First ride of the year

Oh. My. God.

What a way to start off the year…

Heather Goodliffe has been hard at work, designing new waves for us to surf… You can give them a try at the Quan Li beach. You’ll need to join the “Endless Summer Surfers” group (if you are not already a member) so that you can use the new surfboards.

These massive waves… (what double-overhead? triple-overhead?) have some real power. The first couple of times, I bailed and heh heh this is what I saw:

About to be spit out the end of the tube

And yes… getting barrelled in Second Life adds a layer of difficulty to your surf session… but these guys make it look easy…
