Red Tide Surfing San Diego 2011 Bioluminescent

[surfhempster]

Even though it's stinky, it is so much fun night surfing in the red tide!

Beautiful clip, thanks.

@cbonnevie10 seems like you stumble

[cbonnevie10]

According to marine biologist Jorge Ribas, the glowing is caused by a massive red tide, or algae bloom, of bioluminescent phytoplankton called Lingulodinium polyedrum. The microorganisms emit light in response to stress, such as when a wave crashes into the shore, a surfboard slashes through the surf, or a kayaker's paddle splashes the water. The result is a wickedly cool glowing ocean.

[afirocks100]

why does that happen?

[4LeafCoyote]

I hate to be that guy, but isn't it really dangerous to swim at red tide?

[sinfulsere]

very toxic, but very beautiful

[diggles28]

Music ruined it

[ENTERtheCREATOR]

Looks kinda like some kind of EMP pulse from the movies

[rdbrewer4]

Something that beautiful doesn't need a heavy music track. Distracting.

[florevsnowhite]

Rainbow puke *-*

[TieOneOnFishingProd]

Is this the same red tide hitting over here in Texas? I'm in rockport TX right now just got here so id like to know pm me

[rv2beach]

Beautiful!  Made me cry good tears <3

[RossSummerhayes]

[srikanthsalesforce]

What the name of the Song in the Background? Its lovely!

[LoghanCall]

@srikanthsalesforce Midnight in the City, by the Ruse and at the end its "A Toast to the End" by Winter Quarters.

[AquaBlue070]

Although he's basically surfing in an enormous cess-pool of bacteria, it sure looks cool-as-hell at night though!

[GarethWonfor]

Awesome bio-luminescence on this...

[TheElvissimo]

the waves remind me of the blue fire from dark knight

[523Lobefinger]

OMFG! this video is amazing :'D what's the name of the song??

[LoghanCall]

@523Lobefinger "Midnight in the City" By The Ruse, they have four albums out and all worth checking out I might add! Thanks!

[LoghanCall]

@523Lobefinger "Midnight in the City" by The Ruse. And "A Toast to the End" by Winter Quarters.

[TheCaferocker]

@Xxitry2flyxX I'm not to sure but its going on right now I went surfing here yesterday till 9:30pm at night it was the first time I've made it out during red tide it was awesome me and my buddy did'nt want to leave the water.

[Xxitry2flyxX]

@TheCaferocker omg ur so luckyyyyy i want to try too i know i get scared of dark water but i wanna try :D

[TheCaferocker]

@Xxitry2flyxX I've been a spearfisher for almost 10 years now so being in the water a night dont bother me anymore:)

[Xxitry2flyxX]

@TheCaferocker oooo wow that's awesome life's good aint that right

[cliolic]

I have seen the same thing about 40 years ago at the Belgian coast, i have never seen it again since. Quite spectacular

[cliolic]

I have seen the same thing about 40 years ago at the Belgian coast, i've neber seen it again since. Quite spectacular

[SatelliteExile]

Wow, the tunes on this track kick ass. Wish I could drive down to see the waves in person.

[Sebastiancounts]

@LoghanCall sounds fun, i was shooting out there last friday experimenting with the low light, i got some good extended exposure shots of the coastline, and some decent ghosting shots with a 6 second exposure, do you usually do video/ or do you do photography to?

[LoghanCall]

@Sebastiancounts mainly video. I love photography as well, but I have invested my money into professional video equipment, so once I have my dream set up in film, I'll invest some money to start grabbing some cool stills!

[Sebastiancounts]

@LoghanCall sounds good man, anyways im diggin your style, keep up the good work

[Sebastiancounts]

aw man! this is moonlight beach! what kind of camera were you shooting with, i was out there the other night with my 7d

[LoghanCall]

@Sebastiancounts opening shot was Moonlight, the rest was at Ponto and Oceanside Pier.

I shot this on my Sony Ex3 with a Fuji lens. It took a decent amount of time and a few nights out there to figure out the right settings etc.

[Shimquist]

the opening shot is totally moonlight beach in encinitas.

[squarechannel]

Awesome Vid! my buddy from O-side will love it!! Im sending it RIGHT NOW! kool production too!

[Goldowolf]

Beautiful!

[JenniferChapman1413]

Beautiful footage /editing. Music fits well. Very impressive! Who was that surfer?

[1naruto59]

i just found another thing to put on my bucket list.

[yobluesmama]

Great video! Last night after watching it took the family to Oceanside Pier. We were lucky enough to see a seal swimming near the end of the Pier - lit up by the biolumenscence - as were the fish swimming away from it....I'm never going to forget that. Thank you for inspiring us to go out and see this phenom.

[TheBelieber41]

my english teacher showed us this

[ritadet4]

Awesome video. We went to the beach to see it last Friday, and it didn't seem to be happening. We were there right after sundown. What time of evening did you take the videos?

On another note, in the credits section "performed" is misspelled. It should be "performed" not "preformed". Although maybe the music was also "pre-formed"; who knows?!

[Aaroncroy252016]

ive surfed in the dark before.. I will never do it again.

[whitesharck71]

E' una cosa che ho visto già quando ero ragazzino... ora con l'inquinamento marino è sempre più difficile osservare questo fenomeno così affascinante!!!

[LoghanCall]

Headed to the Oceanside Pier tonight at 6pm to shoot more footage! If you'd like to join in, feel free! Search "Red Tide SURFING Video Shoot" on Facebook for our public invite if interested! Cheers!!!

[MrGibbs31]

@LoghanCall Great edit!

[StructuralDefect]

Radiation?

[3DInteractiveGun]

@StructuralDefect

Not radiation. Just bioluminescence but it looks a lot like Cherenkov radiation

watch?v=mgNwtepP-6M

[pinklotusflower8]

Love your video, totally awesome!! I seen it out there tonight and the experience is totally phenomenon!! So glad I had the chance to see it for myself and with my family!! Om Shanti~

[fifty1thirty]

@LoghanCall it wasn't your footage, they mentioned it though. It was CNN mobile app for iPhone and it was / is one of the videos on the red tide currently up. They didn't use your footage or name, they just mentioned the surfer and that it was up on YouTube or google.

[fifty1thirty]

Just watched a red tide clip on CNN and had to check out more on YouTube. This video is solid, the surfer lit by the glow of the algae is great! Nice video

[LoghanCall]

@fifty1thirty Thanks! Curious, I knew CNN would be using the footage I gave them, what show was it on? Thanks in advance...cheers!

[1Tear4u]

Awesome video.

TFS!

[permagrin4life]

Great video my friend just shared with me! I love it! Excellent production! :)

Music's not my cup of tea though. I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna put together a friendly competition with my edm/dub friends & see what they can come up with. :)

I'll be sure to post it... find me on fb--> .com/hans.world.travels

[LoghanCall]

@permagrin4life please send me a direct message with your intentions on the video.

I just need to know what my footage will be used for, open to most requests, but like to know prior to something happening. Cheers!

[crf50]

i saw this last year in ventura county, so beautiful, went skimboarding many times during it. so cool to see your trail lighting up!

[twistedskitty]

Absolutely Fantastic - GREAT footage, sound, editing! Remember - when the tide is read if you eat the shellfish you could be dead. Toxic plankton may be numerous enough to toxify shellfish, but not sufficiently abundant to discolor water. Shellfish, including hard-shell clams, soft-shell clams, oysters, mussels and scallops, are particularly prone to contamination as they feed by filtering microscopic food out of the water. Alexandrium catenella, Pacific west Coast is your usual culprit .

[TheTomEGunn]

Oh man, I knew I shouldnt have ate those mushrooms at dinner...

[newsuperdavidbros]

Where can I get a copy of the song "A Toast To The End" ?

[LoghanCall]

@newsuperdavidbros

You can check them out on iTunes, by searching "Winter Quarters" the song name or the name of the album which is "Stories and Lies".

Cheers!

[MrTexaszx2]

wow that is nice, but isnt red tide said to cause irritation of the eyes? if so im surprised the surfers go out.

[LoghanCall]

@MrTexaszx2 I was out there myself and didn't feel any side effects :)

[10mintwo]

just fyi, this person is ripping off your content:

stball777

[LoghanCall]

@10mintwo Much appreciated, sent him a message. Unfortunately its been happening a lot.

Thanks for the heads up!

Cheers!!

[10mintwo]

@LoghanCall Honestly, I wouldn't even bother. That's more often than not a waste of time. Much faster and easier to simply file a report at /copyright_complaint_form

[epiciron777]

Dang! Midnight beach now has a whole new meaning!! It happens to be the closet one to my house. Can't wait to return from vacation in Colorado and check it out. Great job on everything.

[epiciron777]

@epiciron777 Duh, (((((Moonlight Beach))))) not Midnight Beach. Thin air got to me.

[FatimaTruthseeker]

Totally tubular gnarly mondo diatomaceous phytoplankton surf tonight bro! I grew up here in San Diego and have never seen this until this past week. The news said its rare to be able to see it because it usually happens during a bright moon, but there's a new moon right now and so its really dark.

[monkeyman853]

thats insane i cant wait to move out to cali

[steven10104]

this is crazy i cant believe such beauty is natural! gotta go see this some time!

[donorsonar]

very cool I'll have to go see it myself though I do not surf

[machak09]

Wow that's great but why is it called "red tide" if it's blue lol

[MrBlubolt]

Totally gorgeous! Disney has a long way to go to even come close to nature!

[iPersiaa]

Red tide is a common name for a large concentration of aquatic microorganisms, an event in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column and results in discoloration of the surface water. Just so people don't think "its radiation".

[roadlesstrvled]

I grew up down in SD and all I knew about the evening ocean was GRUNION. Now there's something else to look for at night.

This video really is well done ... curious what type of camera you used and if it enhanced the luminescent effect a bit, or if this is a "naked eye" perspective. Either way, it's great.

[LoghanCall]

@roadlesstrvled Thanks I appreciate the compliments.

This was shot on a Sony Ex3 with a nice lens on it (not the stock one).

Only post work that was done was to get rid of some of the static from having to use the gain, the color remains true, it was just that crazy of a color!

[dave1745]

Coo vid. Was just in so cal last wk & of course nothing like this happened... Thanks for sharing

[bicyclexx7]

fukushima

[pestolence]

@bicyclexx7 totally fukushima, u hit that on the head!



[kotyayv]

Check out 1:13 for sweet surfing moves!

[ChrisFreedoms]

majestic 

[RIangelgal]

Awesome video..Best one I've seen!! I wish I was closer, I'd be out there...

[ScrewFrance32]

Great video, how long do you think this phenomenon will last for? Through the weekend? I wanna take the lady out to view this.

[LoghanCall]

@ScrewFrance32 I heard it hasn't been as "electric" the last couple of nights. Its all about the right conditions and can literally be here one night and gone the next. My recommendation is to go out around 9pm, at a place where its dark and hopefully it will still be around.

[Lovee816Xo]

So cool! I live in SD, I'll have to check it out in person :)

[nighttrain334]

thats cool! electro surf board man!!!

[Twinkles36]

wow I pray these are not Blue Wave's of Death coming from the Radiation form Japan after the 5 nuke Reactors That exploded this this year That all the media is keeping people in the dark about, because of the Michael Jackson death cover up that is being Spammed on the local News to Keep you all bumbled down to what is really going on from the Truth.

[LoghanCall]

@Twinkles36 it happens frequently on the coast if the conditions are right and was not caused by the radiation. This isn't a one time occurrence, and on the west coast is isn't dangerous.

[djbeanhead67]

Love this!!! Thank you!
