Interesting. 3 years ago I had my credit card stolen and a bunch of purchases made to a non-existent surf shop in Normal, IL.

I went to college at Illinois State University, which is in Normal, IL. The thought of there being a surf shop in a town that's in a middle of a cornfield with no water nearby just cracks me up.
What about Lake Bloomington? Miller Park "lake"? I suppose you could sit on a surfboard in knee-deep dirty water until you got bored.
Clinton Lake a bit south of there has decent windsurfing and kitesurfing in the spring and fall.
I did have fun looking around Normal on Street View imagining locations of the surf shop
He is on the evil radar.. :(
