Go to the NWS website and look at the waves theyre calling for for the next week. 12 to 18 ft.? even if its only 6 to 8 thats still a big deal for the great lakes. I wonder if anyone will brave the sub zero temps http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS63.KLOT.html
Think a hooded 6/5 with 7 mil boots and 5 mil gloves would be enough. I'd go. I've always wanted to surf the Great Lakes haha. May be a road trip in the near future.
very cool stuff....especially an unnamed point break in Minnesota. Talk about COLD. http://www.greatlakesurfing.com/
