Surfing 1 Foot Waves In Illinois

[@Pkerr1000]

Sweet! I moved to St Louis 30+ years ago after growing up in SoCal and would go back there every year to visit family and get my once a year surf in. Great to see what you are doing!

Gotta keep the stoke alive even if we're landlocked!

[@Pkerr1000]

@@jack.stater Definitely! Do you live in that area? Or are you a Great Lakes surfer?

[@jack.stater]

@Pkerr1000 this lake is close to where I live and I'm a few hrs away from the Great Lakes. I've gotta get up to the Great Lakes more

Dude, learn the towel wrap. Soggy undies under wetsuit -- no bueno...

[@jack.stater]

Haha you mean go commando? No compression shorts?

[@sigalfamily4771]

@@jack.stater yes! Wetsuits work best by creating a thin layer of warm water that's trapped against your body. Always commando, just get one of those terrycloth ponchos to change under or learn the towel wrap technique.
