- I don't know about board surfing but there are some sea kayakers who go
- out of their way to kayak-surf on Superior. Armed with drysuits, hoods,
- gloves and other hypothermia protection some of these paddlers (mostly
- from the Chicago area) are crazy enough to have a "Gales of November"
- event where they ride the *very* frigid winter waves of Lake Superior.
-
- Personally, I'd rather stick with kayaking or canoeing Isle Royale, the
- Apostle Islands or the Pukaskwa area of Lake Superior in August.
- Getting back to Superior every year is a great relief from the humid 95
- degree summers of central Florida where I now live!
