Did you find SL surfing right away?Ī: Not right away, and it took awhile to figure it out.
SW: So from that background, you come into SL. I do have a very special shot of me that won the Eastman Kodak Sports Picture of the Year Award shot in a contest in 1968: SW: Wow - surfed the Great Lakes in RL?Ī: Oh yes! The water can get up to 80 in the summer and usually holds above 60 into November. When I lived and surfed in Mexico during the 1970s, the Mexicans added the 'Aqua' part on, and I became Aquadoc.Ī: Oh yes!! A Great Lakes surf legend!! Started in 1963! SW: (Laughs) So where does the name Aquadoc come from?Ī: Well, early in life my friends called me 'Doc' which is typical for those who are the sons of doctors. By the way, that is true about the younger, sexier alt (smiles). It took me 3 days to get to that wedding, and I managed to stumble in just before the ceremony wearing only boxer shorts and one shoe. SW: (Laughs) Okay, I don't know if you're kidding me about the last part, but I love the idea of having a future alt - how creative! So what brought you into SL originally?Ī: I was invited to a wedding in SL back in 2010. Also, my original young dude alt became too attractive to women and I could not get anything done, because of a bunch of gals pestering me. So I created an alt that would look like me when that year arrives. When I bought my sim some years ago, I set it up as my home town in the year 2034. Tell me how that came about.Ī: Well, actually this is an avi that started out as an alt and became my main avi. SW: You have one of the more unique avatars - you didn't go for the typical. I just bought a farm in Real Life (RL) and need to get that set up. Have you been here this whole time? Or like me, have you taken a break and returned?Īquadoc (A): Yes, I have, averaging about 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, but I will be cutting back soon. SurfWatch (SW): You came into Second Life (SL) in 2011. SurfWatch recently had a chance to speak with Aquadoc, Second Life Surfing Association (SLSA) Hall of Famer, Great Lakes Legend Surfer and Second Life (SL) competition surfer, at the beautiful Bundy Beach.
