FAKT

Quick Note: Doxx at FaKT has released 4 free surfboard textures called the Armada of Love. These are really cool textures so if you into modifying your board be sure to grab your free copy.

These textures are available anywhere you buy FaKT Surfboards and are located in a nice box so look around. Remember to "buy" these textures for L$0 you need to Right Mouse Click the Box and choose "More" from the Pie Menu and you will see the "Buy" option.

URGENT MESSAGE

If you haven't already experienced it there is a problem with some animation used in a few SSI surfboards. This is not an SSI surfboard issue, it has to do with some broader issues within Second Life.

Rest assured that Seb and Heather are working on the issue and it will be resolved quickly.

ABSSL April 4 2010

FAKT UPDATE

Just heard from Doxx that all FAKT Vendors should be operational.

FAKT 2010

They are finally here! FAKT Surfboards have launch the long awaited line of new boards. The new boards are designed using the standard SSI sculpty and are in a word AWESOME. The line features both long and short boards so there's something for everyone's preference.

These are brand spank'n new so make sure you get to your favorite spot and take a look first hand you'll be blown away.

I am aware of the new boards being available at Mori Pwani and SS6, but if more location become available I will post with a SLURL

Make sure you give these boards lots of love, Doxx is not only one of my favorite people in SL but is incredibly talented in his designs.

High Performance's New Surfboard

Just yesterday Leogarto Burt came to visit me at Monkey Cove while working on a wave he broke out his new HP5 Surfboard. Right away I noticed how cool looking this board is. It has a great thick feel too without a bulky feel and shape that looks fast just sitting there in the water.

The performance of this board is in a word Awesome! The feel and ability to make razor sharp cutbacks is amazing. As far as animation goes he’s nailed it! The animation changes when cutting back into and up the waves with your AV maintaining balance just like you would in RL surfing.

Although the board has some modifications to be completed I really enjoyed the experience it’s definitely a really fun ride. I didn’t have an opportunity to explore the features of the board but there are a few key elements I noticed within seconds.

First there's is virtually no belly time while interacting with the wave you spring to your feet almost immediately. The second observation is that the board has better control then the HP4 boards. Some new riders have had expressed difficulty in the “touchy” nature of the HP4, I can assure you there is a great balance between the old and new here.

New and experienced surfers alike will love this board.

The HP5 board will be tested at the next Associacao Brasileira de Surf no SL event and then go on sale later in April.
