Light up the water with these Pukas Surfboards. The Spanish surf company created the perfect board for surfers to take out for some nighttime riding. Using waterproof LED lights, the company created the boards for surfers to have more visibility in the dark, but also to provide further personalization of boards.
So far, there have only been four of these bright boards to hit the waves. With two of the boards going to French surfer Joan Duru and Portuguese surfer Tiago Pires -- who are seen having the ride of their lives in the Pukas' video -- they also boast an element of exclusivity. Hopefully these wild rides will be available for every adventurous surfer soon.
