Lake Superior Windstorm October 24th 2017 

Matthew Posa. The only guy I know that can get smacked in the face by a branch, and still keep smiling. How can you NOT love this guy?

Love our lakes💙 Born and raised in Michigan.😊

Hi my name is Mike and I'm a Posa-holic, seriously I've watched over 70 hours of your excellent videos (only subscribed about a month ago). Wanted to see the one that started it all, A+ then and A+ now. Keep doing what your doing, loving it. I live on the West shore of Lake Michigan and we never see anything like that. P.S. Give Monty and Rueger a hug from me.

THE END IS SO LEGENDARY !! allways wondered where that from your intro was shoot from :D !!!! You are the man !

Thanks for the fascinating vid. I lived in Michigan most of my life and spent every available moment camping up in the UP. Superior was always my favorite of the lakes but I have to admit I only went out on her once and she scared the hell out of me. I miss those days but now live at the bottom of the country instead of the top so all I have are the memories of that beautiful place.

I'm about 200 hundred miles northeast of Wawa, Ontario, Superior has always intrigued me, a big part of it because of the Edmund Fitzgerald and of it's rugged shoreline.

Holy Monty! Lol I didn't know a lake could do that!! Crazy and beautiful!!

Looks awesome! We live near Lake Erie and the last couple winters brought some awesome storms with amazing sights!

Beautiful place. That aside, there is a weather phenomena that creates the big waves this time of year. It has to do with the air temperature becoming equal to the water temperature. I'm not sure if there is a name for this but I studied it in college; been too long ago for me to recall the details. This event creates "The Gales of November", caused the sinking of The Edmund Fitzgerald, and is creating the beautiful sight you have captured in this video.

Wow! I hadn't viewed this video until today, that was scary impressive. I also realized when I saw the branch slap where part of your intro came from. Really cool vid!

Been there many times when I was in the Air Force. Been swimming there many times also. That's some cold-ass water even in the middle of summer!

Awesome footage my man...hard to believe that's a lake.

Beautiful! I can not wait to move back up there! Love your videos especially the winter camping ones. Thank you for sharing!

Blimey that's a lake? Looks like the sea so rough!

the power and beauty of nature.......... oh and then there's lake Superior, lol. way to go Matthew....

Am currently resting after a double shift, brain won't switch off so decided to watch some Matt Posa Adventures I haven't seen in a while. Still can't get over how wild & stunning this is💦💨💨

All that from the wind too. Wow! I think i watched a documentary on this lake and how quickly things can change. Appreciate sharing the view.

Loved the slow mo parts Mathew. You have captured those shots very well. Including the sound of Mr Grizzly Posa Bear . lol. Looked an exciting adventure as always .

Wow the raw power of LS! I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I’m loving your style! I lived in MI most of my life and moved to North Carolina 5 years ago. Thank you for posting this video it made me smile!

The fact that you still heart and reply to comments from videos years ago amazes me !!!

I love Lake Superior! It’s my home! So proud to live here.

I love crashing waves myself. Lake Superior strutting her stuff big time.

I moved to maryland 3 years ago. my wife and I got married at the same place those waves broke over the rocks! thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Holey Moley. I've never seen Lake Ontario like that my whole life. That is so mean looking. Lucky it didn't sweet you off your feet, as rock is slippery as wet wood. Yet so beautiful!!! Awesome footage. Drone footage would have been awesome to see you guys below on the rocks. You should have sent that footage into the weather men on tv.

Being from western Canada I’ve never seen Lake Superior. Thanks for the awesome video and watch out for those branches!

The North Shore , Duluth on up towards Canada is awe and adrenaline inspiring but this area is an adventure too, need to get there!

Rich I lived in Marquette for 18yrs., this was great watching!

Explaining to a southern friend how awesome Superior is especially during the winter, brought him here:) 🍻

OMG. looks like an ocean instead of a lake. So beautiful and powerful of mother nature

I love natures fury! Its beautiful! Love it! I'm still catching up on your older videos. lol

Omg astonishing mesmerizing breathtaking! u so lucky to be present in that moment; thank you for posting- I truly wish I had a pic enlarged of it somehow 🤩

LOoks like a science fiction movie with your backdrop of DYSTOPIAN SKIES

Wow, I just saw the most incredible sight I’ve ever seen. Butttttt what’s that Brian Fellows always says “Dat’s Crazy”. Thank you for being you.

So this is where the greatness began

And now I know where that clip originated. Looks like I need to view even more of your videos. I keep coming back. Thanks.

After watching today's video, I decided to take it all the wayyyy back to the VERY BEGINNING!!! I'll be hanging out with Posa & the Puppers for the rest of the day!!!

That shot at about 1:50 -- WOWOWOWOWOW Your slo mo voice was very entertaining! LOL!

OMG! That was the most beautiful and most horrifying thing all at the same time! Fantastic!

1:50 I know that wave was huge but at that moment the mysterious leaf 🍁 that fell out of nowhere right in front of the view was so neat.

Amazing.That lake looks more like the ocean.

Wow so many ships have been lost in Lake Superior. The Edmond Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. I was 28 years old on the day it happened. I live in Southern WI what a terrible day.

Thanks for recording this!! Left MQT the day before this storm and so bummed I didn't get to see this in person!!

Wow beautiful❤️❤️. Watching all your videos I can today starting from first and up❤️❤️

Just re-watching some of your older videos, this one is breathtaking, the slow motion part is so cool. That " Fresh Water Sea" has some awesome power 😳😮. This is an incredible start to an amazing RU-vid channel 😃👍❤️. You've mentioned you were born & raised in Michigan, a beautiful place with everything a person could need, the most stunning scenery with colours you don't see anywhere else & beautiful endless lakes.🐟🎏🚣🌲 🌲🏞️ Are there any other Countries or places you have visited or would like to visit one day ❓❓ Thank you for all the beautiful, interesting & funny videos, I keep sharing them to friends & recommend them to everyone I meet. Keep safe & well, love to yourself, Funk, Monty & Rueger 😘😘😘

Never seen Lake Superior before! What an amazing experience!

Found your channel in the comments of another channel. Here to see where you started and how far you have come along in your journey.

That's so scary...but beautiful at the same time.

I wonder if the CoastGuard have reconsidered the decision they made when they blew up Marquette's Fog Horn many years ago? I miss it along with the train which ran on tracks behind our house. they won't be blowing up Lake Superior, it's one sound of my childhood I can rely upon always to be there. MOTHER NATURE RULES🙆🌎🎼🐯

Fantastic Footage !! I love Nature !! You should have way more views ....Thanks For Sharing

I've been to the UP a zillion times, well maybe not that many, but lots, seen some storms, this was impressive!! I went up when the lakes froze over nearly 100%, walked a long way out, huge ice push ups all over, very cool!

Oh, I love the big lakes as much as I fear them. Lake Michigan gets big and angry like that sometimes, and people line up their cars on the roads along the shore to get a natural car wash. Lol!

Incredible footage!

Dang dude.. that’s some crazy footage!

Beautiful footage! I love that lake! The best body of water on the planet! I have sat dangling my legs on those very rocks so many times.

Nuts! I jumped off the black rocks for my first time ever Labor Day Weekend. Those waves were huge!

Nice, I’ve been watching your vids lately they are so calming and nice 🙏🙏

Beautiful footage. The Great Lakes are no joke in October.

Fantastic Footage, you gotta love a good storm. genuine LOL when the branch got you. i'd have posted that as' Pacific storm off the coast of Washington state'. see who spots the real location. i spent a bit of time near the lakes back in 1994, Niagara falls obviously, then down past lake Eirie as i recall. didn't see Superior, as we were on our way west.

I love that your channel intro has the “branch smacking in your face” clip from your very first video. I never knew.😮

Awe-inspiring footage, what an awesome God we have thx for sharing!

"Matt", if you had not labeled--and documented this--as you did, well, with the somewhat similar vegetation, I'd had been fooled that I was on the Maine coast, peering out over the Atlantic.

This whole video is amazing! Glad you captured the wrath of Gitche Gumee! 5:58 is my favorite part though, lol my mom and I rewatched that part over and over!

Gorgeous footage! Hey, guess who is going to watch all of your vids from this first one forward? It’s-a me, Mary-o!

Wow.... The Edmund Fitzgerald song started running in my head.

Wow that is THE scariest windstorm on a lake that I have ever seen. There are moments when it looks like Niagra Falls.

Great video, exuberant experience! In the slowed down part your voice oddly matched the images.

That Was Beautiful and The Ending Was A Classic

I laughed so hard when the branch hit you but also because you laughed too lol that was incredible, the slow motion at the end was magnificent, I am wondering if you are or were already in school for outdoor film and photography, you seem to have an extraordinary skill with capturing moments, even in your newer videos you have the camera set up in so many different fun ways, especially the waking up parts with Monty🙂 I love watching your videos so much, You and Monty are the BEST!!! 💗

Power of mother nature those waves bad really bad

That is really awesome it looks like the ocean

Some of that swell in the first few shots looked surfable!!

This is absolutely beautiful. I'm looking at going to college in Duluth and If the lake is as beautiful there as it is in the video that may be my tipping point.

The swells are so unpredictable. Looks like you were having a blast.

Beautiful but scary footage!! Mother nature at her finest!

Really glad I watch to the end hahaha!

I agree, great videos. I love them all

I finally found the video with the famous clip from the intro!!!!!!!

Closing in on the 4 year mark and the 24th happens to be a Posa release Sunday this year!

Weird a freshwater lake so big it has waves. I have been for a swim in a lake on Frazers island (largest sand island in the world) near Brizzy that is freshwater BUT has a BEACH and sand on the bottom (Covered with leaf matter which keeps the fresh water in). you can swim on a beach but drink the water (Very clean) weird. G'day to Monty

You guys are crazy to be that close to the suction!

Just freaking awesome!!

It's official. Im addicted and this addict needs a feed so I am starting at the very beginning and working my way through. Look out... IM GOING IN!

You right, don't mess with the Gitche Gumee ......

5:58 And a legend was born.

It’s hard to believe this isn’t an ocean!

Not for the faint of heart!! Stand back!!

Best video ever, and the ending too 😂

5:58, ah yes the origin of the branch slap in every intro

Ouch! (I watched vid to the end.) Do you live close enough to revisit this site, to compare what the view looks like under normal conditions. Very good quality production, and editing. The slow motion audio was a little eerie. :-) Ted

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the legendary beginning. Filmed with a Go Pro

beautifil footage..hey Dawn thats a lake lol

Great footage!

I literally adore you

for a second I thought that leaf was Matthew being swept from the rocks!

Mathew, what time (exactly)did you photograph this ? I was in Marquette ( my Hometown) for storm & think this must have been peak of storm

HOLY SHIT! beautiful

When we have students like this Mating Adelaide, South Australia, Matt, often you will see surfers riffs b into the shore. Visious whether.

Well I'm one of your newest of course you know this subscribers and now watching your first video that I know of that's some crazy s*** . We live in Michigan about 30 minutes from Lake Michigan I have never seen it that bad pretty bad but I don't think that bad great video great footage take care. Don

您好!大海啊大海,凶勇澎拜!感谢视颇!

Scary but amazing.
