Hunting Waves



I hope all of you are enjoying the full brunt of the wave season. If there is one thing I have learned over these years of looking for surf in far, but local places, is that the search and the score are what makes living here in the Great Lakes such a special thing. Set-ups are extremely fickle and difficult to line up. But, when everything comes together, and you look around at nuances that go unnoticed by the casual observer, the true magic appears. The Gales of November will fire up some of those fickle little gems and they will show their glory. So pick up a detailed map and head out searching, the worst you will find is another sloppy beach break, but you just might find something you will never forget.

The Search, Chilled



I had some awesome waves up north this weekend, and this video helped me get in the right state of mind to go searching. Although the cold came a bit early this year, it just means we are having more waves to surf. So get out there hogs and live the dream!

Also, check out this guys website. His article in Surfers' Journal this month was fantastic.

Lake Superior This Weekend


All time shot. One day I will pull into one of those freshwater beauties. I surfed mushers all weekend, but nothing like that. This shot fuels my desire to make it up to Superior before the season is over.
