    Default tower lights/boarding at night?

    So here on my home lake the 4th is a big deal. Several on the water parties, alot of bands playing, and of course fireworks. Well sense we live back in shoals creek and know the ole marine police wont be back there i'm thinking that wakeboarding at night would be a good way to enjoy the 4th. How bright are your tower lights? I was thinking of installing 6, 2 facing forward and 4 back to cover the wake. Any ideas?

    Mine are the ones that come factory on the roswell.

    They light up enough to see what you are doing surfing, that's about it. I know alot of people that do wakeboard at night but I'm not a fan. It's kinda scary coming down without being able to judge the distance real well.

    Surfing at night is great. Wakeboarding.....Not so much. Too much timing and feel would be needed, and at the speed I don't want to rely on just that. I have been out with Jet and he loves it but I'm here to say.... He is the only one.

    Sorry Jet. Think you are the only one drinking the koolaid on this one.

I wakeboard at night (you can see FINE with 3x55=165 watts..and Its better if you turn the lights out (we go on full moon) What if I told you of the magical place where there was no traffic..and smooth water till your legs cant take it anymore paradise..THATS NIGHT TIME. Go do it!! Oh and thats not koolaid. Man Its hard to "BE THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD" Stay thirsty my friends...

    You are an idiot. I have tried it. I tried it with you twice. Both times were less than exciting. You can't tell where the wake is. You are carving in then BAMM. you are in the air. I will stick to surfing at night. You just keep on truckin with your skates and night boarding, You damn Hippie!
