Sim Name: Epic Conditions Surf |
Today’s entry will be a mix of a review, and an event. Recently Namiko Surf hosted its second “Namiko Pro” surf competition, the location of choice was Moana’Ina Beach, home of the Epic Surf Waves by Heather Goodliffe. Moana’Ina Beach was created by The Weather Channel to promote their Epic Conditions Tv Series. The Moana’Ina Beach is one of four different sims on the island, including areas such as extreme Biking and Skiing.

When the Weather Channel claims something is epic, you better believe it is. The Epic Waves reach huge heights and speeds giving a great challenge to any Second Life Surfer who dares brave it. The Second Namiko Pro competition tackled these waves with 21 competitors, 5 at a time in 10 minute heats. In the end, Frankie Miles of Surf Chix came out the winner.

Throughout the Epic Surf Sim you can find some great signs with information on how real life Epic Waves form, you can even watch a video on the beach, for previews of the Weather Channels Epic Conditions Tv Series. The only shop on Moana’Ina is the quaint Sebastian’s Surf Shack, where you can pick up some Weather Channel gear, or a surf board to hit the waves with.

Congrats to all of the competitors of the Namiko Pro, you did great!

Almost the entire sim of Moana’Ina Beach is water and waves, making it a great place to surf in Second Life. If you would like to hit some waves without the lag, this is most definitely a key spot for any serious surfer. After the waves, hit the Bike Trail or go Skiing down a mountain for some great fun. Many companies invest in Second Life, but the Weather Channel has taken it one step further by including the residents, sponsoring events, and building some great action packed sims. My props to them!
