Mark Visser packed up his board called in a few choppers and dropped in on Jaws, the world famous big wave surfing location off the coast of Maui, in the middle of the night no less. The video is absolutely mind blowing to think that a 40-foot wave is right behind him and hes essentially riding blind down this aquatic cliff face. Mark was wearing a buoyancy vest and employed a modified surfboard with LED lighting. Still, even with the two helicopters, that’s some seriously dangerous sh*t- and I approve!

Apparently the lighting technologies were created for by Solus Corporation using NASA submarine lighting technology to ensure the wave and board were lit in the right places at the right time to illuminate the scene, but not blind Mark in the process.
