Surf Stories and Photos
|
In 1987 at a surf contest in Grand Haven, Michigan, Oscar Wolfbrandt (Director of the Eastern Surfing Association) asked us to host a contest on our side (West Coast) of Lake Michigan. We said "sure - we'll have one next year on Labor Day weekend". Oscar asked why Labor Day weekend, and we told him that it was the end of the summer and the beginning of our surf season (Fall). This was pre-internet so everything was word of mouth or through Surfing organizations newsletters. Little did we realize what the "D-Land" would become! Corona's Dairyland Surf Classic has become the largest gathering of freshwater surfers in the world. The main focus has always been the gathering of surfers from all the Great Lakes to share stories, photos and celebrate the passion we all share and love. Most of us have surfed many breaks around the world but this, the great lakes, is what we call home. By Lee "Waterflea" Williams |
