On an expedition into Polynesia Uncharted featuring Peter Potamus and nephews Patrick and Perry II

[As our scene opens, we find them joining the local royalty of some isolated and unknown Polynesian kingdom at a secret and exclusive surfing break where the royalty have regular surfing competitions among local elders and chieftains ...] PERRY POTAMUS II, gliding onto the shore in a native surfboard after quite the ride in a modest barrel: Was there nothing more fascinating than just being alone in a rather irridescent tube, just wearing yourself and just sensing a wonderful sort of feeling? A NATIVE POLYNESIAN PRINCE, who took notice of Perry's tube ride from shore: It's just something we natives find fascinating, as if just wearing ourselves underwater and perhaps having a dolphin guide us through coral reefs most wondrous wasn't interesting in itself! PERRY POTAMUS II, unable to contain excitement: And to also have that crazy feeling between my legs while gliding through that green tube! A NATIVE POLYNESIAN PRINCE, chuckling at the remark: Such things are bound to happen, friend ... and how exactly is it possible for a hippo like yourself to ride the waves, to begin with? PETER POTAMUS, explaining all: We, Your Highness, are natural creatures of the water more than anything! A NATIVE POLYNESIAN PRINCE: So that explains everything ...!

As reminder, Patrick Potamus and Perry Potamus II, imagined as nephews of Peter Potamus, are original characters of mine with Hanna-Barbera inspiration and influence.

Global Surfing Tourism: Waves Creating an International Spectator Sport

The Rise of Global Surfing Tourism Over the past few decades, surfing has evolved from a niche activity enjoyed by a small community into a globally popular spectator sport and massive tourism driver. Surfing destinations that were once known only to local wave riders have emerged onto the international stage, drawing crowds of both participants and observers from around the world. Factors like improved infrastructure, dedicated surf competitions and broadcasts, and the lifestyle appeal of surf culture have all contributed to surfing tourism becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. Development of Global Surfing Tourism Hotspots Coastal communities that found themselves with world-class waves realized the tourism potential of catering to surfers. Places like Bali, Indonesia and Tavarua, Fiji invested in hotels, restaurants and transportation specifically geared towards surf visitors. Event promotions and networking through organizations like the World Surf League helped spread the word about emerging spots. Developed destinations like Hawaii and California doubled down on their surf tourism offerings as well. The result was a booming niche sector within adventure and sport tourism catering to surf-seekers. Global Competitions Drive Interest The growth of professional Global Surfing Tourism competitions on the global stage, most notably those within the WSL, have created surfing spectacles that draw huge crowds both locally and via broadcasts. Events like the Bali Pro at Keramas generate massive economic impacts as visitors flock in for front row seats to watch the world's best wave riders battle it out on tropical peaks and points. Broadcasts of competitions introduce new audiences worldwide to surf destinations and help popularize the sport. This additional exposure as a spectator activity has significantly boosted surf tourism numbers. Cultural Cachet Sparks Wanderlust Beyond the beaches themselves, surfing culture carries an irrestible wanderlust lifestyle appeal. The laidback coastal vibes, healthy outdoor focus, reggae soundtrack and sun-drenched aesthetics have captured global imagination. For many, partaking in surf travel becomes an opportunity to tap into this romanticized beach lifestyle, even just as observers. Surf films, TV shows, and documentaries portraying surf destinations keep the wanderlust strong and introduce new generations to coastal communities and waves around the world worth visiting.

Gemini Norawit & Fourth Nattawat in Ticket to Heaven (2025)

The Vampire Aesthetic

Ok so Danny knows two billionaires personally and they really couldn’t be more different. Yet they had one thing in common. A vampire aesthetic. Sam is fully into goth. Spiderwebs, bats, the color black. She enjoys fangs and fake blood and the darkness of her soul. Meanwhile, Vlad is Vlad. If his name wasn’t enough, the dark clothing, pale skin, and flying around with a cape and fangs with coffins in his mansion really sells it.

Danny doesn’t know many rich people so he thinks this might be some kind of trend. (If Paulina is rich, her family likes the chupacabra) So he just thinks that all rich people have some kind of vampire thing going on.

Cue Danny somehow ending in the Wayne household. Maybe he was brought over as a friend of one of the bats, maybe rescued from a field trip/vacation gone wrong, maybe some other situation. But he is there in civilian form with civilian Waynes and Danny just takes a good long look around the inside of the mansion.

“So where’s the vampire aesthetic?

Everyone freezes.

Danny just starts looking around, checking behind paintings and feeling the walls for secret levers. Used to secret passages with Vlad and possibly Sam. The Fentons definitely had them when they were temporarily rich.

“Come on, I know you guys are hiding it.”

Cue the entire batfamily thinking that this is another Tim and that he is fully aware that these people are the batfamily. Danny hangs around the mansion more and the bats just start dropping their disguises and not even bothering to hide stuff around Danny because they assume he already knows. (Possibly even trying to recruit him to be a new bat) Meanwhile, Danny, who does not know these people are batman and his birds, just does not pick up on any of it.

He grew up in a health violation with a giant ballon observatory lab above his head and a portal to the afterlife in his basement. He is a half dead teenager who has tea with the god of time and his godfather is the other parent to his clone child. He’s used to death lazers being scattered across his home and mysterious stains on clothing.

People are weird! He doesn’t judge!

Bandai Announces Wave Riding as First Sports Festival Tama Arena Event

Surfs upf! Bandai announced that there would be a sports festival hosted in the Tamaverse this summer, and part one is almost here. Wave Riding will be the first sport in the sports festival for 2024.

This summer is perfect for riding waves, in the Wave Riding event you’ll complete with other Tamagotchi characters at riding waves. First you’ll need to decide which team to be on, the options are either team macaron or team éclair. Be sure to choose wisely, as only one team will win the grand prize of 5,000 Gotchi Points!

How do you play? Simply catch the waves and avoid the flags!

Press the “A” button to raise your Tamagotchi up on the wave,

and release the “A” button to go down not he wave. Avoid the red flags by pressing the “A” button.

Shake your Tamagotchi Uni to jump over the yellow flags. Results will then be announced at the end.

Be sure to use the practice feature first which is much easier than the actual game. Playing daily will contribute to your teams success and you’ll earn points for each day you play based on how well you do! That’s 1,000 Gotchi Points for being in 1st place, 750 Gotchi Points for being in 2nd place, and 500 Gotchi Points for being in 3rd place.

Prize time! Once the event ends and the calculation period is completed you’ll earn some awards based on how many days you’ve played. Reward A is a Summer Sunlight accessory, Reward B is a Surfboard accessory, and Reward C is luckily no longer tissues, but rather a Croissant food! If you play 6-7 days, you’ll earn rewards A, B, and C. If you play 2-5 days, you’ll earn rewards B, and C, and if you play only 1 day, you’ll earn reward C.

The winning team will also receive the grand prize of 5,000 Gotchi Points!

The Wave Riding event will start on Friday, July 26th, 2024 14:00 JST and run through Friday, August 2nd, 2024. The result calculation period is Friday, August 2nd, 2024 14:00 JST through Friday, August 2nd, 2024 16:59 JST (thats super quick!). The reward distribution period will start on Friday, August 2nd, 2024 17:00 JST through Wednesday, August 7th, 2024 13:59 JST. We’re assuming these dates are shortened due to the next sports festival game being held at the Tama Arena shortly after.
