When the wind is blowing here in the Keweenaw, Lake Superior is rolling. Debbie Jarve was out at the Breakwaters, by McLain State Park recently and captured some daring wind surfers riding the waves. Debbie said it was fun watching these guys and gals carving through the wind and water like this. She talked to one of the girls who said she has surfed in Oregon a lot, but this was her first time in Lake Superior and said she loves it. It looks quite exhilarating, but I’ll stay on shore where Debbie was, thank you!

We have a neat video of those brave windsurfers, too. Some with sails catching the wind, some just riding the waves with their boards. They sure have a sense of adventure!

Maybe if i had the skill set required to do this i'd be enticed to try, but i'm not even sure of that. Look at those bare hands & feet - seems like you'd be freezing in 5 minutes! But obviously i'm focusing on the problems rather than the fun. Good for them to be out there enjoying Superior! Thanks Debbie & Mary!

Jbuck, you'd be surprised. When
the waves are crazy like that is
when that water is warmest. If the
darn air hadn't have been so cool
this month, I'd have been in that
water, too. But it was hot when we
were on our cruise, so we missed
that opportunity. However, I would
not do what they're doing. I would
be sitting with Debbie and Mary.
Would love watching them, though.

Cool set! Riding to shore…Surfers galore.
Mary, are you a poet and don’t know it?
And catching wind…I did that just
this morning.
Zaui-Maui, that was one of the coolest
video’s I’ve seen yet. They definitely
have, how do you say it, Susie?

Wow...that's some hard core surfers. Good for them!
Get your fun in now! I've read a couple of
different weather predictions. One says a "Mild
Winter" like last year. (GROSS...I hate rain in
Jan, Feb, etc) and one that shows snow starting in
the middle of November and the first day it's not
snowing is the middle of January. So....who
knows....but it's still liquid now. So surf on!
