Did you surf? Any good beaches?

I'm sure that my surfer will be traveling ;)

And you wouldn't you know, Shek O contains the ONLY surfing reference I can find at all in any of the 4e books...

I'll keep looking but if anyone who's interested finds another reference, could you point it my way?

Thanks ahead :)

Can't help with Seattle but native Floridian who grew up there close to the beach.  I'm sure Mr. Zogs (google it) is around in 2072.

Ah yes, already added that to the gear list ;) Thanks :)

As for the board itself, I am also not quite sure what type would be used on the beaches of Seattle either. Only experience I've ever had with surfing was my year in Cali, on a longboard, and I never really got that good at it. I am guessing a pro on those Seattle beaches would use a shortboard maybe?

Eh, it's the future; the boards are probably drones. ;D
Or at least something different after sixty years.

Maybe I should have made a rigger instead...  ???

Drone Boards would allow you to stay on the sand with the beach blanket beauties!

Hmm...what Adept powers or spells would be good for a surfer?  The only thing that comes to mind is Levitatate or Glide.

Athletics boosting and attribute boosting seems an easy and logical choice.

Yeah, I've got Agility Boost and the Gymnastics adder going on, most definitely.

Other powers I am not incredibly sure on just yet, still mulling. The GM says he is wanting to set up the game with low-level starter 'runners, so I am building the character with that in mind on 400 BP. The Magic Rating is starting at 4, so I am kinda limited by that. I wasn't going to get Killing Hands at all until he said something about spirits while coughing, so I am guessing that's probably gonna have to be a given as well, considering the not-so-subtle hint.

I think I noticed there's another thread for character concepts earlier, so I'll and look again move that question over there...

If said surfer were instead the envy of such beach blanket beauties, it would also allow her to stay on the sand and pull all the guys away from them, lol. Either way, win  :D

Can't believe anyone has gone this long in a conversation about Shadowrun and surfing without a Point Break reference.
