Surfer Mark Visser surfing at night while wearing a vest covered in LEDs. "Riding in complete darkness meant I had to go off feeling," says Visser. "I had to zone out from how you normally ride and just be a part of the wave. I am so pumped to achieve something that no one thought possible and that I was told couldn't be done." Watch a a video of his ride.

Re:

Insane! Jaws would be difficult during the day, much less at night. Hats off!

Surfing at night is fun, BTW!

Re: Riding Jaws at Night

giant waves at night, I'm deathly afraid of the ocean or should I say being IN the ocean, especially at night, sharks and stuff.. which sucks because I'd love to learn how to surf.. definitely a fear I need to conquer at some point

impressive? hell YES

It starts with the fact that a wave of that size has never been surfed at night, and for good reason. Those waves can kill you during the day. Surfing a wave at night is a really strange feeling... There's a great deal of force pushing you forward that you simply cannot see. I really couldn't fathom that feeling x 100 on a wave of this size.
