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.
