Night Surfing

It was at the 1984 Beaurepaires Surfing Open that night surfing was introduced. Thousands turned out on the Saturday night to see the worlds best under lights. The night was a huge success except the waves were non existent. It had a surreal atmosphere. Somebody told the top riders that footballers use boot polish under their eyes to minimise glare in night games. Here Tom Curren and Martin Potter go a little overboard with the war paint.
