Back to original question, what do people use for LED lights? On the tower? On the transom?

and I have my brigade board on order!

The tower lights are only needed when coming into dock or picking up rider. With a good set of underwater s the whole wake just glows and with some interior lights your passengers are fine.

Night surfing is not legal is Texas so every time we do it we try not to bring attention to ourselves. Therefore we just run with standard nav lights and glow sticks on the vest. Typically we also only do it when we have a full cooler that we are trying to empty, and a full moon out.

However...I've been on boats with lights on the tower; it's blinding and not helpful. I would assume the underwater lights would be most helpful.

Let me know what you think of that board! I've had my eyes on it, but I've never surfed any of their boards.

Mcivor lake, on Vancouver Island all the way up in Canada. Some of the best water in North America.

I’m actually in Texas right now and the water is nasty!

I have 2 6" Rigid Industries driving lights mounted on the outside of the tower, and two diffused 6" Rigid Industries Diffused Lights for the rear. I don't use the rear lights when surfing with the rider, but it's awesome to kick them on when the rider is down if you want light around the boat...which I like. The trick is getting your forward facing driving lights to not flood the front of the boat. Mine are mounted to my Sewlong.com bimini rack which makes a perfect place to mount the lights outside the boat. The outside location means I have very little light spilling into the bow of the boat and it's focused ahead. My last boat the tower lights lit up the whole interior of the boat which blinded the driver from seeing where I was driving.

Here is a link for the lights: http://www.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/17561. They are 6750 lumens each so they are bright.

+1 for the glowsticks on the riders vest.

Our water doesnt hardly get below 70 except for maybe jan and feb.

[biggertanks]

looking to get some LED lights to enhance late dusk surfing. I have the underwater lights on my g but it is tough to see the wave. What have people done to their boats that has worked well?

Anyone use the liquid lumens Led light bar? Or one similar?

Thanks in advance

I use liquid lumen maverick pair. Crazy bright! http://www.swellwake.com/store/p73/L..._Maverick.html

Lifeform Titans and Rigid LED bars

[Soul_surfer]

I installed 1 seablaze 3 on my last boat. loved it.
really lighten up the surf wave. Not enven need a light bar ( things with light bar is that kind of dazzle the rider)
With the front docking lights and light sticks on the life vest make night surfing kind of secure haha.

I just got back from Lake Powell with the Liquid Lumens guys and had the chance to surf with their new Top-Side Lights. Those things are awesome! It's an above water strip LED that mounts above the swim deck. We were on their G23 that had those plus their Underwater Lights on it too. By far the best night-surfing setup I've ever seen. This is one of their photos from the trip. The picture doesn't even do them justice.

Their website is a bit lacking as far as info for the Top-Side light goes, but having seen them first hand, I'll be adding a set to my boat.

The Liquid Lumens guys had one of these Brigade Circuit Boards on the trip too. I liked riding the surfboard on its own, but it was awesome for night surfing!

That looks awesome. I think that is where my head is. I assume the lights did not shine in the surfers eyes? How do they mount?
