The competition was scheduled for this Saturday 12 April.
"The VSA Surf Jam has been moved to April 19th to allow organizers a few days to assess the post-Havok havoc and inform the VSA group members gather the staff to make Surf Jam 3 as much fun as possible in spite of the recent changes in Second Life," said VW Sands, organiser and Bishara Resorts Estate Manager. "Look out for in-world notices for information and heat draws for Surf Jam 3!"
Vibers will now have to wait until next weekend to find went who gets to stand on top of the winners' podium and how Second Life's new physics will make its mark on the competition. The last Surf Jam was won by Buffy Monro, with February's winner Oneill Auer coming second and Jaqueline Infinity close on their heels in her second number three placing of this year.
The monthly Surf Jam's are members only events, which take place on Majini Island, part of the Bishara Resorts sim. Competition entries are limited to 20 competitors and surfers face off in four preliminary heats, narrowing down to 10 surfers in the semis and 5 for the finals' heats.
