Great Lakes surfing culture has its share of characters. "Big Rig" Billy McCoy is right at the top of the list.
Residing in central Wisconsin, Billy is a long haul trucker. He's known to strap his board to the back of his semi cab for a quick sesh after making a delivery, make all of his own equipment from scratch, log countless of hours in the search for surf, and drive around in his "Longboard Limo" - a converted hearse.
He may not be the best surfer in the world, but it's guys like him that embody the pure joy that many of us get from this thing called surfing.
