Surfing a 30-Foot Wave, At Night
Last night, big-wave surfer Mark Visser gathered up a helicopter, a jet ski, a buoyancy vest tricked out with LED lights, and a surfboard laced with submarine lighting built for NASA, and took off for Jaws. At 2:00 am local time, he caught a 30-footer off Maui for a one of a kind ride.
"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 video of his ride below.

Only 30-feet? Pansy!

Flag ThisWhat a wonder of human endeavor! (To be read as though dripping with sarcasm.) He put a light on his head and board, rode a big wave in the dark––if you can really call it that, since there is a huge spotlight on that choppa––for a little bit. Lame.

True Religion Jeans is proud to have hosted the event and provided the opportunity for all attendees and exhibitors to participate at no expense.

Special thank you to cheap jordans for all of their efforts to ensure that the event was a tremendous success.
Flag ThisIt's known that money can make people independent. But how to act when somebody doesn't have cash? The only one way is to try to get the loans and credit loan.
