[8:03] Surfwidow Beaumont: well i guess we can start
[8:03] Liv Leigh: hi hans
[8:03] Surfwidow Beaumont: ok well thanks for coming
[8:03] Hans Zinnemann: Hi Liv
[8:03] SLSF Race Wind Setter shouts: Updated race wind parameters.
[8:03] Surfwidow Beaumont: this is as you can see based on a one design windsurfer used in the olympic games
[8:04] Surfwidow Beaumont: for many years the windsurfers were long and thin
[8:04] Surfwidow Beaumont: some of us remember the mistral IMCO
[8:04] Blood Butuzova: hey joepie we can’t keep meeting like this
[8:04] Ravenalon Coage: gogo go go go
[8:04] Blood Butuzova: noob
[8:05] Epicurus Emmons: sssst
[8:05] joepie Korobase:
[8:05] Surfwidow Beaumont: in the last few years there has been a global shift in windsufing design – higher volume and stubbier
[8:05] Blood Butuzova: hehe not you joepie ))))
[8:05] Surfwidow Beaumont: this is actually how they look in RL
[8:05] joepie Korobase: oh :/
[8:05] joepie Korobase:
[8:06] Surfwidow Beaumont: i felt from the first time i entered SL – as my name shows – that windsufing with real winds was needed
[8:06] Orca Flotta: yay
[8:06] Surfwidow Beaumont: adn in the end i thought noone will satisfy this need the way i wanted it
[8:07] Surfwidow Beaumont: i have windsurfed for years and i think – thasnks to extensive testing with armchair that we have the balance right now
[8:07] Kittlyn Cuttita: Hi..
[8:07] Jumpy Broome: I’m here Izabella. Thanks!
[8:07] Surfwidow Beaumont: unlike tako sailing you will notice a few major differences with this board
[8:07] Surfwidow Beaumont: the first is you lean against the wind with the sail
[8:08] Surfwidow Beaumont: the sail is held mostly by harness lines – in this instance purely cosmetic
[8:08] Surfwidow Beaumont: windsurfing sails move very little when planing
[8:09] Surfwidow Beaumont: thats just the way they are all power is created from the COE or center of Effort

[8:09] Ravenalon Coage shouts: one questions and sorry but we go to see it on action?
[8:10] Surfwidow Beaumont: so the only way around this was to have a static rig managed via a wind vane and HUD
[8:10] Flight Band: All Go
[8:10] Surfwidow Beaumont: this gives it a raw feeling very elemental
[8:10] Surfwidow Beaumont: no frills
[8:10] Yuukie Onmura: hey abella
[8:10] Surfwidow Beaumont: like the real thing
[8:10] Abella Beck: ooops
[8:10] Surfwidow Beaumont: the second issue was sailor
[8:10] Abella Beck: sorry if I pushed anyone
[8:11] Chad Sawson tips his hat to Isabella
[8:11] Surfwidow Beaumont: you can change sides using the page up and page down kys
[8:11] j3rry Paine: skip
[8:11] Surfwidow Beaumont: keys*
[8:11] joepie Korobase: hi jz
[8:11] Avatar frozen.
[8:11] JeanCarlo Kepler: Does it affect the balance ?
[8:11] Surfwidow Beaumont: this at first may seem uneccessary however you will quickly realise the benifits of this
[8:12] Surfwidow Beaumont: no not in this version
[8:12] ameronk Allen: why is the board so wide
[8:12] Surfwidow Beaumont: but
[8:12] Surfwidow Beaumont: this is not to say that shifting sides is not tactical cos it is
[8:13] Surfwidow Beaumont: it is as the original board
[8:13] Surfwidow Beaumont: thats how they look
[8:13] Armchair Binder: the board is wide to be a replica of the actual Olympic version
[8:13] Surfwidow Beaumont: my text may be jumbled – lag sorry about that
[8:13] Hpathe Boucher: Nemme can you move out of my head?
[8:13] ameronk Allen: how is it controlled
[8:13] joepie Korobase: lol
[8:13] Surfwidow Beaumont: shifting sides is important for the following reasons
[8:14] Surfwidow Beaumont: 1. you will be sailing a lot closer than you ever did with a tako
[8:14] Surfwidow Beaumont: and you can tactically move to avoid someone
[8:14] Ophelia Elswit: Hi
[8:14] life Cabaret: HI
[8:14] Abella Beck: we can ask questions when surf is donw
[8:14] Orca Flotta: Hi Oph
[8:14] Abella Beck: done
[8:14] Surfwidow Beaumont: 2. at the marks a shift can make a lot a difference
[8:15] Surfwidow Beaumont: 3. it makes sense to have the wind behind you leaning aginst the wind
[8:15] Orca Flotta: Hi life
[8:15] Armchair Binder: the controls are similar to Tako; up/down=trim ; left/right=steer ; page up/down=shift yourself from one side to the other
[8:15] Surfwidow Beaumont: if you do not sail in this way you will become confused
[[8:15] Surfwidow Beaumont: there is a little tail sink set when you are off the plan when turning
[8:16] Surfwidow Beaumont: when planing this rises like the real thing
[8:16] Orca Flotta: cool
[8:16] Surfwidow Beaumont: the board and rig are mod
[8:16] Surfwidow Beaumont: i caution aginst changing the sizes of the board and sail texture
[8:16] Surfwidow Beaumont: as this is opne design
[8:17] Orca Flotta: lol
[8:17] Surfwidow Beaumont: you can change the textures of the baord but this has loads of colours built in and color charts are supplied
[8:18] Charlz Price: Surf when will it be available for purchase
[8:18] Surfwidow Beaumont: the sound effects of the board are authentic i even rattle my monofilm sails to get a little rattle when planing
[8:18] Orca Flotta: who’s the manufacturer of board and rigg in RL?
[8:18] Surfwidow Beaumont: just wanted to get and introduction out of the way
[8:18] Fiona Haworth: /hug charlz
[8:18] Surfwidow Beaumont: ok
[8:18] Fiona gives Charlz a big hug.
[8:18] Surfwidow Beaumont: Armchair can field questions about how it sails
[8:19] Surfwidow Beaumont: is he here
[8:19] Johannx Speculaas: hi Chad
[8:19] Armchair Binder: It sails very easily; Easy=Fun
[8:19] Hans Zinnemann shouts: Does it capsize Arm?
[8:19] BeeJee Boucher: lol
[8:19] Fairie McCarey: welcome back Johannx
[8:19] Johannx Speculaas: thansk
[8:19] Armchair Binder: this version does not capsize
[8:19] Abella Beck: I’ve sailed it a little too
[8:19] Surfwidow Beaumont: come up on the stage ARM
[8:19] Abella Beck: I LOVE IT
[8:19] Chad Sawson: Hi Johannx
[8:19] Epicurus Emmons: does is shadow?
[8:19] Surfwidow Beaumont: arm and abella and beejee
[8:19] BeeJee Boucher: i nevber saw a board capsize???
[8:19] Liv Leigh: does a board capsize.. i think people fall off right?
[8:20] Armchair Binder: I have been her crash test dummy ; LOL
[8:20] Liv Leigh: at least..i would
[8:20] BennyThe Boozehound: yea Ive fallen off a few
[8:20] Orca Flotta: oh yes, they can capsize alright BeeJ
[8:20] Surfwidow Beaumont: windsurfers dont capsise you either get catapulted or you drop down into the water
[8:20] BeeJee Boucher: lol

[8:20] Armchair Binder: No capsize on this version; no explosions either and no beer holder ; LOL
[8:20] BennyThe Boozehound: but never used a harness before
[8:20] Millie Thompson: lol
[8:20] JeanCarlo Kepler: darn
[8:20] Orca Flotta: crap
[8:20] Surfwidow Beaumont: so no point really as most olympic sailors do not fall off
[8:20] BeeJee Boucher: i can say its fun
[8:20] Hans Zinnemann shouts: Are there any organised races planned?
[8:20] j3rry Paine: NO BEER HOLDER ((
[8:21] Liv Leigh shouts: PROTEST
[8:21] Armchair Binder: Surfwidow will add extra features depending on the popularity
[8:21] BeeJee Boucher: i even bought my own startline to have racewind
[8:21] Surfwidow Beaumont: wind shodowing is uneccessary
[8:21] Surfwidow Beaumont: as you will discover
[8:21] Liv Leigh: does it have an ashtray?
[8:21] Chaos Mandelbrot: votes for herring holders
[8:21] Yuukie Onmura: lool
[8:21] Surfwidow Beaumont: the proximity of racing is sometimes so tight
[8:21] Orca Flotta: OMG
[8:21] Abella Beck: I would like to point out the handy camera hud she added
[8:21] Armchair Binder: They are aimed at FUN sailing ; not complicated/complex sailing
[8:21] Epicurus Emmons: did you write the sailscript yourself or is it based on tako 2.1?
[8:21] Surfwidow Beaumont: that it could cause more problems than it saolves
[8:22] Abella Beck: allows you to pan around effortlessly
[8:22] Abella Beck: I love it
[8:22] Armchair Binder: they turn very sharp, like the 3.3 tako
[8:22] Surfwidow Beaumont: i based it on the original tako script
[8:22] BeeJee Boucher: can i jump in the futere
[8:23] Surfwidow Beaumont: and then rewrote some parts
[8:23] Liv Leigh: jump int he future..? you need a timechanine
[8:23] Liv Leigh: machine
[8:23] Surfwidow Beaumont: that needed changing to make sense
[8:23] Orca Flotta: it’s a racing board, not a wave board Beej
[8:23] Kees Carthage: lol
[8:23] BennyThe Boozehound: or a delorean
[8:23] Kittlyn Cuttita: Can you gybe the land sim?
