Although the residents of different islands across the Surf Noir Archipelago have many distinct cultural and philosophical differences, one notion that is commonly shared among them is "Imagine a place".
An idiom with origins predating anyone's memory is perfect to describe the unique aspects of each island.
For example, those residing in Nearstalgia Bay will tell you to "Imagine a place where the sun is always setting".
This imagination also highlights Wave Tech's managed isolation of some islands in Surf Noir.
With a strong desire to escape, and nowhere to escape to...you "Imagine a place" as your last resort.
