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

The 26 year old from Maroubra in Sydney waited about six hours in order to get this incredible 15 second ride. ?It had been really slow all day and I hadn?t had any good ones,? said Mark.
Then this mountain came roaring out from the horizon I got goose bumps all over as soon as I saw it. I looked up at Hippo (Ryan Hipwood) who was on the jet ski and he didn?t even smile he just said ?this thing is huge.?
?There was so much water sucking off the reef. I just kept my eyes right in front of me and hoped the corner of the barrel wasn?t about to lip me in the head.?
Trying to describe the sensation, Mark said: ?Big barrels like that feel like they are alive. They suck all the air inside. That?s what surfers mean when they say they felt the wave take a breath.? ?You feel like you?re surrounded by the whole ocean. The air has nowhere left to go and just gets spat out into the channel, taking you with it. This is the feeling that keeps coming back over and over and over again.?
?This one can be topped,? said Mark. ?It?s the thrill of the chase that keeps me going.?
Un documentar foarte fain de aproape o ora in care surferi curajosi, si poate putin cazuti in cap, ignora interdictia impusa de autoritati din cauza unei furtuni puternice ce se apropia dinspre Japonia – si intra in apa in “North Shore Oahu – Hawaii”

Este vorba de un film documentar despre surf. Cand a aparut pentru prima data, cum s-a transformat intr-un mod de viata, care au fost primele “figuri” care i-au dat notorietate. In bucata de mai jos il vedeti pe Laird Hamilton, unul din pionierii de “big wave surfing” modern. Absolut incredibil! Va recomand din tot sufletul sa il vedeti cap coada. Enjoy.
