Where did the team name come from:
Named after the Cradle of competitive surfing CHI and its spectator sim TAI. We use the terms Tai and Chi separately, unlike the martial art TaiChi. Tai Chi for us means Ultimate Life Energy
Why was this team started:
To manifest the spirit of surfing the pure love of the sport and create a positive force for surfing love and enjoyment. To create a place for like minded people to express the close kinship that comes from sharing a wave and the connectedness with nature, the interconnection of all the elements which go into manifesting the surf "zen". We have a mix of young and old and love to watch new members develop and excel.
Give us any pertinent history/highlights of this team:
We are a relatively new team putting it all together this year. We are out for the penant and would be proud and totally stoked to achieve that.
Our individual members are on a quest for improvement and we have had some great results already. Wil winning the first comp at Mori and MarkFoo winning the ABBSL 4th stage just recently. We have five pro riders in the top 20, but we are proud of all the riders in our team.
How does this team train and how often:
We train regularly, members often call others fro a session during the months, we train more intensely the week before comps trying to simulate comp conditions as much as possible. Helping and advising each other in a friendly nurturing envirinment.
What is the basic philosophy behind this team in terms of SL surfing (reality vs. gaming):
We have real life and second life surfers. We like to try to express real life radical high energy surfing as naturally as possible within SL.
What board does this team use and why?
We leave that to the personal preference for the individuals. they need to get in touch with their own chi and let that energy flow. But we arent afraid of trying different boards, we regularly compete in both the SLSA onn SSi boards and in the ABSSL on HP boards.
What wave does this team prefer and why?
We prefer wet watery waves, the perfect curl for that perfect shred!
What associations does this team compete in?
SLSA, ABSSL, VSA
Who are the top scoring riders on this team?
Wil, Kimmy, Sally, Markfoo
