changedPower turns are much more effective now (stretch your legs once you lean to the side or even the back side for an extreme movement)
changedAerials without a jump button (hard, but possible)
fixedOverall the swallowing when hitting the lip or in the barrel is much much less. Still not completely gone, but they should only appear with movements that would result in a wipeout because your body would hit the wall. We want to replace these with wipeout animations. A new issue is that the barrel sometimes spits you out when you do a strong turn into it, but this also should be replaced by wipeouts. But overall the surfer lines up much better in the barrel any anywhere else! POV-CAM (first person view) Once you're up urfing you can now choose between 3 perspectives New weather condition for Indo A paradise like spot. Crystal clear blue water. Intense radiating sun and sky. Super glassy! Can see the caustics on the ground very well if shading is medium at least. An ín-game Tutorial The controls can be studied here. We tested the tutorial without sound. Now there is a big applause for every tutorial step you achieve:) (will be fixed) We reshaped all the boards Higher quality meshes with authentic shapes. A few more fixes... A big thank you to all of you for the discussions which help us to improve further and further. Your ideas and hints are very precious to us and also all the other content you post like videos and reviews help us a lot! We just uploaded a video showing some of the new stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIHb3LJW6Ac If the physics on your machine behave much different to those you see in the video help us and let us know. We want them to be good for everybody. You can see that snaps and cutbacks are much better. Absolutely try the stretch legs button to do some powerful turns. Looking forward to your feedback! Enjoy!

PHYSICS New Possibilities

  • Radical maneuvers in critical steep sections of the wave

  • Power turns are much more effective now (stretch your legs once you lean to the side or even the back side for an extreme movement)

  • Floaters

  • Aerials without a jump button (hard, but possible)

  • Loopings, as the wave really catches your board (very hard to do though)
