The surf technology innovators at Wavegarden, the team that recently brought surfing to landlocked Austin, Texas, have raised the stakes once again: custom-lit indoor night surfing. The result is akin to LED-covered surfboards, but with the twist of a controlled setting. “I’ve surfed at night before but this is something completely different,” French surf maven Vincent Duvignac told Wavegarden. "When you surf now seems irrelevant: Natxo [Gonzalez] and I surfed until 2 AM and could have kept going except we became completely surfed out."The underwater lights are placed strategically in the pool to illuminate the waves in such a way that surfers can see the wave approaching and gain a better sense of the wave’s texture and scale. Not to mention, the lights make the space look like an underwater fairytale.Watch Wavegarden’s facility come to life in the video below:2015 Video Test Series - Nº1 Night Surfing at WavegardenfromwavegardenonVimeo.Click here to learn more about Wavegarden.Related:Watch This: Glow-in-the-Dark Night SurfingStrapping A Camera To A Drone Results In The Most Insane Surf VideoTime-Condensed Surf Video Captures An Entire Swell All At Once
