2nd SL Surf Competition Results and After Party

What an amazing event!! We all showed up, with minimal prim and left our scripts behind. Can I say, there were a lot of bald heads and duck walking that day. But it worked. The lag was definitely less this time.

Only in SL would I ever dream of being able to compete in a Surfing Competition, and not making a complete fool of myself. As it was I think I did pretty well for my first competition and limited experience on these waves. I achieved my goal of at least scoring some points. Here are the results as posted if Namiko's website (www.namikosurf.com):

I didn't finish last. Hurrah! I am not going to even check to see if Gerran, Warren and Kidd were able to compete. I am going to just be happy with not finishing last. If I remember right, I got 12 points. Not too bad, especially considering that we didn't even know that our heat had started until a minute and a half into it. I received a souvenir surfboard, the one I used in the competition, and a L$50 gift certificate from Namiko. Not sure what I will do with that since I already own every suit Keala has ever made. **Cierra double checks her inventory** I need to ask her to make some cute little board shorts.

Great job by all of the Hedon Team! Flynn made it to the Semi-Finals. Vince, Tabby and I were able to compete well. We just gave up the perfect ride to someone else in out heat. Aren't we givers?

Super congrats to my SL Bro and teammate Requiem Theriac for his second place finish! Congrats to everyone for their jobs well done, especially those of you who have been so friendly and welcoming to me. You know who you are ;)

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures, of the competition. But when you check out Namiko's site, you can also see photos taken by Ramus Overlord, their team photographer.

Here are my pictures taken during the competition and at the after party held at Hedon Beach (send your name suggestions on a notecard in-world to Flynn Sheridan before April 22).

And the after party. Only question - Who invited the sheep?


And then then everyones clothes magically disappeared -damn that SL- while we were surfing! I see a new marketing campaign: Hedonism Beach-Home of SL's only clothing optional Ssurf spot. And after we heroically we danced on:

Honestly, Flynn and I were not the only ones naked - the other pictures were, well, not suitable for publication.
