A place for Great Lakes surfers to connect
Aloha!
Great Lakes surfers need an outlet. Somewhere to hang out, talk smack, share photos and videos, plan sessions, and meet other like-minded lovers of the lakes. For this, FreshCoast was born.

"watching this makes me crave for some surf even more! That spot is good Bro!"

"Nicely presented.
I have surfed this board, it was a blast at waist high. It was custom shaped for expat Garrett Thayer, for the Lakes and cost a small fortune.
I recommend someone grab it, "

Stuck at work today. Sometimes being a chef can really make it hard to get out and meet people. Just ordered a Gravity 46" Into The Blue in hopes it can help with my training and being stuck inside. The guys at BC Surf and Sport in Florida are hooking me up. Hope to hear from anyone that has pointers and wouldn't mind including a newby that really wants to learn.

Sunset paddle

You dont need waves, although they make it more fun,
just a sunset paddle today with myself and a too small windsurf board at tiny beaches. If anyone is in the area let me know. it's a lot more fun than it sounds. middle of woodland out deep is the paddle out. just rocks and sand, great on a no wave day.
