Surf Jam 4 Cancelled

At around 1:30 SLT, the VSA pulled the plug on Majini's Surf Jam 4. The day was plagued with problems beyond the control of the staff, and after several hours of working on the problems, Bishara Estate Manager and Surf Jam organiser VW Sands posted to all the surfers in attendance:

"As much as I wanted to try and stick it out, SL network issues have borked our contest.

I´m so sorry, I wish we could do something about it but this seems to be a major SL issue.

We will re-schedule the next Surf-Jam as soon as possible."

Rumour is going around that several other Epic waves are experiencing similar problems, giving the impression this is a grid problem, and not localised. Reports, however, could not be confirmed.

Reaction Longboard Epic, 24 May -- LIVE RESULTS

07.40 hrs SLT -- Welcome to SurfWatch Results and live reporting from the West of Ireland Bundoran and Neart sims on the SLSA Reaction Longboard Epic surfing competition -- Starting Saturday 24 May 2008 from 1100 hrs Second Life Time (SLT or PDT) or 1800 hrs GMT.

This is the fourth competition in the SLSA calendar, one of only two surfing competitions left in the season and the SLSA seasons first competition with Epic waves. 35 surfers are expected to take part in the competition including 15 out of the top 20 SLSA ranked competition surfers in the season's standings.

The Reaction Longboard Epic at Neart will be the first surfing competition to be held applying the SLSA's new 'wave count rule' in the event's semi-finals and finals heats, allowing all semi-finalists and finalists to catch four waves each. The event will also be the first competition to insist on all Havoc4-compliant scripted surfboards.


SurfWatch will endeavour to post competition results throughout the Reaction Longboard Epic. However, as last month's Surfline competition proved, anything can happen!
