DULUTH, Minnesota (WCCO) — In the winter, Stoney Point on Lake Superior is as scenic as it is quiet. But every once in a while, the point turns into paradise for a band of surfers.
“We talk about Minnesota, surfers in Minnesota. The coldest conditions, the warmest friends. I love it here, you know. Like no place else in the world,” said 63-year-old surfer Erik Wilkie.
When conditions are just right, Erik and his son, Garet Wilkie, drive from Danbury, Wisconsin to surf here.
