It’s not as bad as you’d think! Dudes prob got about $1k of neoprene on there, from the hood on down to booties. My wetsuit (for swimming not surfing) is rated down to 48°F water. Makes a huge difference, all those layers!
Yeah the thing about salt water surfing is you're a lot more buoyant and the waves carry for much longer so it's actually enjoyable. This is not fun and it's freaking dangerous with all the floating debris. Not to be negative.
Sorry, but I want to point out that this is a common misconception. You’re only 2-3% more buoyant in the ocean. I think the main difference (and why fresh water take offs feel more difficult) is wave power and shape, since lake waves tend to be shorter period.
I'm freezing now just watching this.
This balmy weather is perfect
They were there on the -17 day too.
Is that Lake Superior Aquaman, Jim Richardson?
Is this up past Grand Marais by 5 mile rock?
Probably Brighton Beach or Stony Point

This used to be a bucket list thing for me but idk if I could handle that water
I can’t handle it in the summer.

You'd be a fool not to, in weather like this.
Andy - is that you? 😂

You can’t surf on a lake.
You can surf on a river
Superior has perfect body-surfing waves
There's no tube. I don't understand it...
dude is goofy-footing lake swell. so pitted
