Glow-in-the-dark surfer conquers Hawaiian waves
Via Deadspin comes this video of Australian big-wave surfer Mark Visser surfing Jaws beach off Maui last night.
How did Visser pull off this stunt? Pete Thomas Outdoors has the scoop: Visser, 28, used specially engineered LED lighting built into his buoyancy vest and board for a surreal session in that began at about 2 a.m. Wave face heights were about 30 feet.
Visser also had a jetski crew -- he was towed onto the waves he rode -- and helicopter crew watching over him. But as you can see in the video, he was surfing in almost total darkness.
