    I am headed to Chicago in December and am considering renting a board if there is surf. I don't know the consistency but that would be something awesome to say I have done..... like the time I tried to surf OCMD bay sandbar close to the inlet and had the coast guard called

    Wow nice pic! looks like fun!

    I just surfed the lake about a month ago for the first time, visiting there from jersey. I gotta say, its a must do! There is nothing like being able to drink a little of the water when your thirsty! lol its so weird surfing fresh water for some reason... bring your wetsuit and find a board!!!

    well, its fresh water! lol you would probably get sick drinking large amounts, but its not like salt water.

    I didn't notice any bouyancy issues while surfing, but when swimming. I was riding a longboard too

    That's awesome. What are the water temps there now? How was september, I've always heard that's by far the best month on Lake Michigan
