Most of the horrible reviews are due to the lack of info on how to control the game. It’s pretty frustrating. Turn by tilting your device. Change views by clicking near the top of the screen. When the run starts, you don’t paddle. You tilt hard and do a weird 360 to get on the face of the wave. Continue carving by tilting. That’s all I’ve figured out so far.

Coming from a person who’s played it since it first came out, I prefer the old version. Of course it’s not supposed to simulate a real life surf experience, but there was nothing wrong with the old physics engine. You could grab the board too.I spent $2 for the surfing locations, and was upset that the developer removed them from the selection. I think there was no reason to do this in the update.Finally, there were boards to choose from. Foamy, factory stock, carbon fiber, I had all of them. This is self explanatory during gameplay.I think this game is great, but it would be even BETTER if these factors in the old version were implemented into the newer one. If not, you could just re-upload the older version of the app.I’m completely open to help on the development of this game, and would be happy if my thoughts were taken into consideration.Until anything happens, I won’t be updating my rating to 5 stars.

So. This game is really fun. You are supposed to go like zig zag down the wave then when the we is full go up to the tap and tap the board and it's like your catching air. And you can get points by beating your high scores and the points get you new boards. This isn't even a fake review. I'm a boy who really likes this game. Maybe if the graphics were better too. That'd be nice.

Most people hate this game because of its controls. It gives you a hard challenge but some people can’t handle it so they give 1 star. This is is actually very fun and I would give it a 10/10. Do not listen to the 1 star reviews and try it for yourself.
