The south end of Lake Michigan—Hammond, Indiana to be exact—thaws out just long enough for a local crew to score a fun and super glassy surf. These guys are some of the world’s most hardcore and surf stoked dudes ever! Thanks to Mike Killion from Great Lakes Surfer Magazine for the photos! Make sure to check out the trailer to the freshwater surf themed surf movie, Fresh, below…

Wow, this is either stoke or serious media whoredom, especially the guy with all the ice on his face. That’s hideous. I guess it’s whatever side you’re on. Whateva, different strokes for different folks.

Wow, this is either stoke or serious media whoredom, especially the guy with all the ice on his face not to mention the like one second ride on an ankle biter wave…..? That’s hideous. I guess it’s whatever side you’re on. Whateva, different strokes for different folks.

wow, these dudes are crazy for being in that water. I give ‘em mad props though. When it gets below 75 degrees people here hunker down and put on sweaters and hoodies

Sick. Just sick. There’s about no one that can touch the stoke level that these guys have to surf in 33 degree water.

Those shots are in Whiting, not Hammond. There have been a few good rides there, but not many. Desperation leads to adventures.

oops, i spoke to early Most of the shots are in Hammond. The waves are best in the winter. The guys that go out are extremely hardcore.
Killer photos!
