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:

Swallowing salt water…

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…

Inara Tokyo pulls into the first wave of the session… lucky girl.

Harry Oldbull, the most stoked guy I know, sent me the first big wave shots of the year

Thanks for sending your New Year’s Day surf photos, guys! And if you haven’t already, get yourself down to the beach and try out the new waves!!
