That looks horrible! You don't want random waves like that, you want lines and separation. The only way to get lines on the Great Lakes is to ride near breaks and reefs. The entire north shore of Lake Superior is NOT ideal for this. The north shore is a steep drop off and rocky. The south shore is the direct opposite, shallow entry and sandy. Also Duluth us tucked away back in a bay, which means it'll only get good waves from one general direction.
This is why I ride Sheboygan, WI on Lake Michigan. It's located on an elbow, where it's exposed to more wave action. It has sand reefs that clean up the surf before it gets to shore. This gives the waves a chance to break multiple times and assimilate. I've seen longer lines riding in Sheboygan than I've seen at Daytona, just not as much separation.
We're having the Third Coast Freeride this weekend and next. We'll be in Sheboygan at Kohler-Andrae State Park. I chose a state park because, one it's public, two it has the easiest beach cart landing ever, and three it has about 2 miles of public beach you can pull up on, in case you break down.
Can you feel it? ~WAVES~ARE~COMING~
