Coming Home to Quan Li

Quan Li. It’s no secret that my first and favourite surf spot is Quan Li. I came to this beach in my first few days and fell in love with it and the people here. So several weeks ago, when Seb offered me the opportunity to take over the island (he’s crazy busy in RL), I said “yes” immediately. We just confirmed the transfer last night and Namiko Surf Co. can now really call Quan Li “home”.

Call me sentimental, but Quan Li is not just a great surf spot (which it is), it is the place to meet your friends, to check your IMs, to relax, to become a Master Fisherman, to have a super-long fireside chat, or a super late random drum and mini-gun party… like I’ve said, I’ve practically lived there since day one. I picked a few photos from my albums… and amazingly enough there are tons more here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/namikosurf/tags/quanli/

This afternoon at Quan Li

So, Quan Li is my home away from home, and it can be your home too (yeah, actually you can set Quan Li as your Home Location if you are in the “Namiko Surf Co.” group). Respect the beach, love the beach, take care of this beach. And thank you to Seb, Pixie and Heather for creating and developing this island for us.

Congratulations Keala! I am so happy you have Quan Li as your new home! It is an awesome surf spot. I will come by and visit! Namiko has always needed it’s own surfing sim. I hope you will offer lessons there too! See you on the waves!

Congratulations Keala!!! I am very happy for you. I can hear the excitement in your words. I don’t think I have actually surfed at at Quan Li. Yes, I do live under a rock; It is the one by the lighthouse. :p I will be there very soon to check it out.

Congrats again!
