(i didnt even think of that additional "trill" of slow trolling yourself with nightsticks during the landlord's prime feeding time)
but i'm sure night riding is fun,,

Ohh that little old thing was only 500lbs.

Couple years ago during the Texas City shark fishing tournement week they caught the “big one” on day 2 a 960 lb Mako shark!
3+ Nights later they caught the 1,120lb Hammer Head FTW!

Done it and its a new dimension in a pitch black.

No Moon, just the lights from hotels in Sanur, Bali. 4 kites in the air.

Because no preps, easy to loose the board. Would put some standard marine green red white lights on kite and board next time. If ever

We put lights on boards, kite and harness, also because it looks super awesome.

I night surf regularly. Mostly because no crowds and no wind which is great for surfing.

Kiting? There's no wind at night unless there's a storm, no?

No, that depends on what drives the wind.

Exactly, this really depends on location. Around here, the sea breezes start early afternoon and keep on going till late at night, at least 11pm. There's also a tidal body of water, up to chest deep everywhere, with some street lights nearby, so it's totally safe to ride late. Colder temperatures and social commitments are the only obstacles to night riding.
