Where there's a will, There's a wave

Still thinking about that last surf trip in the dead of winter, on the coldest day of winter to date, with open water waning on Lake Superior. The water was right on the edge of freezing, as evidenced by the growing surface ice. It was interesting how the surface ice that was forming,from a surfer's point of view, acted as kelp beds in turning the water to glassy condition, something you rarely see on the lakes. The two choices of surfable waves that day were blown out waves at Hurricane River, had bigger waves, but a nasty sidewind, -or- sheltered Grand Sable Dunes,smaller waves, but awesomely glassy. With such positive stoke in the air, on this day it was Grand Sable. The only way down to the waves was a 300 ft slippery steep slope down the frozen dune of Log Slide-can't wait to get back to this spot again under more forgiving conditions.

Grand Sable waves- more pics from the Grand Sable surf trip available at a later date.
