Preparations on Majini Island are well underway for today's VSA (Vibrations Surf Alliance) Surf
Jam, which takes place at 1100hrs SLT (1800 hrs GMT) today (Saturday 19 April 2008). The third Surf Jam of 2008, this will be the first surfing competition to take place after the Havok4 code update and organisers are using all efforts to create the best competition conditions possible."We've swept-up some scripts, tuned the waves as best as possible in the new Havok4 environment and reduced prim traffic to make the Surf Jam as lag-free as possible," said VW Sands, Bishara Resorts manager. "In addition, we're asking all spectators to teleport to Bishara Island to help reduce the affect of visitor traffic. We're all looking forward to a great competition!"
15 competitors have signed up for the VSA Surf Jam, although only two out of the top three competitors from the last event were able to register for the competition. Buffy Munro shone through at last month's Surf Jam, beating January's VSA champ ONeill Auer, who came second and Jaqueline Infinity who finished third. No doubt, with one win each under their belts this year, Buffy and ONeill will both be surfng hard to try to secure the spot on top of the winners' podium today.
The VSA's monthly Surf Jam's are members only competitions taking place on Majini Island, part of the Bishara Resorts sim. However, fellow surfers, visitors and prospective members are always welcome to watch. Spectators should teleport to Bishara Island to watch the competition. Click here to teleport.
