Big storm blowing into California tomorrow and some feet of snow expected in the Sierras! Yahoo!

Surfing on Lake Tahoe! I had no idea there was a "surf season" up there.

It’s a new one on me, but I think it’s very cool.

“Surfing on Lake Tahoe! I had no idea there was a “surf season” up there.”

That lake is extremely cold, even in the summer, and has a rapid fall-off in depth close to shore (the lake is ~1645 feet deep). The guy in the picture is wearing a wet-suit, but anyone who tries this without one is flirting with disaster. I almost drowned in that lake on a warm spring day, as the cold water induced bronchospasm. Just sayin...

Lake Tahoe is SO beautiful! I’ve only been there once, but I’ll never forget it. :)

People surf on The Great Lakes 6-7 months out of the year. Now THAT is some hardcore surfing!

Bailing over that rocky bottom at the end of your ride looks like it could be bruising!

There isn't, that's a natural fall occurrence that takes place on Lake Michigan too..........It's a slow news day.
