The Flynn Sheridan Invitational Surf Contest for Relay for Life brought hundreds to Surfline to raise money to fight cancer. Surfers of all kinds (including me, the uber noob) brought their boards and ripped up the waves while friends gathered on the stands and cheered them on with woots, the ever-popular hoos, and "For Flynn!" The event was named in honor of Flynn Sheridan, the founder of the SL Surfing Association. Flynn is battling cancer himself and the surfing community showed their support for him and all those fighting cancer by putting together the contest in conjunction with the BBA All-Stars Relay for Life team.

I think I was remiss by not introducing myself formally with my first post. My name is Adaire DeCuir and I like candlelit dinners, long walks on the beach, and puppies. Actually, I’m just one of those wackadoodles that bounces around SL and likes to write about it. I have been blogging on Free*Style for a little while now and am thrilled to start for Rezzable. The creativity behind the design of its sims and the unique experiences that Rezzable provides to SL residents is unmatched. I mean really, where else could you go stare down a giant cat and see frolicking little green people while doing so. I think that would normally require some rather illicit drugs.

Whenever I've stopped by Epic Island for some R&R or picture-taking for SL Free*Style, I've always taken at least a wistful glance at the waves rolling onto the sand and wondered if I could ever surf. I have surfed in rl, and let me tell you if you've never tried it: it's hard. Getting up on a surfboard for the first time is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube while hanging upside down from a tree with a hungry bear taking swipes at you. Actually, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but trust me that isn't not a walk in the park.
