We are in the 21st century. At this point in life it seems that everything is invented, right? Especially as far as sports are concerned. No, when we believed that new activities could not arise not only appear but also the Adventure Sports They overcome themselves.

Why do we say this? Because if for some surfing it is already an adrenaline symbol, imagine what it can involve surfing in the darkness of the night!

And you will say, what else does Surf practice for the day or at night? Well, among other things, what amazes most is that at night there is no light and, without light, surf can become very difficult ... How do you know what is the perfect time to take the wave?



Night surfing

Usually the worst for a surfer is the time when the sun begins to fall and darkness forces him to leave the sea. To avoid this and give the opportunity to continue enjoying during the night of surfing, the occasional beach, such as Bakio (Basque Country) a few years ago, illuminates the beach with artificial spotlights powerful enough to know where you leave.

Now, there are other surfers who do not make up with that, but decide to go further and with a focus of light on the bow are decided to throw themselves into the sea. Think that those who dare with it have two difficulties:

  • level: a beginner cannot undergo such a challenge, because the most important thing is to perfectly control the table and the movements you have to do with it.
  • darkness: no matter howconfusion or may not even notice a wave on time.



 Mark Visser breaking the night surfing record

recently Mark Visser has overcome the world record, as he has come to beat the night surf record when he gets a wave of nothing more and nothing less than ... 11 meters high!

Of course, during the route it was assisted by a helicopter that illuminated the surface of the water from above. Where did such adventure be carried out? Where are the best waves in the world for many Riders: in Maui (Hawaii).

Well, and you, would you dare with it? If you already have you are an expert it can be a good time for you to propose a new goal and if you have not yet launched you perhaps make a Surf course is what you were looking for to give a turn to your day to day.
