Where did the team name come from:
"Vibrations" from our group name VSA ( Vibrations Surf Alliance)
Why was this team started:
We had to much to drink one night on the deck at Majini I think.
Give us any pertinent history/highlights of this team:
Vibes was formed back on Bishara and Majini was our first "home break". We had one of a handfull of Epics running back then, Pipes and fluffs nextdoor on Wimbi (with Heathers Reef-Rock collision scripts) and open-water Pipes on Pepo to the east. I guess that counts as both a little history AND highlights. After moving to Mori (which has also been a highlight) we finished the 2008 season in P3 and have had riders on the podium now and again.
How does this team train and how often:
Train? Ummmm..........er.....we drink beer alot and surf together way too seldom?
What is the basic philosophy behind this team in terms of SL surfing (reality vs. gaming):
Not sure team philosophy has anything to do with real vs. gaming but..............our team rides because we have fun doing so. I suppose then that our "philosophy" is to have fun together, have fun with the riders at the comps that we ride with and maintain some perspective.
What board does this team use and why?
Our "Team boards" are SJA sculpties with HG/Seb scripts but these days we pull out whatever we feel like riding from our personal quills.
What wave does this team prefer and why?
Ask any of us and get a different answer each time.
What associations does this team compete in?
We compete in the SLSA series. A few of us have ridden in the ABSL as well.
Who are the top scoring riders on this team?
Hmmm.......whoever was NOT out the friday night before?
If you see a pattern of warped humour here it´s because SL surfing is a bunch of friends sharing time in an on-line environment, a computer "game". It´s not cut and dry, hardcore, make it or break it real life. It´s not supposed to be.
