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!

Pray 4 Surf: The Ultimate Wave

A preview of the "Ultimate Wave" sandwiched between The Devil's Left and Rayzza's Right:

The "Ultimate Wave" breaks right and left at the same time!

The 192m Devil's Left

The Devil's Left is the antithesis of Rayzza's Right.  Instead of an open face right, it's a massive barrelling left! It shows how SL is the opposite of RL when it comes to surfing; it's super easy to surf a large barrel in SL, but in RL a large barrel is more likely to kill you and take you under!

Ooooh can I ride your barrel?

The Devil made me do it!

I wanna die!

The 192m Rayzza's Right Recycling Wave

So Rayzza Rubble wanted a long right breaking wave. And this is it! It keeps breaking right even after it hits the bank! Composed of 3 waves, once the wave hits the bank, it then magically zooms back to the other bank and breaks right again!  It's recommended that you use Firestorm with lighting and shadows to view the wave the way it looks in these videos.  Enjoy! =)

Surfing on the 100m Crying Tiger

Here's a video of the ever challenging Crying Tiger Wave! This isn't a wave for everyone! Much like real surfing, you really have to "catch the tiger by the tail" so to speak like you would catch a real wave.  If you don't paddle in the direction of the wave while it is just behind you, the wave will just pass underneath you and you'll fall through the wave. You need to really keep your speed and distance to stay in this wave, but once you've caught it, you'll be in for once of the coolest tube rides around!

Cutbacks on the Bells Beach Mesh wave

I found this video of my favorite thing to do on the Bells' Beach Mesh wave - cutbacks.  Just riding the wave down the line while cutting back and then attacking the wave again.  I think this is what I always imagined surfing in SL should be like. :)
