  Seems like they would run some type of recognition lights in addition to the underwater lighting. 
  
  I can see some drunken idiot coming around the corner in a **** boat running wide open.

  That looks like it would be a lot of fun... till you start to see some **** fish circling your board.
  

  
  

  Are underwater lights legal?  What about those blue ones?

  Must be tough drinking beer on one of those things. Maybe a seat, cooler , rod holder , and a trolling motor and I’m in.

  I've had u/w lights on my kayak for years.  I wear two head lights so I can be seen by others.  I stay on the flats behind my house so boats are not much of a problem. 
  
  Yeah, you can see a whole lot at night.  Drifting is great. Put the paddle in the holder and just sit and watch as you drift along.  
  
  Some moonless nights the sky will be clear except for the electric storm out on the Gulf Stream.  It's kinda surreal watching it all go on.

  If I can do this for more than ten seconds, am I going to live longer?
  Seriously, looks like a blast, would like to try it some time.

  Pretty neat contraption right there.
      How well do those brakes work? I guess you have to be careful about hitting that front brake too hard!

  Have a link to the lights? 12v or smaller battery?

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.

  LOL ... I tied two dive lights to a strap then  positioned them underwater and tied the ends to some eyebolts I have on top of the kayak. 
  
  Took about 5 minutes.

  I'm not getting the same giddy feeling about any of this like some of you. Seems like a bigger pain in the donkey than it's worth to me,  but hey,  knock yourselves out having fun with it.

  What gets me is I see people on their paddle boards paddling down a creek with no PFD. They fall off their board and with current ripping I wonder if they could cath up with their board.

  I had 2 friends drown on the Chattooga. Anyone not wearing a PFD are nuts.

  If someone doesn't want to wear a PFD that's OK with me.
  
  BUT when they take kids without a PFD that makes me disgusted and angry.
  
  Like the Haulover vids ... kids in the bow with out PFDs and the skipper is stuffing the waves.

  Went whitewater rafting there once. Had a blast. Fortunately I stayed in the raft although I almost fell in a few times.

  Still keeping it simple.
  That kid is 17, she sits on her pfd. 
  What are your kids doing at 1:47 on a friday night?

  S22, no flash. Nearly full moon, behind some clouds. I'm impressed by the camera too.
