Judy Byykkonen was at McLain State Park recently, when the wind was whipping Lake Superior into some wave action. She said she was surprised there were so many cars there and was thinking there were others there hiking, too, but when she got closer to the Big Lake, she saw these guys out there surfing the gnarly waves. (That’s surfer talk in case you didn’t know). Another saying surfer dudes use, is “the best surfer out there is the one having the most fun!” These guys sure must be having fun, because surfing in the wind and cold water can’t be pleasant, unless you’re having such a good time you don’t feel Lake Superior’s cold waters.

The surfing video was made in Marquette with one surfer that defies the Big Lake chill. He’s out there catching the waves in shorts and performing some interesting antics on his board.

Oh yeah...oh yeah! That's it...I was anticipating
the "Ninja Dudes", but the "Swim Trunks Dude"
stole the show.

Great pics and video, I'm thinking some 90 proof
antifreeze might have been consumed before
hand!!!!! :))

Had a stint in the hospital from 12/1-12/8,
thought I might have the flu or Covid but I
tested negative for both. Turned out to be a
Staph Infection, which I have no idea how I
acquired it!! Received IV antibiotics everyday I
was in and left with a pic line for the next 4-6
weeks for daily antibiotics. Need to make sure
that no vegetation accumulated around my new
heart valves, otherwise it would have meant
another surgery trip to U of M. Feeling good now
and taking it day by day. If it's not one thing
it's another! 2020 go away we all want to get
this year behind us, bring on those
vaccinations!!

Actually UC, it's called a "Staff Infection"
because you've be mess'n around with them nurses
again.
Glad to hear your okay.

Yeah, "Swim Trunks Dude"
stole the show for sure.

Thanks for the update, Uncle Chuck! <3

Great post!

Love the lighthouse picture! The surfers always seem crazy - the guys in the wet suits...... but the video of the guy in swim trunks?!! Yikes!!!

UC, sorry to hear of recent events but glad to hear you're out and doing better. And happy to hear there were no complications. Take care of yourself.
