Congratulations to Mr Pova Rustamova. Although... two ladies on stage... /me thinks a lady should have won! ;)
Well, with 6 ladies in Second Life surfing's top 10 it does look a bit like a ladies season. On the other hand, 3 out of 5 competition winners this year were male surfers, so I think the men have scraped through for another season!
Let's see what happens in the second half of the year ;)
