Malibu of the Midwest?  Wow! I thought I was in Hawaii this weekend....and then someone reminded me by asking:  So how do you Sheboygan? Even though the official Sheboygan surf season runs through fall and spring, winds can kick into a whirling splendor any time. During the summer, novice surfers will enjoy warmer water temperatures piquing from late July through early September. Calmer waves at North Pier near Deland Park offer a serene paddle board experience or a fun-filled day of honing those balancing skills. (Remember, you will be less buoyant on the fresh waters of Lake Michigan.) Beginners are encouraged to start their surfing experience in the Aloha spirit with a community gathering of surfers from all skill levels at the Dairyland Surf Classic. Test the waters or stay on shore, observe and gain some insight from other freshwater surfers at this annual Labor Day event.  And the best news yet, everyone is welcome to attend the Dairyland Surf Classic presented by PACIFICO, which has become the largest gathering of freshwater surfers in the world. In the true meaning of the Aloha spirit, it’s a gathering of community to celebrate "freshwater surfing".  It’s a great place to meet new friends and check out the surf scene. You can watch the competition from the beach for free, or you can join the competition for a nominal registration fee. Either way, all are welcome to the annual Aloha Awards Banquet at Deland Park, downtown Sheboygan! It’s a classic evening under the stars with pot-luck dinner, live music and camaraderie. Open to the public, the only admission is bringing a dish to pass or something to grill!
