Absolutely, Positively Insane Surf

The wave looks decent, between 4-6 feet. That's bigger than a lot of California waves. That's about what we get most decent summer days in Oregon. Then winter hits and the Oregon coast gets epic. Scary big. Like 10-20 feet crash down pile drive your head into the sand bar big. So what makes the little wave pictured so absolutely, positively insane? This is a shot of Minnesota's North Shore, icy cold Lake Superior. All those years I could have been surfing...

Next time I go back to Minnesota, I'm bringin' a board. Just so I can surf in my home state. Bet the waves aren't crowded either.
