Does any body surf Lake michigan?

Answer 1

Today, since I didn't have time to procure an interview for you, I thought I'd share with you an interview with me. Last weekend, my New York friend Liz revealed to me a part of her life that previously, I could only imagine: the Jersey Shore. You may not know this but Chicago is situated on a Great Lake, thus negating any reason to get stuck in traffic in order to get to the beach.

This question has been asked a few times.  Yes there is surf on the Great Lakes and yes there are surfers in Michigan.  Go online and check out the Great Lakes Surfing Association.  You will find about everything you need.  I only surfed there once, during the summer, and the water was cold.  Also, the swells are similar to the Gulf rather then the East or West Coast.
