Welcome, welcome, welcome...!
In the past few years I have found myself trying to do what most people would say to be impossible and crazy. However, with time and help of people I've met along the way I started finding my path to achieving one of my many goals. Today, I can proudly say I surf the Great Lakes of North America.
To some of you, this might sound shocking or unbelievable. To some others -probably just a few- it sounds familiar and awesome. It doesn't really matter on what extreme of my audience you find yourself. At the end, the final goal of this blog is
for me to share withe the world the great adventures me and my friends get into while trying to get to surf waves in the Great Lakes.

These waves are produced by large storms crossing over the regions of the Great Lakes. These storms are particularly strong and consistent during Fall, Winter and Spring. Sometimes, air temperature drops below freezing temperatures reaching up to -25 Celsius with windshield. It is at these times that our will to surf is challenged by mother nature and only a few brave, passionate-driven and crazy dudes come out in search of perfect waves.

Great first entry Antonio! As a fellow passioante surfer I share your stoke for surfing and the will to do anything to find a wave and experience the essence that surfing offers.

Pat it is great that you share the same stoke for surfing. It is definitely a passion that cannot be explained easily. Please not only keep tuned but ask for certain things you would like answers to or even more, that you want to hear or talk about in particular!
DeleteSee you in the line up bro!
I've never thought you'll be surfing up there with such a weather and so tiny waves.
ReplyDeleteAmazing uh. I'll be on the track for your next post. Keep on while I'll try to meet some of the buds at makaha.
If somebody had told me 6 or 7 years ago that I would be surfing the great lakes during winter time I wouldn't have believed it. Not even a bit. Sometimes now, when I am surfing I still find it hard to believe. It's like I am in a different dimension ....
