Surfing Nights Under The Northern Lights

Forget surfing with bright blue skies and the sun beating down, Mick Fanning has taken his board to a far more magical place.

Australian surfer Fanning ventured to the Arctic Circle, diving into freezing water as opposed to the balmy waves he’s more accustomed to. While the moves Fanning pulled off in the water are a spectacle themselves, Norway’s Northern Lights, dazzling above in the night sky, were always going to take center stage.

The images were captured in Lofoten, Norway, on camera by Mats Andreassen Grimsæth and Emil Kjos Sollie, and their results are spectacular.

Luke was born and raised in various parts of south London, before studying Politics and Social Psychology at Loughborough University. His time in the midlands was limited to his study and upon his return to the capital (via the obligatory travelling in between), wrote for a number of different local and national publications, before moving into the editorial side of things. Aside from the obvious interest in sport, he loves food, travel, reading and film, but if any can somehow incorporate sport in the process, then all the better.
