Sleeping Bear Dune Rides: Remembering the Dunesmobiles

Surfing, Leelanau Style, photo by Andy McFarlane

Today on Absolute Michigan we have a feature titled Michigan: Great Lakes Surfing Capital that I am pretty sure is the definitive collection of Great Lakes surfing videos that includes clips from Unsalted, the great movie about Great Lakes surfing.
