Massive Update

Three new levels

Chile

Comes with 3 complete wave and weather conditions. One at night time. Red mountains are around the spot.

Japan

Comes with 3 complete wave and weather conditions. The most beautiful level so far. Great sunsets and stunning water colors!

Pipeline (and Backdoor)

This wave is different, it throws so much water up front and thereby creates a huge barrel!

We made it a bit longer than the real one, but it is strongly orientated to reality. Pipeline, the left, is slower breaking and a relatively short ride. Backdoor, the right, is faster breaking, but if you can hold up its speed, you'll get rewarded with a longer ride.

Comes with 3 complete wave and weather conditions.

Ultra realistic mode

We refined the physics and it's awesome how much this changes.

Once in the main menu (surf lobby), make sure you've got it activated. For our early access community we want to give the possibility to compare the 2 modes.

When activated the surfboard glides super stable, sticks to the water and really cuts through the water. Goodbye RC Surfer! The spray created by the surfboard also looks better with the new mode. All due to the physics refinement, isn't this sick?! Another consequence is that catching waves is harder. Especially the big ones are hard to catch while not steep enough. So you need to get close enough to the breaking point. Also the surfer looses speed quickly when being in non-steep sections of the wave. Tube rides get much better and stable. Remember those bumpy tube rides at initial release? Check it out now:

You'll be noticing a lot of other new stuff in this video too. It's all available right now. You just have to get there in career mode. By default only the first two levels are unlocked. But they are easy to win, and those of you with some experience will quickly advance.

Career Mode

When entering the main menu you'll see that now there are surfing statistics and trophy that can be unlocked. You have the possibility to change or skip challenges, so you can choose which challenges you want to do (to a certain point), but it affects the contest. Hit the dice to get a randomly chosen challenge. Hit the beer to skip a challenge. But watch out for contest penalties! You need to get third place in week F (Finals) to unlock a new level. If you get 1st place, you win a trophy! Grab your board and master those challenges and contests!

Board designer

There are some default pics now that you can choose if you don't feel like browsing the net. Also there was a bug, and some people couldn't open files (made the game freeze). That should be good now.

Crashes

A few bugs that eventually leaded to a crash of the game were fixed.

New types of challenges

For example now you can choose some challenges where you need to collect mines. It's hard but super fun. Better switch on ego cam.

Grabs & Backflips

Your surfer now automatically chooses one of different grabs when your air is high enough. When in the air you have full control of the rotation, so you can do backflips for instance. They don't affect the career yet (don't get tracked). But for our early access community we want to give this to try out. Let us know how you like it!

Have fun!
