SLurfers constantly looking for the next best thing, keep reading! There's a new competition emerging at HummingBird Point. Inspired by Real Life competitions, HummingBird Point Owner, Shilow Carter created a Free Style surfing competition where a surfer competes against a clock and one competitor in order to advance to the next round.
HummingBird Point is an innovative design that focuses more on frequent and fun waves, with a stretch of land between, offering any experienced surfer an immensely entertaining ride. In the spirit of its unique design, Shi hopes to offer people a chance to try something untraditional in the Second Life competitive surf world. Carter heavily respects the already in place competition circuit that runs almost all year long, but was hoping to start a new trend to complement the surfing community.
The deadline to register is Thursday, October 26, 2017 but the competition itself doesn't start until November 4th. So there's plenty of time to get familiar with YOUR board and the wave. That's right, surf any board you want.
Here's how it works:
"You go against the clock, not 3 single waves..... you surf for 6 mins" Carter explained while on location to gather information (and sign up, of course). "You can go from wave to wave and you surf against one opponent. You have to win the heat to advance".
When asked about the length of the competition, Carter explained her tentative schedule, "It may be possible the heats may go over a couple of weekends or even during the week if everyone can turn up that needs to be there." Only the judges and the opponents need to attend to have the heat, but spectators are welcome to watch from anywhere on the sim.
Surfers are excited to see this new era of competitive surfing blossom and hope that surfers across the grid participate in the advancement of the sport we all cherish. Shilow Carter urges that all competitors read the information provided at HummingBird Point Notice Board very carefully to understand all the aspects. Contact Shilow Carter inworld or on FaceBook for questions.
