Welcome to the dark side of surfing

Welcome to the dark side of surfing StrongbowCiderAus

HOW do you catch a wave you can't see? That was the conundrum which faced 20 surfers who took to the surf in the

dark at Bondi this week, The Daily Telegraph reports.

 

Dressed in neon bodysuits, the surfers relied on feel more than sight to catch the 1m waves - and the lights at Icebergs at the south end of the beach at least scattered some light across the break.

 

Bondi surfer Victoria Larnach was one of the daredevils who caught a few rides - once her eyes adjusted to the dark.

 

"It was actually pretty good surf, there were some decent sets rolling in," the 26-year-old said. "You could just make out the tops of the waves but you had to rely on your instinct as they got a little bit closer. It was really fun and a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
