Socks' Rough Guide to Second Life Surfing (III)

Pipe & Fluffy (M to Q)

A short pipeline and fluffy break at Oahu Island

Maa Surf Area
Sim long run, TP point at wave start. Also features full beach at East end of run. Lots of critters in the water for scuba and exploration. Some board loaners on East side of run.

MarLin Bay

Looks like another residential sim, but open build means open water. Fluffies only, look South-West of the TP area.

Mandi Island

Part of the TCH Estates, this seems a total departure from the rest of TCH. Not damage enabled, open rezzing of boards (at 33,44,25 or so in the red square), and what looks like a pure surf sim. Loaner boards on beach as well as for sale. Lots of stuff here to do besides surf. Skytram goes up to an airport.

Mortons Gully
Small Japanese fluffy ride. For the life of me I can't tell you what in the world is here, as I speak about as much Japanese as the next publicly educated American citizen. But where the LM is you can rez a board and try your luck on the fluffy here.

Moulin Rouge

Beach is South West of TP point. Very short run.

Nag's Head

Fluffies only, can be run from Fulker Island, if you're lucky and good. Other beach activities. Of note: there are a lot of surfing waves around this area, but some seem to be on residential sims. If you want to privateer a ride here, do so at your own risk. Until I hear otherwise, I'm not putting them on the list as they may be privately owned.

Naughty Time Beach

Short fluffy run only, and the name of the place should tell you all you need to know. The striper's pole right off the break is a nice touch.

New April Island / Freeport

A two wide pipe takes half of this sim, and it's a nice long run. The other half has surf shops, as well as many other vendors. The other part of the sim has surf vendors, as well as a fun comedy club and a yacht. Explore! Lots of fun scenery for photos!

Nymph's Beach

Sim long, some loaners on the beach near TP point. Spectacular bonfire on West side of the beach!

Oahu Island

Ehukai Beach. Some sales on beach and beginner loaners available. TP point is a central hub. Go out the hut to the trail going North to (91,224, 22) to find the surf beach. And the biggest freaking shark I've ever seen in the water to the East!

Passion Island

Waves are West of TP telehub. However, walk West, then to the South pier to about 128, 77, 21. This is the only rez area I found witin easy reach. This section of pier is off colored. A word of warning: the waves enter into what is currently a 'red line' area, someone's land that is sealed off. I had to pull a stunt to get my board out of said land. Don't ride the pipe all the way, bail out around the end of the pier area. Portions of sim are damage enabled.

Pepo Island

Force midnight for luminescent pipes and fluffies plus particle glow effects! Public rez area in Majini, Pepo is a short paddle east (Majini Rez area).

Playa Santa Teresa (pipeline waves only)

Pondi Beach

Beach sim, Pipes and fluffies are separated here. Rez area is a pontoon out on the water (251, 181, 21), where you can find "beginner board" loaners. Fly over, I wouldn't trust the in sim teleporter. Sales on beach area. The. Shortest. Pipe. Ever!

Praia da PAZ

Brazilian, from all I can see. Fluffies only off the TP point, but no obvous place to rez a board. A little exploration may yield another wave pool, but it looks temporary.

PX Caves and Surfing
Very short fluffy run, more of a hangout sim.

Quan Li
Another one of the originals. TP brings you in front of fluffies, walk to the West for a short pipe run. It looks like this is the Namiko home site right now.
