After Hours at Seaside
Spotlights, jet skis, and live music hit North County for Nike's nightsurfing event
Last night Nike submerged a few waterproof lights, setup a smoke machine, brought in the San Diego-based band Wavves to play a live set, and invited anyone in the area to share an after-dark session with a handful of their team riders. The results: surreal but entertaining. Here’re a few shots from the evening.
