The Chicago Tribune ran a piece on lake surfing a few days ago, with accompanying video clip.
We had gotten together to honor our recently fallen friend, Magilla Schaus, and there happened to be waves so the guys went surfing. This day represents well what makes our small surfing community special; these were probably the worst waves most of the guys (and girls) had surfed in a long time, but we were there for a good reason and it was the right thing to do.
The Tribune guys asked me if I thought the average Great Lakes surfer was tougher than the average coastal surfer. I said Yes.
