Sweet "local" wave & swell sites

Post by Bill S. »

As another fall season arrives I start dreaming once again of scoring wave and swell sessions at specific sites. The following is a partial wish list--add to it as your own dreams see fit. While it often takes a steady 20+ knots from a particular direction to set things up at these sites, if do you happen to be there when one goes off you could be spoiled for life. Ride on.

THE EPIC:
NE at Tott Lot, Lake Superior, Duluth

THE CLASSIC:
NW at Father Hennepin S.P., Lake Mille Lacs

DA MN GORGE:
ESE at The Point, Lake Pepin, Lake City
W-NW at Pepin, WI, Lake Pepin

THE BLAST:
S-SW at Ackman Park, Cannon Lake, Faribault

THE RIDE:
W-NW at Lake Waconia, Waconia

THE MAGIC CARPET:
W at Lake Byllesby, Cannon Falls

THE ROAD TRIP:
S at Spirit Lake, Spirit Lake, Iowa

Mmmmmmmmmmm..... Lotsa good memories.

Never hit it but the Duluth Crew would probably want to add this one to the list:

THE OTHER ROAD TRIP:
SW-W-NW Port Wing, WI

Hope to get some rides in with you this Fall, Bill!
