For most of us summer winds down this holiday weekend but not if you're a surfer. The surfing season is just starting up. The Dairyland Surf Classic is in Sheboygan, Wisconsin this weekend. It claims to be the largest freshwater surfing contest in the world.

On this side of the lake, the weather was cooperating yesterday. Waves were 4-6 feet up and down the coast. We caught Saeth Gronberg, just before he headed out at an undisclosed location north of Frankfort. He's lived and surfed in Southern California and Australia and says it's a bit trickier here to know when the conditions will be good.

Just wondering how IPR got in touch with Saeth? Maybe next time talk to some ladies... they're harder to come by but it's good for a difference in perspective :)
