The return of the copy/mod surfboard!

I know it has been awhile since anything has happened at LSD, but here's a new appetizer for you to chew on if you like custom things - the LSD 82.3qc copy/mod surfboard! Now you can completely dismantle the LSD surfboard for yourself and try to figure out how to make it tick in different and strange ways!  Just make sure you keep your first copy so you can start over again after you've altered it beyond recognition!

Riding the P4S Lazor Zap at Tsunami Beach!

Rayzza Rubble re-created the Lazor Zap surfboard in SecondLife! Originally designed by Geoff McCoy with a Ben Lexcen winged keel, this surfboard is unlike any other in SecondLife! Take a gander!

Empty Restaurants

A smaller "Banzai Pipeline" and friendlier.  After watching this video http://stabmag.com/an-intimate-restaurant-date-with-kelly-slater-2/ it also seemed like SL needed a more intimate surfing wave where the wave was right next to you allowing for some picturesque still shots and high water detail. I wanted to be able to capture the multiple water movements and directions in this wave - the water curling over, the water falling down (chandeliering), the mist spraying up from crashing, the water getting left behind in a mist because of it curling over, and the powerful shooting spray near closing, so "Empty Restaurants" was born.  It also allowed me to refine the camera angles as well that my surfboard uses when surfing in a pipe so here it is... "Empty Restaurants" the accumulation of all LSD wave, water and surfboard techniques wrapped up in a few videos ;) hee hee! Have fun!

A typical ride on the Empty Restaurants

The Restaurant isn't really empty....

A view from a far...

Up close inside the tube

Before fixing the surfboard camera, and at the time

I was considering calling it "Fiji's Cloudbreak"

Also note this wave changes color on every rezz varying from blue to green

and everything in between.

Banzai Pipeline Released!

Banzai Pipeline is out! Currently only available at the Unhinged festival (http://www.unhingedsl.com) It's big, glassy, and foamy as promised!  It isn't however the last wave...

Riding the barrel and getting spitooned out the end!

In SL you can dance inside the chandelier and won't die.. ;)

More playing with "death" lol

Even when you get crushed in SL, you are still alive!

Big Wave happy surfing!

Running away from the foam ball!

Glassy "ceiling" of the barrel

Driving the surfboard rails deep into the wave

Banzai Pipeline *Preview*

The one is going to be *THE* one.. Big, glassy, hollow, foamy, steamy, fast rippin' left barrel 'o fun! The Chandelier needs more work and I think I might make the barrel either a little tighter or have it so that the barrel can be different sizes... haven't decided yet...For the moment though, here's a glimpse into what might be the final wave produced by LSD.

You can take a shower in here!

By some optical illusion or SecondLife anomaly, it seems like you can see the reflection of the splashing water before it lands at the base of the curl.

Rails cutting deep into the wave

Chandelier on the Cathedral ceiling!

Escaping the barrel

Backdoor Pipe!

So while making the right handed barrel that Rayzza always wanted, I started using backdoor Banzai Pipeline as a reference for the wave shape.  So here it is, Backdoor Pipe!!

Hope I make it out of here!

Surfing the Right break of the P4S Ultimate Wave

So here's the Right break side of the P4S Ultimate Wave!  I know Rayzza has complained that there aren't enough right breaking tubes in SL.  Maybe I need to make Rayzza's Right Again as a pure tube.  The Ultimate wave does however provide a Right handed Barrel if you've been looking for one!
