Glow in the Dark Surfers Hit Bondi Beach

Just as we're wrapping up warm and settling into a chilly yet happy festive season, the Aussies have been gearing up for the Summer by donning glow in the dark wetsuits and hitting the waves on glowing surf boards in an outstanding surf display to welcome the Summer. The eye catching display which took place at famous Bondi Beach was arranged by drinks company Strongbow to welcome the Summer and saw seventeen super fit athletes take to the waves for the largest ever glow in the dark surf attempt. The spectacular stunt somewhat resembled Disney's Tron on the water as each surfer wore a luminous wetsuit decked out in what appears to be EL Glow Wire to achieve a funky, futuristic effect. The boards themselves also appear to feature the luminescent wire which glows brightly to create amazing special effects.
The whole fantastic event was caught on camera by surfing film makers and photographers Jack McCoy, Bali Strickland and Eugene Tan as part of Strongbow's "Welcome the Summer" campaign; McCoy said of the stunt "I've never filmed anything like this in my 30 year career... we had this great opportunity to mark the summer in such an amazing, unique way. The surfers were so pumped about getting out there that the energy was electric. It's one of those sights you have to see to believe..."
We agree with McCoy, the surfers look incredible in their funky glowing get up and put on an incredible display!
