After viewing the salmon running, we headed for the beach on Lake Michigan to see what we could see. In October, the wind is pretty stiff and Lake Michigan is all white caps crashing to shore.
We saw a couple that appeared to be flying kites, even though I thought they looked more like parachutes. As we moved closer, we could see that the man and woman were using these “parachutes” to actually surf the lake.
They were on “bogie” boards or similar to what snow boarders use with attached foot holders. The way the wind was blowing; these people really moved fast over the waves.
The water must have been cold but they seemed prepared with wet suits and other protective clothing.
It was a sight to behold…
