Noise Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Preferably with surf. I am trying to find places in the world where the pleasures of working in 3D can be mixed with surfing, kitesurfing and general beach life. Where I live presently, the work is good but its not close enough to a beach with surf - this kills me. n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I practically live on the promenade of Portobello beach in Edinburgh. Not really known for its surfing though. Or the kind of weather even the bravest of surfers would bear! I love it though. You can't beat a bracing walk listening to crashing waves for clearing the head.

STRAT Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 yup, i live within a stone's throw of my local beach too. too cold for surfing, but great for a brisk walk with the dog, or great for a few beers in the summer along the beach side bars.

Noise Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks for your replies. Iain, I was over on Dunbar beach kite surfing last Friday - it was baltic to say the least. The difference between the Glasgow side and Edinburgh is that Edinburgh gets waves although as you know, it can be super cold. I grew up near the beach so, the city has its moments but doesn't have it all. Time to move back ! Have fun N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hi Raymond I have wanted to go to Hawaii for some years now - maybe some day ! Is there a market for 3D on Oahu ? Honolulu would be excellent for its location near the north shore but, I'm not into big crowds and it can get a bit hassely there from what I have seen. Maybe Maui ? have fun n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAYMOND Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 you would probably find work here real soon.. kona is where the boom is the islands are going thru a very active economy and tourist season is at its peak. everyone is looking for good 3d modelers and renderings...etc.. aloha, :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Noooooooo The combination of sun, surf, sand and work in paradise - too much to handle as I look out at 3 degrees and snowing ! The summer can't come quick enough. n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchrender Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 well boy You could always just get the bus down to Bray in wicklow, or tramore in waterford. Personally kerry is my favourite I am sure you know it. I was in italy and the windsurfing off the coast of tuscany is fantasic , short narrow beaches though. I don't kitesurf, but play with 3m sligshot on the beaches. phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi Philip I haven't been to Bray but went to Tramore some years ago - big long beach and alot of good friends from there. Incidentially, I have just finished a job for a friend in Kerry. Anyway, the west of Ireland is full of empty beaches, excellent surf and wind - maybe I should go there and set up a 3d artists retreat fully equipt with broadband, dual processors, projectors, video conferencing and water based toys for when the waves or wind get good ! Anyone interested ? Actually, my favourite place in Ireland (apart from my home) is in Co Sligo - a wee village called Easky - fantastic little spot with much charm and more importantly, serious reef breaks aplenty. adios n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
