Surfing Lake Superior
If you haven't noticed lately, freshwater surfing is catching on, even on very cold Lake Superior, with an average yearly temperature of 40 degrees F. Favorite surfing breaks are becoming more and more popular all around the Big Lake, and no wonder, Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. Here's a few of my favorites from the four years now ( wow-been that long??? ) of photographing mainly the Marquette MI crew on the south shore of Lake Superior. One of the local surfers here has been surfing these breaks in Marquette since the 70's, although the lineup has grown considerably in the past few years. Marquette surfers, if you are interested in contributing to this blog, running this blog or developing something for the Marquette surf crew, give me a shout(mqtphoto{at} aol.com) and lets see what develops. It would be nice to have an active U.P. forum with updated info,news,pics,etc,whatever..Hardcore,I'm talkinaboutyou- I KNOW you have some sweet vids.....
