Amidst these pages are a brilliant collection of stories highlighting local makers & shakers. Within them, a very special collaborative piece, written by Ella & Annabel Skrocki that dives deep into the who and the why behind Sleeping Bear Surf.
An Excerpt:
“Mom’s deep love and connection to the water, and that which she instilled in us, has always gone hand in hand with the desire to protect our bountiful freshwater seas. “You protect what you love”, she would say. In grand part, Sleeping Bear Surf & Kayak came to life as a means of giving back to the land and the lake. It was her hope, that by introducing others to the fun & fulfillment found on the water, it would not only elevate the health & well being of our fellow humans, but to inspire protection of our big, blue playground, too!”
