it shoudl be fun, i just hope they use fresh water, but boards float differently in fresh, so theyll probably have to use salt water, but im used to it so it deosnt matter

You see, if people in Milwaukee surfed, they would get stuck in the viscous solution of watered down feces, thanks a plenty to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.

Ain't that nice. :p People in Rhode Island and Connecticut surf, its not big waves or anything, the water is usually cold but i guess they do it just for fun.

the basic good place in the us for surf, as much of a cliche as it is, is california, places like mavericks, jaws, and that, if anyone has heard of laird hamilton, he has an american express comercial, so thats him, he basically started the spot mavericks, and also invented tow-in surfing, where you go behind a jet-ski, and they drop you into a 30-50 foot wave
