Saturday, October 3, marked the Grand Opening ceremony for the Second Life Surfing Association's new sim at Archipelago. The event opened with a live music line up of Obeloinkment Wrigglesworth, Zorch Boomhauer and Tauri Tigerpaw. All donations went to to the SLSA to help defray the cost of this historic new home for the SLSA.
The SLSA also raffled off two Yen Destiny motorcycles that went to Kohana Schimmer and Sally LaSalle. Desne Aabye, Kohana Schimmer and MaryAnn Maa each won a Tsunami surfboard, and Sally LaSalle and Desirae Beamont won a Bloody Waters Beach Shack.
The event had a full fun park set up on the beach with beach volleyball, ping pong, dunk tank, kissing booth, ferris wheel and other events.
At 4 PM SLT, there was a mini surfing competition to break in the sim.
The final results:
Wil DeCuir - 8 points - 3000L payout
Sean Azambuja - 8 points - 3000L payout
Sally LaSalle - 7.5 points - 1000L payout
DeVinna Toll - 6.5 points - 500L payout
Wil DeCuir - 7.5
Kimmy Jigsaw - 7
Desne Aabye - 6.5
Kohana Schimmer - 6
DeVinna Toll - 7.5
Heat 2 competitors and scores:
Sean Azambuja - 8
Sally LaSalle - 7
Ashleigh Dickens - 5
Kim Henig - 6.5
Money prizes were funded by Bloody Waters Construction. Future money prizes will depend on sponsorship.
The SLSA plans to hold a mini competition every month at the new sim in this same format - each rider getting two waves with one counting towards the score. This format requires minimal officials to operate, and many of the competitors donated their winnings back to the SLSA and said they thoroughly enjoyed this competition format.
