Windsurfing Lake Superior in Frigid Conditions
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ธ.ค. 2015
- The frigid and snowy gales off the shore of Lake Superior are the last place you'd expect to find windsurfing... but three of the world’s best packed their bags to take on this unexplored frontier. After weeks of watching the weather forecast and waiting for the ideal storm, PWA stars Levi Siver, Philip Köster, and Brawzino went off the windsurfing grid to conquer some of the gnarliest waves the Great Lakes have to offer.

September and early October are great times to experience phenomenal sailing in the great lakes. I give these guys a lot of credit for making the effort to come to Michigan and test our waters. It would be a great honor to show them Sturgeon bay in lake Michigan on one of our epic fall SW days. The invitation stands.
Mighty awesome footage of Superior....windsurfed her north shore since 1977...now cruising alta lake WHISTLER on starboard Formula,s at 70..good times..
The No Wet Suit guy is definitely laughing at how cold they were!
the local is the real legend, shame there's no windsurf footage of him
Middle of nowhere= Marquette, Michigan. Presque Isle park.
Welcome to the conditions that most of the world's amateur windsurfers have to contend with. Most of us don't live in the tropics. Although personally I would not bother windsurfing in the winter. Anyways those guys where doing amazing moves despite the cold.

for the record, this wasn't filmed in the winter. This was in the fall. Middle bay is packed with ice in the winter.
I live in Minnesota where a good chunk of superior is and I will say this time a year to be surfing up there these guys from Hawaii were pretty strong. Even swimming in the lake in the summer the water is insanely cold.
dude without a wetsuit is hands down the best surfer.
And the real "dude without a wetsuit", who is the best surfer in the area and would be in the mix of best surfers in any area, wasn't shown in the video, because these guys rolled in here full of disrespect and pissed him off....so when they got screamed at, they made a joke out of showing this other fat guy nobody here knows talking about how he never surfs with a suit.
Well...in fact "dude without a wetsuit" surfs in a suit most of the year, because it's cold most of the year. These guys and their production handled this whole thing with no class and no decency, and left a lot of bad feelings behind.
@@SmoothJohnson Is this true or did you make this up? :/
@@stevethewindsurfer8911 If someone is being that vague then he doesn't deserve to have anyone believe what he is saying.
@@abdulkarimelnaas7595 Well it's a RedBull production and they cut everything in order to get "the most" out of it no matter if it's real or not...
@SmoothJohnson I am the fat guy without the suit. Through editing, I "surfed". Told them they should hit up the actual surfers as I am a swimmer. When wavy I hit up that area with my river board and swim out against for cardio. They took 10 minutes of footage and made a couple second clip. I remember the dude yelling from the truck and told them, that is who is surfing out here all the time, hit him up. FYI, that dude is awesome and there are tons of great photos of him covered in ice while surfing. Wish I could surf (bad back/knees), but I just swim.
Guess I should have moved around more so editing would have been more difficult to do.
Great footage! I love Lake Superior.
love Red Bull so much
No wetsuit guy is total badass
+geev3s true "yooper".
+geev3s they need to eat more and get some more natural insulation.
LoL! Fitness and lard!
true windsurfer :)
why no mention of the locals who have been surfing that (and other spots) for decades, and in much harsher conditions?
hell yeah
Because this is just a big commercial video for a drink. Nothing more.
I live in Marquette wish I knew they were here would have loved to watch them. great stuff
No Finn would do this without making sure the sauna what heated ahead of time. Arttu K.
Great point! I'll jump into an icy lake, but only after a spell in the sauna. I guess they were from California or Hawaii, so more familiar with hot tubs. But there certainly are many folks of Finnish extraction in the UP, and you can definitely find saunas up there, even a few companies that make them.
AMAZING!
More windsurfing please!
That's sick!!!
incredible!
some badass stuff there.I hang out around there all the time. to bad I missed it live
Very cool!
OH! BRAVE SOULS!! Come back in warmer weather! :)
Video says 20 Miles north of Marquette. Like Jacob B says its Presque Isle Park in Marquette. The Lodge in video is on the west side of Presque Isle Facing Partridge Island and Middle Island. Growing up in the U.P. we never swam in Lake Superior, just too cold! The large smokestacks are on Lake Shore Blvd by the Ore Loading dock.
that looks so cool
wow good flying in lake superior 😃😃
that is cool to see they ware in Marquette Michigan in the video
Sehr sympathisch! Greatings from cold Germany.
awesome
nice!
What types of Windsurfing board style did they use? Wave
, Freestyle, or Freeride?
This is why living in Michigan is the best.
Yeah, it seems awesome!
sick
I surfed conditions like that up near Sydney back in 2004
the guys were bad ass. you can't even describe the winters in Michigan's U.P. one small example. in the spring, before ice out, all along the shores there are thousands of pieces of ice from the size of a sofa to hundreds larger than a house! right next to you on shore!!! it is unfathomable until you see it in person. the folks there are rugged, and extremely friendly. here's another perspective. they don't plow the snow forward much, too deep. the plows are attached to the trucks sideways, creating high walls. say if you went into a McDonald's for instance. you won't see the restaurant until your right in front of it. the parking lot will be like a corn maze, only it's snow, piled 14 feet high easily. lot's of "yooper" mailboxes on 15 foot poles!?! for the plant people, Michigan has more/different species of wildflowers than any other place in America, including Alaska and Hawaii.
O'Neill 5mm wetsuit full mittens can easily keep fingers warm for hours at over 6 degrees Celsius. Rip Curl 7 mm wetsuit full mittens can easily keep fingers warm for hours at 4 to 5 degrees Celsius, probably lower but i haven't tested that yet. Ok it is a bit harder to grip and you might not be able to do really big jumps and loops but fine for basic windsurfing, blasting etc
les beaux jours
Windsurfing
SIC!!
love Blackrocks beer
Cold cold
Wow. Boo hoo, no Hawaii, no Fiji. The rest of us mortals do that sort of sailing for several months every year and then we get changes next to our cars in a flooded car park.
229th view love it keep it up.
What music is playing on this
I love windsurfing really.
But this is too cold for me.
Winter windsurfing is the best! Watch out for icebergs!
Those waves are definitely NOT some of the narliest waves of Lake Superior. There wasn't even snow on the ground this December. I dare them to come when there is a "normal" winter in Marquette. The waves would be 10 times bigger then, too.
Dude- Middle of nowhere?? Anyone can surf in warm water. The guy from the middle of nowhere out did you guys, hands down!
Alguien me podria decir el nombre de la cancion, Gracias :)
AWOLNATION 'woman woman'
Esta escrito en la descripcion ;)
gracias, perdon pero se me olvido buscar:$
De nada. Esta bien, no te disculpes :)
it's like Ireland in winter.
SONG : AWOLNATION - WOMAN WOMAN
One person was colder than these dudes, the photographer in the water.
Man...I'm in a drysuit when it's 60.
Marquette..... But the NorthShore is doper
Knife River. Stony point
.
French River
Even Lester can rock
This is what we have here in Ontario most of the season: cold water , freezing our asses and no wetsuits ! best of this video was the "no wetsuit surfer" , I bet our red bull stars are very happy back in Maui :)
by 3:61 is a shark
At least the risk of sun burn is minimal.
Uiii
hahahahaha I live there
Why you guys acting like locals didn't put you on? There has also been windsurfing in The Great Lakes forever.
I think it's dumb that they were introduced to cold water surfing in the middle of winter in Lake Superior. Most people in their right mind would not surf there.
I can see a local out there in a scab suit, it's all bout being useto it
