Surfing Lake Huron in Winter Storm
- 1. Photographs and Text by Ryan Carter March 1, 2021 Updated 1:26 p.m. ET It’s a cold Friday morning in late January. The snow has been falling all night. With two friends, Curtis Eichenberger and Brian McElroy, I’m heading northwest from the town of Collingwood, Ontario, to the shores of Lake Huron in Bruce Country. It’s a two-hour drive, and we’re hoping the ice has taken hold of the shoreline. We park at the end of a rural road and begin the 20-minute walk to the shore. Curtis and Brian are in wetsuits and jackets, carrying their surfboards, walking down a forest path in a heavy snowstorm. I can’t help thinking that this is a quintessentially Canadian experience.
