Howdy . . . I'm new here, but an older guy with a job that has relegating him to settle a few miles from the western shores of Lake Michigan (Illinois). Always wanted to live in California or Hawaii . . but thats not how it worked out. Nevertheless, I tried to learn how to surf as a teenager in NJ, and then gave up all hope of ever doing it again when I moved out here. So . . . how many crazy guys are out in Illinois/Wisconsin who actually try to surf the lake . . . and where do you go to do it?

There are only a few surf shops in this region:
Third Coast in New Buffalo MI

EOS:

There are very fewlocal shapers/board builders in this area (myself included, but I’m in Minneapolis)
Let me know if you make it over to Superior.
