Surf's Up at Sugar Beach!

A sweet sunset at Sugar Beach

Sugar Beach is an amazing new pipeline surf break, with double pipes running diagonally across 80% of the Bounty Reef sim, making it one of the longest wave runs in Second Life.

"We wanted to have a long run," says co-owner Desirae Beaumont, who is placed second in the Second Life Surfing Association's (SLSA's) first 2008 Season. And they do have a long run, lasting about 40 seconds and breaking North West to South East into a little cove beside the Sugar Dolls Beach Club. "We also wanted to have an open sim to surf and hang out," Desirae explains. "It should be all about fun."

"Each space was made to be special," says co-owner Bobbi Laval, who is also a SLSA surfer, and a talented builder. "Some of it I built, some is pre-fab." If you enjoy one of the relaxing loungers or other buildings at the beach, look for Bobbi's shop (called Bobbi's Bits) nearby to see if it is available for purchase.

The Sugar Dolls Beach Club is a great place to relax straight off the waves, feeling comfortable and casual. If you're lucky you'll catch a live musician. "Tone Uriza has been a regular for us, playing live blues," Bobbi told Surfwatch. "We will book bluesman kelvinblu Oh," Desirae added. "And I am trying to get Micki Underwood also," (a popular female guitarist that plays classic rock). In addition to the beach club and waves the surrounding islands feature a couple of shops, an exotic club in the South West corner and numerous secluded areas to lounge with a loved one.

All in all, Sugar Beach is as sweet as it's owners and worth the time to give it a shot. You never know, you may find that you have a sweet tooth.
