They say sharks feed at night. Humans have the worst night vision of the animal kingdom. That is why Surfing at night just feels wrong I suppose.........

Surfing at Night.......it awakens a primordial urge to protect yourself. If you can't catch a swell on a full moon, then second best is to surf by the pier at night. Surfing at night will sharpen your surfing skills unquestionably.

I surfed at night when I was younger primarily so I could show off to a girl I was trying to impress. She and her friends would watch in the comfort of a dry pier as I tried to rip, slash and lacerate my way through 3-4 foot waves. Success was mine that evening........but I think the girls mostly wanted to watch me towel change in the parking lot, I seemed to always accidently drop my towel!!! (only after I had a chance to warm up my unit) They all laughed and turned their heads.......but I couldn't help showing my malevolent smile!

It was at a party next to the Huntington Beach Pier. We were all pretty blitzed and struck out with the women.....so the surf stories began to get really big. This dude we all didn't know very well was talking tough on his surfing and we called his bluff........Ever surfed at night? silence in the room........he said yah......then we said lets go then. Like the movie

His mood dropped when we all began our surfer cackle and grabbed our wetsuits and boards......We were two blocks from the pier.......it was evident he had never gone before because he was making stupid ass excuses and the blood was gone from his face. To make it worse we all wanted to get stoned before we charged out........so the bong passed around in a kind of tribal cermony.........

It amazes me the power the word "pussy" has on men of all ages.........He tried to back out of surfing with us and we all began calling him PUSSY...PUSSY as loud as we could laughing....this was his moment of truth.......So we got him a wetsuit and a stick and slapped him on the back.....lets do it!!!!! Not unlike the movie "point break" night surfing scene.............

It wasn't spectacular surf and none of us were real serious about surfing that night.......but we got a few cat calls from some babes on the pier and that was enough to make us feel like we had a successful evening.....
