With a new season comes the new push for sponsorships for the 2012 season 2 schedule. It takes money to put on fun events for everyone, and sponsorships are the way the SLSA can put on an entire season. Not to mention, a great way for your businesses to get exposure and potential new customers while supporting our organization. And you may be surprised at how inexpensive sponsorship in the SLSA can be!
If you are interested, please contact Bobbi Laval or Imzadi Amaterasu for further details.
Thanks to Xander Datura the SLSA has a booth at Asylum Sports. Sunrize and Maldrul are decorating it and Sunrize is asking for surfing pictures from SLSA comps for a slide show. “We want to show the sport of surfing in SL.” Sunny said. “We also are hoping to add videos of surfing on a laptop or tv so people can see riders on waves. We have a laptop that directs visitors to the SLSA website as well as a joiner board and landmark to the SLSA Sim. We want to show people what a great thing surfing is.”
If you have pictures of riders on the waves from a SLSA comp, please send them to Sunrize Mornington.
Thank you.
This Season SLSA Sponsors will be given a new benefit for the continued and generous support that allows us to keep running fun and successful competitions.
The SLSA is pleased to announce that SLSA Sponsors will now be able to direct market to the entire (900 plus) SLSA group a number of times per month, based on their level of sponsorship as follows.
Messages will be submitted to the Sponsor Manager, who will then send them to the group using the SLSA’s Postmaster Messaging Gadget. Messages can include a notecard, landmark, object, texture or any combination of these. The Postmaster system sends messages when people are online to ensure delivery, and each Sponsor Message will be queued for 24 hours, to target members coming on line, after 24 hours, the remaining unsent messages will be sent as offline messages.
Because the messages will be sent via the SLSA Sponsor Messaging system, members may choose to opt out of receiving messages, however, we would encourage all members to take the time to support our generous sponsors.
Messages will also be posted to the SLSA Facebook page and tweeted through the two SLSA Twitter Channels.
SLSA New Individual and Team Sponsorship levels
The SLSA is pleased to announce a stream of sponsorship for Individuals and Teams.
In addition to our existing commercial sponsorship levels, Individuals and Teams will be able to sponsor the SLSA season, with the new “SLSA Booster” program. The revenue from his stream of will be pooled, divided and donated evenly to the 5 surf venues that so generously, provide a place for all of us to enjoy surfing competition at their expense.
The Individuals SLSA Booster Program will have 3 levels of Individual sponsorship
Individuals will also receive a special recognition Tag in the SLSA Group.
Team Boosters are for Surf Teams they will be set at 5000L per Season and will have the Team Flag fly over the Spectators stands for the season. Also a plaque of recognition given for in the teams Clubhouse.

Mini-competition at Solace Dreams: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Solace%20Dreams/54/37/22

Join us on Saturday, January 7, and lets celebrate!
On Saturday, January 7 2012 at 11am SLT at Solace Beach the SL Surfing Association will hold the Season 2 2011 Ceremony.
The event will include introduction of the season top 10 surfers, top 3 teams, special awards winners, Angel Award and Sportsmanship Award winners as well as introduction of the new SLSA Hall of Fame members.
Four of the awards to be handed at the ceremony must yet to be voted by the SLSA members. If you wish to submit your vote in the awards survey, please visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KD3XZP9.
Why? Because it’s a great opportunity!
1. Surfing events will be advertised to the community of over 6000 people community
2. SLSA events will also be placed on notice boards throughout the estate
3. Sim is placed next to the hub of the estate
4. The sims surrounding the new Sim have a beach and coastal resort theme, and will blend naturally and seamlessly with the SLSA sim
5. SLSA officials and managers will have management rights to a parcel on the adjacent full sim, that will be used for our events and rezzing spectator stands etc.
The change will be made without any additional cost for the SLSA. We will also continue to pay exactly the same low cost for the sim as we have been paying so far.

**************************************************
What is the reason for this move right now?
The directors are taking proactive measures, to address some of the major concerns of the SLSA members, namely taking measures to improve membership and competition participation. Access to a large vibrant community provides an opportunity to do this in a mutually beneficial partnership.
So is this sim going to impact existing and future surf sims?
One of the primary missions for this sim, is to act as a hub, an information center, that can independently direct surfers to other surfing facilities within SL, the SLSA remains committed to spreading the word about surf sims to all its members. In addition, the more active members we have, the more visits each of the surf sims can expect.
Will Members be able to rez there?
Yes, the SLSA members will be able to rez anywhere on the sim. Designated builders within the group, will manage the facilities and will return stray prims on a regular schedule. Thanks to such solution, the SLSA members will have a far greater sense of ownership and benefit from this asset that we all help to pay for. This will be a sim that all members can fully use and enjoy.
What happens to Archipelago our current sim?
Archipelago will be turned back over to its owner. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the owner for their generous hosting of the SLSA over the past two years, we wish them very much the best for the future.
