Yesterday (August 18,2011) I tried night surfing for the first time in my life. It was not planned, it was not expected, it just happened when we stayed in the water after the sunset. The sky was cloudy, but bright lights from MTV house, that hosts 'Real World' reality show, provided some sort of visibility. It didn't really help, actually, as I often wasn't able to see a wave approaching me until it was too late. Seriously, I felt I had to do it like Luke Skywalker - close your eyes and follow your feelings.
6 Reasons to Love Night Surfing:
1. No Crowds — that's probably a most obvious one. Surfing scene in San Diego might be competitive even on the smaller days. But most likely, eventually you will be left alone with the ocean once the sun is down. So you can have all the waves to yourself!

2. Glassy waves — the wind usually dies down at night, so you can enjoy clean glassy waves.
3. No need to apply sunblock! Moon and stars won't do harm to your skin.
4. Privacy — whatever you do in the dark ocean will be a well-kept secret (like making dolphin sounds)
5. Improve your surfing — since you really rely on your senses you get better at reading (feeling) waves, and also become quicker at turning around to catch them.
6. Thrill and surreal experience! The thought of not knowing exactly what's going on in the dark ocean will get your adrenaline pumping. It is also kind of a spiritual thing.

Алоэ!*
Homo Surfiens? Could be you, if you like to surf or simply like to watch others surf. I'm a girl who started surfing when I lived in China, and eventually moved to California. Here's a little more info about me. This blog is about my surfing journey in China, Russia and California.
Homo Surfiens? Это ты, если тебе нравится кататься... или смотреть, как катаются другие. Я начала серфить, когда жила в Китае, и в итоге переехала в Калифорнию. Подробнее обо мне можно почитать тут. Это блог о моем путешествии в серфинге и жизни в Китае, России и Калифорнии.
* — что-то вроде "привет".
