Happy Birthday, Jimbo the Cartboy!

SurfWatch readers are by now very familiar with our favorite Cartboy and his channel surfing adventures; his love, the fabulous Emma Portilo; their beautiful home on Isoropia; Tasya, the newest member of their family; and Bandit, Jimbo's long time companion.  In honor of Jimbo's birthday, SurfWatch brings you a trip into an early chapter in his Second Life (SL).

Walking alone in the sand on the sunset beaches, Jimbo left many two-legged footprints on many SL shores.  In many of the rock outcroppings at various surf sims, "Jimbo was here" can be found scrawled in black magic marker.  He always collected stray carts from the beaches and returned them to the local markets.


Unbeknownst to him, a lone dog was leaving many four-legged paw prints on many SL shores, seemingly intent on some unfathomable mission and burying strange objects in the sand.










Inevitably, the two of them became a team like peanut butter and jelly, leaving six varied foot and paw prints in the sands.  The legend of Bandit and Jimbo had begun.

Many people are unaware that Jimbo worked early on as a lifeguard at Cornish surfing beach, saving many over-daring surfers overcome by the challenging waves (and losing a few as well.  Does anyone still see Dumisani Ah?  It's rumored Jimbo went out to save him and came back to shore with an empty floatie.)

And most people are unaware that Bandit was also employed as a lifeguard to save Jimbo when he went in to save the surfers.


However, Bandit was caught in some questionable behavior.  Jimbo was initially blamed for the torn and chewed swimsuits appearing on the beaches.
But when Jimbo was also blamed for inappropriately "watering" the famous Sisterhood of the Sand (SOS) plant, a hidden camera revealed the real culprit.


Bandit was banned to the outskirts where Jimbo loyally followed him, sleeping on the beach in makeshift tents and dodging coconuts until one day running into Emma Portilo when everything changed.  But that's another story for another birthday.



Jimbo,
Wishing you all the best on your special day!  Out of all the cartboys in the world, you are one in a million!
