After speaking with Magilla, I thought I'd stop by this forum and give a big "hey now" to our fresh water brethren to the east.
My name is Ryan, I'm 27, and I've been sliding lake waves on southern Lake Michigan for about seven years. I have also recently opened a shop in New Buffalo, Michigan dedicated exclusively to Great Lakes surfing.
I'd be stoked and honored to help any of you guys out with equipment and accessories. The Shop is small and young, but growing quickly. Lake surfing has been a blessing in my life, and I am hoping to give something back.
When you get a chance, check out our website at www.ThirdCoastSurfShop.com. The product catalog will be available soon.
I've also been shaping custom, hand-crafted surfboards for Great Lakes surfers for five years or so. You can find some info on my work at www.ShapesbyRyan.com.
Almost every day somebody is looking for something or other surf related.
It serves the Great Lakes surfing community to have easy access to all lake surf shops in both the U.S. and Canada. I support fellow, Great Lakes surfers like Ryan Gerard. New Buffalo is a very cool place to visit and the surfers there are very friendly and stoked. It's a small town with the Third Coast Surf Shop and the beach is in walking distance down the hill. You can park at the beach. Ryan we wish you longevity and success in this business.
Other surf shops in our community are welcome to post here too.
We encourage everyone to do business in the Classifieds part of this forum where buying and selling of surf everything is encouraged and supported.
I am posting the Third Coast Surf Shop web site for brother Ryan Gerard over on the Classified page of this forum.
