On August 18th, Pere Marquette Park, in Muskegon will be host to the first Great Lakes Surf Festival.

Yes, you read that right, Michigan will host a Surf Festival!

Joe Bidawid, a former professional windsurfer has put this event together and is calling out for more than just suffers to come out! Bidawid, hopes that the event will attract stand-up paddleboards, kiteboarders, kayakers, and windsurfers.

Mlive.com reported that Bidawid talked about the event...

"The event is intended to provide a fun and activity-filled day for riders of all disciplines, but will also welcome any people that are currently not involved with any of these sports but aspire to learn."

The day-long event will include...

• Workshops
• Free Lessons
• Product Demos
• Stand Up Paddleboard Races
• Kayak Races
• Paddleboard Yoga

To ensure great waves for surfing a wave generator will be on-site for the event. If that were not enough there will be vendor booths, raffles and a great day at the beach!

In fact, Joe Bidawid said...

"Imagine a late summer day on an amazing beach, doing what you love and surrounded by so many people from all over the Great Lakes who share the same passion - that is our goal."

So mark your calendar for a great day at the beach!
