addedWe completely reworked physics and animations. Really, it's hard to get back to older versions once you played with the new physics. Instead of getting swallowed by walls you can now lean into them to gather speed. The overall surfing behavior now really suits the state of the wave.

addedA great new feature is the secondary swell option. You can choose to surf all conditions and spots with secondary swell turned off or on, which will drastically increase choppiness and add unpredictable minor waves.

changedFurthermore we remastered the graphics. Surfers appear wet, with water drops flowing down the skin. Water surfaces and white water were also improved.

changedGamepad/controller support was improved. If you had a gamepad not working, please try again.

changedWe improved the POV cam, which increases immersion by a lot.
