A recent publicity exercise gave birth to an unusual new sport – neon night surfing.

While many surfers try their hand at surfing under the moonlight, this takes the idea to a whole new level.

To welcome Summer, the event took place at Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach with a dawn patrol of 17 surfers at 5.00am.

Specially designed wetsuits similar  to rashy vests featured battery packs that powered neon tubes called “Fibre Flares,” which use a  similar technology to bicycle lights.

With a bit of luck, someone may commercialise these neon wetsuits and create a brand new surfing genre.

Unusual Sports #1Extreme Kayaking, as American Tyler Bradt performs a massive a 56m drop off Palouse Falls in Eastern Washington.
Usually such feats are reserve for scenes in movies but this is for real, no trick photography or dummies being substituted for a real person, just this amazing yet extremely dangerous, maybe fatal feat.

Imagine the though processes involved in facing a near death experience, thinking positively that everything will be ok.

Well Tylers only injury was a sprained wrist, quite unbelievable given the height of the drop and the forces of the cascading water belting overhead once his kayak nose dives on impact.

So will this be the start of a potential unusual sport called extreme kayaking, will Tyler Bradt break more records with higher waterfall drops?
