Surfing in a giant and frigid body of freshwater might not be everyone’s idea of paradise, but for landlocked surfers, it’s a lifestyle that is embraced with gusto. Great Lakes surfing is challenging, but for the brave men and women who surf there, the obstacles provide a sense of adventure. While Midwest lake surfing can be rewarding, it is important to know some key things before you go.
