The night rider: Daredevil surfer who lights up monster waves in pitch darkness

This certainly takes a bit of guts!!

It's perhaps not surprising that surfers have a reputation for daring that borders on madness - always pushing themselves and the boundaries of their sport in search of the biggest wave, the most thrilling run.
But big-wave rider Mark Visser has now taken the sport into new territory after he took on 30ft monster waves off Maui - in pitch darkness.

Very cool to watch, thanks for sharing!

Rad video. I've been surfing at night before, but the waves were 4-10 feet face side haha. So props to Visser. 30 ft. waves.. that would be great to see in person.

The surf break, a deep water reef break, is called "Jaws" due to the size and ferocity of the waves. The waves at "Jaws" can reach heights of 120 ft (36.6 m) on the face of the wave, moving as fast as 30 mph (48.3 km/h) Wiki
