Surfing the bioluminescence. 🏄‍♂️🌊✨

Last night, members of the UC San Diego Surf Team and Surf Club caught a few waves at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. These glowing blue waves are due to an offshore red tide. When algae in the water is stirred up, a chemical reaction occurs, producing light.
