Awesome New Surf Spot and Beach

Warning: This is going to be long

This week was the very quiet Grand Opening of the newest surf spot in SL. Most of the sim is water... and that is covered in waves. It is incredible!! I may be prejudiced, but you will just have to go check it out for yourself.

Disclaimer - I am one of the owners. So sue me ;)

How did this happen? I know you are dying to know... just as Flynn and I (okay, not so much me) were ready to check out of SL, a friend joined up. He explored SL... saw some very pretty beach sims, and said, "We could do that." After Flynn and I stopped laughing and reminded him we were moving away from spending so much of our RL in SL, he investigated what was involved. Long story short... Kaiano (our friend) said "what if?" Next thing I know... our friend has joined the auction for a new sim. Then we all held our breath. And he got it! Woo Hoo! Hi-fives all the way around. WooT! Followed quickly be a, "What have we done?" LMAO!

OMG! Fast forward... we built this incredible place! He put Flynn in charge of the ocean, I took charge of the residential (having a project makes me happy and Kaiano made me an owner - so I ran with it). Kaiano was happy to sit back, put the initial cash out and let us do whatever we wanted. Foolish man, LOL. I love you Kai! We all have gone crazy buying stuff to make it look good.

My creative juices have gone crazy. We built shops. I made all the furniture on the beach. And have tons of ideas for more.

It isn't just a place to play for us, Flynn created an island and put a house on it. We have the most amazing views of the waves. I have resisted buying furniture for our house so far, because I am convinced I can make it all, LOL; although I have my eye on an outrageously expensive bed I saw.

So I said it was a surf spot. That is the main part of the sim. Flynn put in several of Heather Goodliffe's pipes and fluffies (I have no idea what they are really called). He tried out the Epic waves there, but we had the same problems with them breaking up and getting stuck that we had at Hedon. I swear SL doesn't want Flynn to have Epic waves. But the pipes are great. I don't notice much difference, and there is a lot less frustration. So maybe if the bugs we've experienced get worked out, we will put in Epics.

It is so incredible and I am having so much fun! I am on SL all the time now. So much for cutting back, LOL. I will get pictures up soon. Come surf and hang out at the beach soon! And if you are looking for a place live, IM me to see a rental.

C'ya at the Beach!
