iO9 - On the beaches of Southern California, a phytoplankton called
Lingulodinium polyedrum is responsible for a spate of red tide. Massive algal blooms like this make the water ruddy during the day, but disrupting the microorganisms at night results in bursts of electric blue bioluminescence.
God, surfers are so damn cool I can't even stand it, no sarcasm whatsoever. Like it's not enough to just be out there cruising the waves, completely free, now they've got glow in the dark fish/fungus hanging on their jocks, just lighting up the night for them. Of all the things I've always wanted to try but haven't gotten around to, surfing has to rank on top, I just have an irrational confidence that' I'd be a natural at it. Now I might just skip normal surfing and go right to glow in the dark surfing.
