times story by Stephen Regenold on Great Lakes surfing
January 18, 2009
The first waves I learned to surf on were breaking on the Northwest shore of Lake Superior. When I was an undergrad at the University of Minnesota Duluth I made my way to breaks like Stoney Point and the Lester River to feel the energy of wave riding. I did so in whitewater kayaks, partly because it was a discipline I already knew how to do and partly because it kept me out of the freezing water better than a surf board.
Since then, I have learned to surf long boards on the Oregon coast and last year took a trip down to Costa Rica for my first ever warm water waves. What a difference! No 5 mm wetsuits, booties, hoods, or gloves. Just a suit, a board, and sunburn. Bring it.
For a great story on the cold water waves I am more accustom to, check out this by writer (and gear junkie) Stephen Regenold.
