Chopper, are you getting your self mentally prep'd for Sheboygan? That was a huge day. Awesome racing oceanside is a great surf spot especially by the pier. If it gets that big in Sheboygan, it will be 5 times more difficult. You'll have 3-4 second intervals between waves vs 10-20 second intervals on the pacific.

[Chopper]

Yeah, now that is what I am talking about!

hey cane, the surf is the same at Sheboygan as the west coast. same timing and sets. you will have to see this when the winds come from the southeast or the northeast, i did not belive it till i got to ride it. 5 and 6 foot waves with sets to die for. full on ****ing, man!SURFS UP!!!![:0]

[cane700]

Very nice!! I've heard good things about this spot over the years. I can't wait.

I hope we get some good waves out there, I have a lakehouse in michigan on the lake, 10 miles north of st. joseph and i've been out there with 8ft breaking waves before, its a rush like no other. That would be nutz if we had holeshots in to 8 ft breaking waves haha.

There was a small craft warning there today with 7'+waves!

Butch (Tyler Vosters), Zack, Eddie and myself were ON Lake Michigan last night and the swells were over 8 feet. It was unbelievable. Coming out of the Harbor, you were pretty much staring death in the face. There is no way to describe what it was like. You have to see it to believe it. Those guys were easily over 25 feet above the water on some of the jumps.

Nice! I hope those waves hold up for next weekend cause then its gonna be killer racing!

The waves made for some intense racing. I know I had most likely the best seat in the house out there on the water.
