Great Lake Surfing Halloween 2019
While most folks were gearing up for trick-or-treating this Halloween a few were hunkered down preparing for snow…. and a smaller group was even more excited than kid getting free candy because when there is a snow storm in Wisconsin there are waves. I was lucky enough to have the day open to chase a few local surfers to 2 different spots. I am always grateful for any day photographing, but capturing someone truly passionate about something is one of my greatest joys. When the air is colder than the water, you’ve got to be passionate to climb in.
Lake Michigan treated everyone to a fantastic surf, and in my book that’s way better than a bag of fun sized candy. Huge shout out to Lake Effect Surf Shop for getting me set up with a wetsuit to get me as close as possible. I can’t wait for the next one…
Jake Bresette, owner of Lake Effect Surf Shop….. he is the one that invites me out and he posed for this shot as he spotted me getting soaked on the rocks.
Look familiar? Apparently when USA Olympic Speed Skater Brian Hansen is not on the ice he hits the water. Thankfully, surfing in WI is also a winter sport.
