Well, it's almost spring here, which means it's time for g-strings and drunk college girls pretty soon. Operation Spring Break capitalizes on this party phenomenon by capturing these young ladies on film, which goes straight onto their site. The "operation" theme on the front (much like an army operation or something) is a little cheesy, but once you're inside the member's area, that's thankfully gone.
Logging in, you apparently get access to two other sites of theirs. While they aren't in the spring break / party niche, they offer some extra generic porn content in case you want something new. The left icon takes you into the Spring Break area, which is where we want to be! The first menu is only for their photo galleries, so don't go clicking around if that's not what you want to see. I'll start there, since it's what I saw first :)
They break down the galleries into the location where they were shot. All of the expected places are here, including Lake Havasu, South Padre Island, Cancun, and more. From there, you're taken to the galleries, which are further broken down into categories that don't really make a lot of sense. Basically you'll have the option to check out various things from the day (the wet T-shirt contest, the after party, etc.). After that, you're on your own with a bunch of random pictures that they caught on camera. Don't count on seeing any girl more than once, as I think they take what they can get.
The pictures themselves are ok, but a bit small. The best you get is 600x450 from what I saw. Thankfully a majority are shot outdoors, so lighting is usually pretty good. The pictures are clear enough, although sometimes they get a bit blurry from all the movement going on. I don't think there's a ton they can do about that since they're not in full control of the shoot. Overall, the biggest problem for me is just the redundancy of it all, since most of the pictures could be clones of each other. Perhaps this type of content doesn't quite do it for me, but the total lack of personality in the site is what I'm missing.
The videos are large, or rather, they are encoded well. All videos are in Windows Media format, usually encoded at 1400kbps! While the numbers are pretty impressive, the video is just "pretty good." While I'd expect the 1400kbps encoding to produce some fantastic videos, it's just not there. They look decent though, especially when you're looking at what type of content they're getting. This type of exhibitionist stuff is usually real small and grainy, so it's nice to see some content in the genre that looks good. Sometimes there's a low bandwidth version as well, which is a measly 500kbps (lol, yea right), which look ok as well.
They don't really have any extras to look at, except for some internet radio thing. The site is very simple, and very straightforward. I was a bit disappointed to see such a corporate looking member's area, when compared to their tour. Still, they have a bit of stuff to look through, all related to the spring break theme. If you're wanting more general porn, they have a bit of that as well in their other sections. Unfortunately, I don't see it being worth the $30 price tag. There's no mention of updates anywhere, so this could be a one-shot thing. I definitely wouldn't rebill, unless you noticed some new stuff going up. If you're into this type of content, there's enough to look at and it's of decent quality. Overall though, there's too many little annoyances to make it worth too much of your time.

Again, sounding like a broken record, things look a lot the same around here as last time. Updates are hard to figure out since they're still not marked or anything, but I think they've grown a little bit. My basic impression of the site is still about the same as it was during my initial review. The site could use a little work, and it's a bit disappointing to see that nothing has really changed around here. Still, there's a good amount of stuff to see, and if you're a fan of the genre, it's worth at least a quick look.
Score remains at 75.3.
