For those of us who don't live at the beach, we have to find ways to get there with an eight to ten foot long board slung over our shoulder somehow. There are alternatives to hitchhiking though, and I for one like to travel in style whenever possible. Thanks to a few high end auto dealers here in SL (Second Life), you can strap your board to an exotic sports car or on top of a big SUV for far less money than you would expect.
You can find most any name brand vehicle you want, but if you're looking for a specific Ferrari or Porsche, you'll have to go by looks since, due to copyright issues, the dealers won't have them listed by their official names. I bought a Lamborghini Aventador but it was sold as an 'Avventura', for example.
Once the legs are shot and the board is put away, you can find plenty of places to drive your car. Those with good surfing skills should conquer the twisty tracks quickly as it's all about hand and eye coordination and trying to stay on the track while driving at full tilt. There are competitions available as well, with timed lap counters where you can race informally against friends or go up against the pros.
As with any purchase in SL, do some research before you buy and look for products with good reviews. Some cars come with very user friendly HUDs, which I find makes them much easier to drive. So for the other gear heads in the crowd, this is your chance to own that Italian sports car you've always dreamed of !
