New favorite game! Got to level 15 and finally got my first 10 at pipe. Yeah this game can be a little challenging, but once you get it down it's super fun. And if you're ever bored the beater board is great to mess around with. The 3 things I with this game had are: 1. More camera options (so I can see myself from behind the barrel, that would be sick) 2. An endless practice wave to try to learn trucks on (maybe just add in a wavepool wave) and 3. Ability to walk the nose (longboard).

Pretty realistic surfing for a video game and I like the different spots. But the waves need to be more diverse in conditions. Plus, most of all, the scoring from "judges" doesn't make sense. People that score high where you can watch their wave, is ridiculous. They look like they're having a crack-induced seizure on a 10 point wave. No one surfs like that. Score higher for big barrels that you make it out and hard, critical turns and airs that you make should be rewarded more. Not 100 turns.

I like the surfing gameplay, but the costs of the different microtransactions are absolutely absurd. For instance, to buy a gun (big wave board), it would cost around $35, and $6 monthly for unlimited travel and storm surge. These greedy price points are actually making me not want to play the game anymore. Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it.

Now that I've played a while, it's a decent game but the whitewater is too high after the wave breaks for the camera angle so you can't see the peak on the next wave. That is really dumb. And the dash to aim the drop in gauge is so small and it moves so fast it is ridiculous missing waves just because you guys made the dash so stupidly small. A more fun version would be seeing the wave you are dropping in on and making the drop in gauge better.

Lack luster physics and gameplay. The wave seems to always be trying to push you out the back of the wave - never actually going down the face and gaining speed from the pocket. The latest update also messed up the sensitivity of the controls so now it doesn't recognize when you're moving your finger as much and then over compensates - glitchy. Decent points are really only scored for long barrels.

Very fun game. The controls are unique. Only thing I would liked changed is cheaper boards cause while it isn't too hard to acquire a new one in the beginning, later in the game its ridiculously hard. level 14 and haven't been able to get a gun board. Also, the few boards that "require" another board to be bought first shouldn't cost ANYTHING. Twice now I've made in app purchases to grab the first board assuming it'd unlock the others but instead it makes you pay for them after unlocking. 😡

Absolutely loved this game. But did the developers reverse the controls for left and right | up, down movement? Its confusing to someone who has been playing for months. And im sorry to be critical but the stand up dial is now distracting and in the way. Preferred the bar across the bottom much better. Still love the game but miss the old controls.

I'm giving you 5 stars because surf games are very few and I know how hard it is to make a good game. I had high hopes for the game. However, I'm extremely disappointed. The controls are mostly bad but not IMPOSSIBLE. You can't do tricks, you're just riding the wave. That's boring. Add buttons to do jumps and flips etc.The graphics are good. Also, I know you wanna go realistic but any waves under 12 feet = boring, add weather but for cheaper. Hard rain, wind etc. Will install when fixed

Great game, ok graphics, almost no ads, a stupid high skill ceiling, and real fun. I only have a few gripes but there not two big, first, it has a pretty steep skill curve, so it takes a while to get good, and the score system is kinda broken but that doesn't really matter if your not in a contest which is about 5 min a week. However everything is super expensive the only free way to get $ takes way to long. but other than that it's my favorite android game (tip get the ODYSEA skipper board)

This game is phenomenal but also is a bit of a wasted opportunity. The wave chasing model and the sandbox style lineup is what makes it stand out but there are big flaws and areas for improvement. Main one imo is that the scoring system is wrong. The airs don't get scored as airs at all most of the time. There are no scores for sick fins out top turns. The game doesn't recognize those at all as maneuvers. Would be cool if you cross step the longboard. Also ai surfers to dodge would be awesome.

Was fun at first because it does a pretty good job of simulating surf. However, this had to be the only game I know of that makes you wait to have fun. Leveling up is painfully slow. You can level up quickly, but it's super boring. Buy yourself the Original 54 Beater, go to a point break and spin in circles as many times as possible and you'll get perfect 10's. Because of that, I'm not a fan of the scoring system. Good luck getting better boards without purchasing them for way too much money.

Id like to give it 4 stars but I have 1 issue. The issue is your contests. I took a look at the top competitors and they are clearly cheating. They dont fall, can surf behind waves, and etc. That should be easily caught and fixed. Other than that, its a great game. i love the overall game and is very fun and entertaining. 5 stars when that issue is fixed.

Pretty incredible surfing game. Physics are really good and graphics are unmatched. Love that I can be goofy foot and the controls feel intuitively responsive. Only star lost is for how crazy long it takes to level up and you almost have to buy credits to get a big wave board. I still might, but I'd rather just buy a game, not in game credits. Bad model choice on otherwise the best game.

If you love to surf or the world of surfing, I suggest trying this game, giving some time to understand controls and the way the game works. It's amazing. At first, I was frustrated with it until I figured it out and controls, still learning, but once it clicked, it was so fun and addicting..for new players if it would describe controls more like slowing down and speeding up. Another thing is idk why there isn't any sound at all. Aside from those, I would give it a 5 star.

The missions are bugged when riding a wave. The game will kick you off the wave and tell you you failed. Needs more consistent swells and easier progression to unlock gear. Also scoring system doesn't make much sense. Decent physics and graphics. Really a shame. With a few easy tweaks it could be a 5 star game. (Note the bug as been fixed now.) Also can you guys fix skeleton bay so there is not so many close out sections?

Overall it's pretty dam good. The controls are perfect, graphics are very good. It didnt take too long to get the hang of things and start whippin 180's in the air and 360's on the waves. Riding on top of the wave at fast speeds will really drive up the points. The only problem I'm having in the note 9 is it doesnt seem to respond on all parts of the screen when tapping to start a wave. I dont want to touch the bar to start. My thumbs dont naturally rest there. I seem to be missing my starts.

Decent gameplay so far. Travel times are considerably realistic, which makes a bad choice frustrating. Also, when you are "ahead of/behind wave" you should not be pulled off your run because I have caught up with the wave/slowed and still gotten decent scores. Let the player bail, bottom line. Fix that and the game is much better. My toon should never evaporate from a run in which I'm still gliding across a wave. Just me.

Great game, very realistic wave mechanics. The only thing that stands out to me is, like other people have commented, the wave scoring system is geared around barrel time and some breaks just don't give you the opportunity to ride a long hollow barrel. If you could include maneuvers like cutbacks and lip slaps, airs, etc. Into the scoring dynamic this game would be incredible. Other than that I think it's great, sometimes I find myself just staring at the screen watching the waves..kudos fellas

Please stop scoring only based on barrels! To get a decent score you have to stay barreled for the entire wave!! That's not realistic nor is it a fun way to play. Score nice turns and airs higher, and how deep we were in the barrel. I've been stuck at level 19 for 4 months now, it's impossible to keep progressing without paying or getting continuous barrels on 15+ feet waves... Please fix this progression system. Otherwise, good game.

This is the best surfing game on any platform.... is it perfect? No, not at all. White water gets crazy and takes up a ton of the screen and visibility. I hope the flow of the game can be improved as well and maybe a real career mode to participate on the tour. A lot of work needs to be done to polish and improve this game but if the devs put in that work this game could be very special. Also physics on airs need to be adjusted a bit. It is fun tho and I hope to see it grow
