Surf Spot review done by Namiko’s own Maxwell Eclipse

I’m a relative newcomer to Quan Li, only finding out about it when Keala showed it to me. Nonetheless, it’s now my second most frequented beach, and I find more and more about it that I like with each visit.

When I first landed on Quan Li, I was a bit intimidated. It’s alot bigger than Amore, and Amore at the time was the only beach I had ever been to. Nonetheless, I had to ride those waves. They were calling to me, and Max Eclipse was ready to answer. One of my favorite things about Quan Li right from the start is the free boards lying around. That meant that the poorest people could still ride in style. It also meant a test drive for Sebastian’s boards (which are amazing, by the way).

Speaking of Sebastian Saramago’s boards, Quan Li is where you can find them. You can get them custom done (which I intend to, eventually) or buy some of his pre-made ones (which are gorgeous). I ride with one of his boards, you should too.

Surfboards aren’t the only cool thing Sebastian has for Quan Li, either. I found a fishing rod and tackle box lying around, and found out about?√ᬨ‚ĆLes White’s?√ᬨ‚Ćawesome new fishing rod! I had to check this out, fishing in SL? Are you crazy? It’s awesome. You can catch several different things, with the goal of catching them all! I’ve caught three tires! The only downside is that the rod can only be used at Quan Li, but why would you want to leave Quan Li anyways? It’s awesome.

Every beach has to have a main attraction. Something to draw the thrill seekers and those not faint at heart alike. Some beaches have beautiful women, others, cool rides and animations. Quan Li? The TSUNAMI wave. It’s?√ᬨ‚Ća beast, and it’s a hell of a ride. Novices steer clear, unless you want to eat saltwater and have your face sting for weeks. It doesn’t care who you are, it will chew you up and spit you out. The wave is also on sale for those who want to add a little punch to their beach.

That’s not to say Quan Li doesn’t have drawbacks. I’ve noticed during my sessions that the lag sometimes isn’t as good as I would hope (though it’s not as bad as Laguna was, oh no) but who cares about lag when you’re surrounded by funny people, beautiful babes, and a whole lot of waves?

All in all, Quan Li is a damn good place to hang out. It might not hold a place in my heart like Amore does, but it’s freaking beautiful. It’s got good people, a killer wave, beautiful trees, and what can I say? It makes me look good.
