Why are there no surfers? There are surfers on lake Erie The biggest thing now is wind surfing. Those guys fly through the air it's mesmerizing to watch. They put on dry suits and I've seen them in the lake when it's water temp is 40°. Although I'm not one to talk, did a polar bear swim with the Marine corps post for many years raising funds for juvenile diabetes

Why are there no surfers? Danny I seen a couple people with surf boards when I was over to lake Michigan fishing. I know there have been surfers for years. Might be that the water is fairly cool even in summer. Mac

From shore I have safely seen very large waves on Lake Erie. The power in the water is amazing.
Back one summer day when I was 20 years old, I was a guest on a large boat on Lake Erie. The engine died as a major storm approached. Unfortunately a tornado developed and it came right over us. The waves were immense. The wind was deafening. Only by God’s grace did everyone survive. Miracles happened that day.
For a good read about weather developing suddenly and placing lives in peril, look up writings about “The day the duck hunters died”.
RP - why do you think this winter will be rough?
Thanks for the video. I have not seen that before. Many important images!
Best wishes. I might be overthinking it but by the amount of walnuts the trees produced this year. I don't remember seeing so many before plus the farmers almanac states that it will be a cold snowy winter in this part of the country. Also, we are due for a bad one. But with that said who knows what mother nature has in store for us.

Just got back from Lake Michigan. Both of the piers are under water and puking out over the channel walls past the old Coast Guard station.
I’m guessing 6-8 at the present time increasing later tonight.
Danny no surfers but did see a couple of kite boarders running toward the water with all of their gear
A goose may honk....but he won't wave
