- Waves along Lake Superior's frozen northern coast can be just as good as any found in the ocean. Just don't expect surfing them to be easy.

Its fun to see things like this rather than the main stream surf spots. Keep it up!
I love live in Duluth MN and Stoney Point is 20 mins from my house. The break is fun, even in Summer when we get a good storm that blows in swell. Thanks for checking out our spot!
" Thanks for checking out our spot"..don't hear that often if ever.. but obviously these places take care of themselves. Great vibe and people in cold places take care of each other. The post-surf pub and fireplace scene must be awesome !
I was out trolling by Stony last October during that big storm and saw a bunch of people surfing, we thought maybe it was time to head in. Waves were huge
Same here! I'm 15 minutes away from Stoney. Whenever I'm driving up to check out the swells or see what's happening I always think how amazing it is to have the opportunity to do stuff like this. You can be in farm fields one hour and surfing the next. I love it 🤘
yeah boi its burton, the most chilled ive ever seen him, hes always amped on ben gravy vlogs
The Great lakes,! incredible...now I can't complain about surfing the cold NE and having to drive 1 hour since I moved...inspiration. You guys are hardcore. Great surfing!
thankyou Sir
4:20
what an awesome video...
Water temperature on the Texas coast right now is 87 degrees (7/27/2020) - surfing waves from Hurricane Hanna. I really admire these guys for surfing in the dead of winter on Lake Superior, but at 61 years old I'm more of a warm water surfer - I'll leave the harsh weather surfing to the young guys! Great Video - I've watched it more than a few times.
Wow this stuck to me like no surf video in a long time
honorable. here is your open invite to come up and visit and surf here sometime.....stoney point surf spot on fb...
E Wilkie Thanks, pretty far away but maybe one day, never know
i agree i keep coming back to watch this one... damn sure hope one day to be able to surf this place.. amazing stuff.. all you guys surfing there thats just amazing..
...we're just having fun.....thankyou.......come visit someday,...look us up.
@@ahbwisurfnpaddle Hey Erik!!! It's Sean! Fun to see friends on other threads!
5:37 one of the best lake waves I've seen
Stepkov K typical one Michigan. Mainly up north and near Grand Haven Michigan. Love my state
Damn, the waves in the second part are legit good.
Legit, f'ing crazy right?!
Stony point absolutely swells out.
It will sometimes be a 30 second interval.
Gets as big as triple overhead
Nothing better than surfing in freshwater. Great lakes for life.
Yeahh By! We've had a terrible month
No sharks
Those those waves at the end of the video were mind blowing for a lake or even the ocean. They were pumping. Looked like lots of power and size. Really cool video.
Right?!!
haha at the beginning with the icicles off the hoods was like f that, then that wedge at the end... sign me up!
Unreal to see fresh water sets
wooow...
that's rad !
I just had a nice 2hrs sesh in Baltic Sea, similar to the Great Lakes....but it was still warmer, around 15°C ;)
the break at 4:03 actually looks worth it and rad! i'd love to suit up and hit that - barrels in fresh water? come on
Actually looks worth it?
I've got swallowed up under 12 feet
One of the best A frames I've rode.
Better than anything i found in Hawaii.
Mostly a directional brake.
You can go right or left on this
Loved the Video! I've always heard the lakes were surf-able but never knew it was as good as this! Thanks for posting!!!!
North Shore surfing 🏄 Minnesota’s Finest!!!
The spirit of surfing - nothing like it
ha! That was unreal! That got me amped! I get to surf Oxnard in the morning, but I'll be thinkung about this video.
I'm not a surfer but this is cool! I'm in Michigan. Have you ever heard of Surfer Dan? He's made quite a name for himself winter surfing on Lake Superior over in Marquette, Michigan. He's pretty hard core!
hardcore DAn...famous !
Hell yeah! Minnesota proud! 🤙🤙🤙
Seem like pretty chill dudes.
...and a few cool chicks sometimes too....
VERY GOOD SURFERS AND SURF...BLESS AMERICA!
04:12, getting covered in Minnesota!! WTF!
The best great lakes surfing footage I've seen..awe inspiring
Nice to see that lakes have better surf than the ocean where I live
IDK Anymore lol
this is why michigan, the great lakes, and the midwest are the best.
...uh,...that's lake superior in the vid, David.
...uh,...do you know what the great lakes are, E Wilkie
Does that E Wilke dude not realize this was in Northern Michigan? I'm north of Chicago and we kite board all through winter! Midwest!
That’s Stoney point MN
Michigan is not in this video. This is the North Shore of Minnesota.
Wow amazing video!!!!! I cant imagine surfing in 50 below zero!
...only gets that cold for a couple days/week or so, in the winter......mostly we surf above freezing air temps.....water near freezing.....33F
I grew up in Grafton wisc...and moved to cali when I was 8....ill always be a cheesehead lol
right on !
no sharks!! bonus
maybe you have Nessi!!
M R.I. Ha no Messi but you can bet your ass this lake won’t let up on you it takes lives and it is cold.
Northern Pike and Muskies have been known to bite.
Top video top surfing and top surfers no contests beautiful video I love it
narly wind and temp. fresh water breaks. great video sir, deeply appreciated for the awesome editing!
Just great footage of Surfing the UP area!!
Actually, Stoney Point is near the western end of lake superior, on the north shore, about fifteen miles from Duluth.
Wow! just amazing!
Well you learn something every day, never thought it would have any power as it's just wind blown, very nice though
This is the only legitimate barrel I've seen on the lakes,awesome
amazing scenes...amazing guys...amazing surf. Human adventure. Bravo.
SO GNARLY!!!!
THAT BARREL THO!!
Soooo good!!!
Absolutely unique! I'm stoked!
This video is so dope.
5:34 That was sick
Im still forcing my head to believe its a lake man look at those barrels
Guys are crazy !!!! I was hoping they were in Maine somewhere cuz thats where i live.... Great to watch ! Nice music too but would rather just hear the waves... GUYS ARE CRAAZZYY !!
I’ve watched this video eight times now. I don’t even surf. I think I have to go to Lake Superior.
Man's game. I don't see the pros lining up to freeze their asses off lol
we have great respect for those pros who do come up and visit for a surf sesh. But you are right,..not too many visit to try......e..
This is cool.
hell yea good ol burt!!!!!! legend
i remember awhile back billabong ( i think ) was working on a wet suit that had a battery pack in it. I don't think they ever put it on the market though. But it seems like someone should be able to figure that out. battery back with wires or something spidering through the suit. if memory serves one of the issues was the battery pack only last ten minutes or something. and I guess you can't really throw a car battery in there, lol.
This is awesome!
Best state ever
5:34 is a beautiful takeoff.
The contest blown out
Was on my list, too... but then i decided ice-skating before my flight went back to the tropics !
Awesome video!!
Waves all over this world
Up you to paddle out !
nice video! north shore is beautiful
...Always an open invite to the real Johnjohn, from SToNeY PoiNT !
that shot at 0:41 was soooo sick
51 below zero - a different breed of human up there! Props!
THESE GUYS GOT SKILLS TOO!
Great video, thanks👍🏽
HELLO WISCONSIN !!!!
nothing better than having a surf sport at stoney point
Great wetsuits. But I wonder how they actually felt in that icy water.
...it feels like being constricted, confined, squeezed and de sensitized. Makes feeling the board below your feet quite difficult thru eight mil booties and seven mil mitts.... When your face gets a simple flush by a winter lip, you get an instant, intense ice cream headache that impedes your vision. When you take a heavy wipe out here at SToNeY, you go deeper in the less buoyant fresh water than in the salt water. Some hit the bottom. Stong outflow currents,...so, Avoid the caves down there, don't wanna get stuck forever. And when your entire suit gets flushed thru your wetsuit face hole during a wipe out, your whole body goes numb a bit right away....nearly blacking out....you know, you Have to keep swimming to retain enough heat to survive. You realize why so many people have drown so quicly here in these waters, fresh kills faster than salt water......Six foot waves come every six seconds here, in sets of ten or more. Several minutes of hold down time potential. Eight foot waves come every eight seconds,....Ten foot waves every ten seconds here. ...... I've surfed overheads in Hawaii, and double overs in SoCal,....but,....SToNeY PoiNT is for sure the most challenging fun, most unique pristeen, cleanest shaped, icy coldest, most intense, drinkable, bucket list wave experience there is.......thankyou for asking clarkewi
+E Wilkie very nice insight, thank you!
you are quite welcome
wow... thanks for writing this. damn.
...I'm honored to get to surf stoney with the local crew....
rad video guys
damn those dudes are hardcore. amazing stuff
Awesome Barrel at 5:45, Nice :)
Stoney point to Grand Portage Bro! Seen 20'+ on our beautiful Norshore!
This is so badass! haha -51. . . worth it
yeah boys!
Nice.
Is the buoyancy different on freshwater?
yes...thicker boards required usually.
Very much different indeed. After a wipe out here, we don't float back up to the surface, like in saltwater,...even with six mil rubber we have to swim back up. Harder for the shortboarders to take off, we ride floatier boards here overall. Lots of gunny longboards too. thanks for asking GPflashclass....
this was so sick, keep that stoke fire burning my cold friends
I think that it is a myth. I surf alot in both the ocean and Lake Michigan and I can't tell the difference. I use the same surfboards, alot of people don't think about the extra weight from a wetsuit. You weigh more just because of the wetsuit and should use a slightly thicker board because of that.
yes the buoyancy is greater in salt water than in fresh water
So Honored to see the SURFER mag crew, Alex G, Burton H., and Mr. Will Wall come to visit here, and surf SToNeY....bitchen,......."..the NEW PHONE BOOKS ARE OUT"....(...just like famous ?...)....the LAKE. Come back and surf again sometime you cats.
looks bloody cold
Yo kelly slaker is in this legend
It looks freaking freezing out there! What do you guys think they are wearing under the wetsuits? I'm just asking because I am a complete ignorant when it comes to cold climates like the ones in the video. I don't think a 5mm wetsuit and some kind of warm underwear are enough.
We wear 6/5 hooded suit with eight mill booties, one mill rubber socks underneath, and seven mill mitts....and whimpy as i am,...i also wear a 3/2 spring suit underneath my full suit.....e...
Any surfer dudes or dudetts out there tell me the difference between surfing saltwater compared to freshwater ? Whether it be technique or board choice... anything... Would love to hear about it !
Jim Lahey if there is enough power in the waves it really doesnt matter whether it is salt or freshwater. epoxy or poly. doesnt matter as long as there is enough lift
...the difference between salt and fresh water ?, yeah, fresh water is quite a bit less buoyant. A longer or floatier board is often the choice....but fresh water is extremely more dangerous that salt, chemically speaking, ...Salt water drowning victims sometime can be rescued and revived after being under for maybe up to ten minutes...but fresh water bursts blood vessels in the lungs upon contact (saltwater does not)...fresh water drowns victims in two minutes or less. Every time.........be care full surfing fresh water.......e....
You generally need a slightly longer board. Not quite as buoyant.
I use a 7'6"
Freshwater waves generally are slower and have less power
That's what I call cold-adapted
How were the waves so big. I went to the gulf and the waves were doodoo
So, the waves get 'huge' (for a lake) because of a few interesting variables. W/ 300 miles of fetch distance on Superior, and the storms moving from the sw toward the ne,...counter clock wise spinning low pressure winds above 25knts. , and twenty degrees of temperature drop, makes those wave impulses, that take about 15- 20 hours of travel time to come down from the top of the lake. AND,...all along minnesota's north shore of the big lake, are steep rocky cliffs that refract, rebuild, and reshape the waves as they travel down. The waves come out of really deep water, and hit the rock 'stair step' reef at Stoney Point. It can be flat looking everywhere else on this end of the lake, and with the right conditions, there can be ten foot waves at stoney at the same time. Lake Superior, an ancient sunken volcano, is indeed, Nature's finest "wave pool".....e.
Some of those were some sweet waves. Could I get away with a 6/5 mm suit?
Batfink easily. Make sure you’ve got 8mil booties and 7mil+ mittens and you’ll be good. I would not recommend trying to change out of your suit until you get home. It’s brutally cold
I got a 6/5mm, 5mm boots and 7mm gloves. Never been cold in the first hour or so. After an hour you sometimes start to feel the "chill". I always drive home in the wetsuit and change in a hot shower. Try it out sometime
Well, don't have to worry about sharks and jelly fish.
Which seasson is the best for surf in Superior Lake?
mid-October to spring. That's when the wind storms blow through.
...coldest blizzards in the winter, bring the cleanest most peaky beautiful waves to SToNeY PoiNT....
anrudo right now I believe.
Looks fun but I bet the ice cream headaches and ice cold water down the back made it questionable if worth it.
Minnesotan surf blogger, anybody?
Immediate success.
Stoney Point, is a surf spot like no place else in the world. Okay,...i'm prejudice a bit. Consider checking out SToNeY PoiNT surf spot on FB......e.
The little board doesn't work as well in fresh water.
a little more thickness help with paddling, a little more length gets you into the wave earlier too here. Fresh water is not so floaty as the salty stuff is......e..
What’s the first song called?
Yea bert.for the dream.yeeeaw.
We had some good surf last weekend, it is the start of the season here at Stoney Point. Here is an edit from last weeks surf.
czcams.com/video/Q3CXo7UkH_c/video.html
great flyer views indeed EASE drones.....e..
What's the name of the fist beach he's surfing?
It's Stony Point, but the protected Bay. It's called Boulders. It gets the wrap around storm waves, and the point acts as a wind break. It can really crank, and rarely a SW swell can hit it straight away. That only happens once every couple of years.
Primarily it's wrap around Nor'easter storm waves.
51 below!!!!
what the fuck does this even mean!?
What is the track playing, starting about 4:20?
where is it please?
....this is SToNeY PoiNT on Lake Superiors North Shore. About fifteen miles north up 'Bob Dylan' Hiway 61 from Duluth Minnesota.....Many wonderful surf spots on Lake Superior's North Shore, lots of unexplored territory yet to be surfveyed....
thanks ;)
dat sound track tho
Anyone know what song they use
Kurt vile
Adam Finkelstein thanks boss
Bob Bobbson fuck you bob
Vancouver?
western tip of Lake Superior, on the north shore.....e..
1:16 what’s the song?
Looks to crowded
I know this seems really stupid but why do people say it is hard to surf in those lakes?
Not a stupid question at all. Surfing in the fresh water is more difficult for a couple reasons. The fresh water is less 'floaty' than the salt water, so we often ride a bigger board here, to compensate for the little tougher paddling. AND,...most important, is that unlike saltwater, that can be pumped out of someone's lungs if they 'near drown, maybe six to eight to ten minutes later...and that person may survive,.....Fresh water, upon entering the lungs, immediately begins to burst blood vessels in the lungs, and drowning occurs within two minutes. The little talked about secret, of the danger in the Great Lakes, and Lake Superior surf spots.......e...
What is the song at 4 mins in this video?
how thick are their suits?
7mm
we wear 6/5 hoodies with eight mil booties, seven mill mitts....sometimes a vest or a springer over all that. This was a "warm" winter day,...just below freezing. It's the below zero days that get tougher.
5:37
Good to see burton make an appearance
There are almost better waves in this small lake than in the whole Mediterranean :'(
That new slab in Israel looks pretty mental though
