Spoke with Matt yesterday....
I rarely ride Daytona, But decided to head down there to ride today.
Was loaded/hitched up last night.
This morning, b4 getting fuel and heading out, I gave the trailer a "once-over". Ended up spending the entire day fighting trailer and truck lights. Troubleshooting can be tough when there are three different things wrong! Bad light socket, blown fuse and bad pigtail-plug.
Hope you had a good ride!

I always figured if you can see the taillights on the tow vehicle, trailer lights are irrelevent aren't they? :dunno:

Or is that one of those little things they really nail you for down there?

Not really sure what the law is. I've heard that if there's a light, it's gotta work. I can't imagine a true crack-down happening, every landscaper & lawn care guy in Florida would get a ticket!
I usually don't sweat it cause I only drive a few miles to the spot. I try to have things working if I'm going for a longer trip.
It needed to be done.

looks like you may have caught it good, if the wind stayed cooperative

It didn't, stayed almost straight from the north and a little cold. But swell was big and there were some fun waves to ride for sure. Set waves were pretty large in the afternoon.

Sorry you didn't make it. Tem(berky), Matt(flyinby), Ed(? On X/Tubbies inventor), and guy(forgot name) on blaster rode.
Matt was throwing some cool tweaked out 360 stab/rolls?

Got a flatwater afternoon finish and lake flush in also back in orlando with Phil Clemmons and Lucas. Tem's 1200 circus is dialed in now and a crazy handling, nasty powerful ride especially after surf. Lucas was throwing down as usual, height is crazy. Phil's 1100 badass is alot of fun too and well tuned. Wish I had more energy to ride them, big choppy surf ride killed me. Definately the ideal ride day though, 1/2 day big surf and flatwater flush and finish with flatwater session.
