Mari's Mailbag - Second Life Surfing Competitions

If you are a new surfer, attending Second Life surfing competitions is an excellent way to meet fellow surfers and see first hand how competitions are performed. You will absolutely love watching the surfers compete and the party atmosphere in the stands. The SLSurfing Association competitions start 11 AM SLT and usually last to around 3 PM SLT, sometimes later depending on the number of surfers and different variables. The SLSA competition dates can be seen at the SL Surfing Association website (http://www.surfslsa.com/) where you can also sign up to become a member of this exciting organization.  Once signed up and registered, you can then compete at SLSA events on a team or independently. There are other competitions that you can take part in, as well. The Australian Surfing Association was created to be a sister group to SLSA and Desne Aabye is the currrent director for that organization.  There's also Vibrations Surf Alliance (VSA) run by VW Sands and the Brazilian Surfing Association (ABSSL) run by Leogarto Burt.  SurfWatch keeps a schedule of all the various competitions in one convenient location on the 2009 Surf Calendar.  One thing for sure is, you need to come out and see them ...it's a great time.
