100+ Bluffton neighbors square off in massive water fight

The video tells the tale: Filling up water guns. Hoses on full blast. Catapults launching water balloons. Golf cart drive-bys.

The footage, shot and edited by Bluffton’s Michael Rapoport, documents an hours-long water fight among well over 100 neighbors at Bluffton Park on Sunday.

“It was planned a couple weeks in advance,” Rapoport said of the four-hour showdown. “If you were wearing one of the headbands, you were free game anywhere in the neighborhood. People used balloons, guns, even power washers.”

The water hadn’t even dried before there was talk of doing it again.

“People are already clamoring for the next one,” he said.
