And on this day in Sheboygan, the SUP instructor from Madison\\u2019s &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.rutabaga.com\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank&amp;quot;\\\"&gt;Rutabaga&lt;\\/a&gt; paddlesports mega-shop surfed the breaking waves of the Great Lakes for first time.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;\\u201cEven though the waves are small you can still catch them,\\u201d Vandervelde says. \\u201cI lived for three years in Hawaii and surfed crappier days than this. So I\\u2019m pretty excited!\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;Having grown up in Los Angeles I\\u2019ve often pooh-poohed the very idea of surfing the freshwater waves of Lake Michigan. Even with the advent and rise of standup paddling I figured there was only flat water in store for anyone angling to ride a board a thousand miles from the nearest ocean. But in Sheboygan, up the inland coast from Milwaukee, hundreds of Midwestern wave-riders gather to celebrate the sport and kick off the winter surf season opener at the Dairyland Surf Classic.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;\\u201cThere\\u2019s more than 11,000 miles of coastline along the Great Lakes, which is surrounded by eight states and one province of Canada,\\u201d says co-director Larry Williams. \\u201cThat makes up more coastline than the East Coast and the West of the U.S. combined.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;With more than 22,000 square miles of open water, Lake Michigan is a vast inland sea with currents and weather patterns that surge waves of surf to the shores of Sheboygan and other coastal towns. I jumped at the chance to put on the wetsuit (55-degree water) and paddle out past the breakers, where I and was pleasantly surprised to catch some friendly, waist-high waves.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;\\u201cLabor Day weekend is the start of our surf season that runs from September through the end of March,\\u201d Williams says. \\u201cWe surf right through the icy cold months of winter. It\\u2019s not unusual to paddle out in 30-degree water temperature, 17-degree air, with a 24-below wind-chill factor. It really thins out the crowds.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;For 22 years Williams and his twin brother Lee have invited surfers to come out and ride the waves at the Surf Classic. Several competitions are held during the event, which includes an SUP race. A potluck buffet and live music by a local band of \\u2018boarders, &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/studio.digitalamusement.com\\/Band.html\\\" target=\\\"_blank&amp;quot;\\\"&gt;The Mad Pole Cats&lt;\\/a&gt;, gives the weekend the feel of a family reunion.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;The tradition of surfing the Great Lakes goes back to the 1920s when Wisconsin native and surf pioneer Tom Blake connected with Duke Kahanamoku to promote the sport across the country. Despite smaller waves early in the season, paddlers come out to enjoy the less buoyant, salt-free water of Lake Michigan while embracing the full experience of Midwestern surf culture.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;\\u201cThe community here is quite different here and I think maybe better,\\u201d says Jonno Durrant, the Australian filmmaker of &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.youtube.com\\/watch?v=xY7rxFdiJas\\\" target=\\\"_blank&amp;quot;\\\"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Surfing 50 States&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/a&gt;. \\u201cEveryone here is so friendly and stoked whether there\\u2019re waves or not. In Australia if there weren\\u2019t waves, everyone would be out doing something else.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;Full of the aloha spirit, Wisconsin surfers blend Midwest hospitality with the strength and tenacity of northwoods lumberjacks. Adding standup paddling to mix simply expends the season to days when waves are few and far between.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;Paddling his first SUP race on the Great Lakes, Vandervelde powers his way to a first place finish with a dramatic scramble up the beach and dive for the victory post.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: left;\\\"&gt;\\u201cBefore I didn\\u2019t want summer to end. Now I say bring on the snow, bring on the wind, bring on the storms. I\\u2019m ready,\\u201d Vandervelde beams. \\u201cI don\\u2019t know about a drysuit, but I\\u2019m going to surf as long as I can. When I start pushing ice chunks out of the way I think that\\u2019s when I\\u2019ll get out of the water.\\u201d  &lt;em&gt;\\u2014 James Edward Mills&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
