Night surfing at places like Insight Resort requires very specific gear. The floodlights are bright for the human eye but dim for a sensor. You need a fast prime lens (at least f/2.8, preferably f/1.8 like a 135mm). Push your ISO high (3200-6400) and accept the grain to keep your shutter speed above 1/500s. Panning with the surfer as they ride the wave will also help keep them sharp while blurring the dark background.

Use a sturdy tripod and a gimbal head to track them smoothly. Handholding a heavy 70-200mm lens in the dark will result in unusable shots.
