Dairyland Surf Classic — Aug. 31-Sept. 2

The city that's known for making bratwurst is making waves Labor Day weekend, when 100 to 150 of the world's best surfers hang ten on Lake Michigan in the annual East Coast Surfing Association Great Lakes championships. Sheboygan natives Larry "Longboard" Williams and his twin brother, Lee, 48, have surfed around the world for over 35 years, but to them there's no place like home. "Sheboygan is the Malibu of fresh-water surfing," said Larry in a phone interview. "It has 22 different breaks in five miles." Fall and winter is the best time for Great Lakes surfing because bad weather means cool waves. "We'll jump off an iceberg to go surfing," Lee said. The brothers were filmed in action last year for "Step Into Liquid," a $2-million documentary about the global surfing scene. "The Labor Day weekend is a gathering of the tribes," said Larry. The event includes a show of vintage and new boards, displays of colorful board graphics, and, of course, bratwursts.
