Surf's up -- on Lake Superior! In February!


Greg Isaacson once listened throughout winter nights for the sound of the surf -- "Like shotgun blasts" -- reaching Oahu's famous North Shore.

He is 30 years and 4,000 miles removed from the Hawaiian Islands. But when the weather is just right, when a northeasterly gale roars overnight toward a different North Shore and rattles the timbers of his house on Duluth's Skyline Parkway, he feels it. Come morning, he peers from his deck through binoculars down the city's hillsides and measures Lake Superior pouring onto Park Point.
