Action Nitro Wave Rezzer

Sculpted Surfable Small Waves

This is the wave generator for the multiple wave surfing beach. If you’ve ever taken a Klepper Sailing Sea Kayak out with us at Long Beach on Vancouver Island, you’ll know what it feels like to paddle out to sea across the incoming surf waves. Hit it wrong, and you’ll spill. Same with these waves. Hit ’em wrong, and you’ll dump out or get deposited out the side of the wave far short of the beach. There’s a trick to it; in fact it’s the same move you’d make on actual water, so try that before you complain that it’s the Wave Rezzer that’s at fault.

Ho-Dads & Greasers!!! The Maverick 100 Meter Wave Surf’s Up Dudes!!!

Action Sculpted Surfable Wave - Maverick 100M

The Maverick 100M (100 Meters Wide) Monster Surfing Wave

It ain’t easy installing this wonderful little Second Life sports apparatus. Here’s what I had to deal with…I’m including the actual instructions:

Proper Wave Run…
– Make sure you have a minimum of 10M on either side of the wave.
– Make sure the wave rises at the beginning of its run, and falls nicely into the water at the end of its run.
– Make sure you leave enough space at the end of the run, so surfers don’t hit the beach or get caught. Read on for more…

For Advanced Pilots — Erick Gregan’s “EG Aircraft Spitfire”

Spitfire MK IX EG Aircraft (box)

The EG Spitfire is a truly  legendary aircraft; EG Aircrafts made it as realistic as possible within the parameters of Second Life physics and aerodynamics. This is the best aircraft builder in Second Life, and there’s plenty of competition! Takeoffs and landings can easily end up with engine fires, splash-downs, ground-searing crashes, and horrific gas-tank explosions, even if procedures are followed correctly. It’s war, baby, stuff happens. This is a warplane, probably the most effective combat fighter plane of its type and period until the ME 262. The EG Spitfire is itself a legend in Second Life aviation.
