I guess this is the year of surfboard shows. Inside Out Gallery in Traverse City, MI has five Burly boards on the wall, an insane amount of art from other artists, great beer on tap, and no lie the best Bloody Mary I have ever had. If you are in the neighborhood, check it out.
Welcome to the world of surfboard building and surfing in the Great Lakes. Though our waves can't compete with most major breaks in the world, we do get plenty of decent surf, without the crowds. Some people compare surfing on the lakes to what surfing used to be on the ocean in the 60's and 70's. We are still trying to figure out what type of boards work well in fresh water, there are many undiscovered surf spots, and the community here is among the most welcoming. So here we are, enjoy.
