This Is Just Sad

I can't help but feel sorry for these people, surfing in Second Life.

No need to feel sorry for us surfergrrrl, I've just come back from 10 days surfing in Bali! However, there are no waves where I live, so I have other hobbies, writing the Second Life surfing blog is one of them.

BTW the pic you used is in Second Life sim themed on Costa Rica. It's being built by a Costa Rican travel agent as part of its marketing promotion to get people to go and visit Costa Rica.

I'm now waiting it out till my next surf trip in October, so please catch one for me!

Dawn at the beach. Air almost 50 degrees, water slightly warmer. Full moon hanging over the ocean, sun rising from the hills. Swell gently lifting my surfboard a little closer to the sky as it passes by on its way to touch the beach. Icy water trickling down the front of my wetsuit. Feet going numb from the cold despite neoprene booties and thermal socks. Two dolphins in the lineup chase silver fish, who leap into the air in a swirling mass, sparkling in the first rays of the sun. Then "pwwwfff!" as another dolphin surfaces and exhales not a dozen feet from me, before gracefully sliding back under the water. What a great way to start the day!
