Lake Superior surfing videos

I posted some Lake Superior surfing videos on my video page here (it's also under my "Links").

Training

I've got to face the fact that if I tried to go surfing today, I would most likely drown or wash out within a few waves. My sedentary life of video editing has left my attention for detail sharp and my muscles, well, not so sharp. I've not only got to shed the pounds put on during long edit sessions fueled by Mountain Dew and Whoopers, I've got to build up some strength and develop my balance. I like the balance board, known as the Indo board, which you can use almost anywhere. I'm not planning on forking out $100 for one any time soon, not when all you need is a board and some PVC pipe.

I'm not much for weight lifting, so maybe I'll check out the swimming pool down the street. I don't want to paddle like Patrick Swayze in Point Break.
