Just south of South Haven off blue star. I am fabricating a beach cart tonight, pretty mandatory to have one unless you want to haul it up from the beach. i did it with one unfortunate helper on sunday. Best access to the lake i have found so far.

I have off work on Thursday and would like to go hit lake MI if anyone is around. I definitely won't ride alone in big waves.
I usually ride out of Port Sheldon or Holland.

I am going to ride a bit south of south haven. NOT port sheldon. I can ride port sheldon on thursday night...but it is way closer to me to ride down south here. Gets expensive travelling 170 miles round trip just to ride..then gas for the ski, remember i have been unemployed/self employed since nov. 06 and cash i running out. Forcast still looks good and ERic with his 650sx will be out tomorrow with me and i should bring a photo man so share with the X.

 

[tipafew]

Holland would be a little bit closer to you....I might be able to do South Haven. What time? I just have to work for a couple hours in the morning.
I might have plans in the evening, so if I were to ride I would like to do it early afternoon.

You won't get that at your local lakes unless they are 500 miles across.

We were out at port sheldon on tuesday and it was a great day for a session! I'd say 4-6' with a couple sets rolling through that were around 8' or so. I tried to get you out there with us turbo626, but I never heard back. Prob the best ride on Lake Michigan I've ever had, minus almost getting decapitated by a coucher. They're still pretty big and the current forecast is decent through Friday. Fall around here makes for such a grand finale to the season!

:splatt:

 

[Fro Diesel]

I am ready to go back out. Slept god last night. My camera died right after the video, so i didn't get to show my barrel roll attempts. I am down to ride anytime today, i would prefer my spot south of southhaven but i am open to anything. PM me and we'll set up a ride.

Right now as i sit in class, the bouy says there are 11.48ft waves in lake michigan. Nice. I wish my new motor could be installed right now. Oh well, if everything goes right, danceswithsuperjet should be out there with me. :highhorse::bananapowerslide:

Nice vid, you gotta lave the Great Lakes in the fall!!

 

[TB]

nice jeff i wish i could've been out there with ya

 

[tipafew]

Jeff,
That was a great time out there yesterday! I will need a couple days to recover......I might see who I can get together for Sunday afternoon.
The waves were great, but hopefully we can get some back flip waves out there this weekend.
