>>1872709Lake Michigan has had a very active surfing community since the 60's. I've met guys from the US here on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. Wagner Surf Club used to have forum buts it has been gone for some years now. I learned on the lakes and have never surfed in salt water.
>>1872787A long board is needed. I use a 8'2" of unknown origin I bought off a South African guy in Toronto. I also have a Canyon 7' for the rare days waves gets bigger but it often means paddling out into a washing machine. My beater is a Bic Malibu.
