Have you tasted the different flavors of surfing?- the salty ocean, the sweet freshwater lakes, and even the earthy rivers. Yes, surfing is where the waves are. We owe a fifth of our surface freshwater reservoir to the Great Lakes: Michigan, Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. Four of these majestic bodies of waters are what shape the coastlines of Michigan. Due to its sheer size coupled with localized wind systems, surfing is indeed possible in the Great Lakes. Because of the unique surfing environment, it’s not for nothing that surfers are welcomed by a tough challenge with a dash of pure excitement!
