In this game the player receives a score based on variety, endurance and the difficulty of tricks performed on beaches throughout the world.[2]

There are five beaches to surf, each providing different waves to ride:[3]

  1. Manly Beach, Australia
  2. Grand Plage, Lacanau, France
  3. Huntington Beach, California
  4. Tonami Beach, Japan
  5. Pipeline, Hawaii

Reception

[edit]

The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4] IGN called the game "ridiculously hard, but once you get into it, it's ridiculously fun".[3] GameSpot said that it was a fun game, but it lacked variety.[10] Chris Charla of NextGen said that the game was "too limited to earn another star, but it is unquestionably addictive as hell."[2] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 23 out of 40.[7] Vicious Sid of GamePro called it "a fun, but flawed, ride."[15][b]
