Ben Eath is an ex Surf Ace trying his big comeback. This dude is so f*ing COOL he even can control the waves!
How HIGH can you get? Be careful though: when you come back down and hit the waves again you should not be in the middle of a trick and your board has to be more or less horizontal to get the points!

graphics are very good, especially the waves :-) I didn't really get the controls right: sometimes I jumped hundreds of meters high, sometimes only half a meter or so.
Another Surf Ace game? How can I say no!
Pretty fun! No idea how I'm supposed to make a good wave, but I got to a height of like 300 so there's that :P
Nice audio and graphics, too.
Overall, I'd give it a rating of: Gnarly!
Really nice play on the theme and quite fun to play, plus looks awesome.
Woulda liked more tricks but of course we all have time constraints ;)
Pretty fun, no matter what I did I didn't seem to be scoring anything, and the physics & controls were a bit fiddly.
Other than that, nice game.
A very nice Game and a very very great interpretation of the Ludum-theme. Unfortunately I did not understand how to get any points (may be I play to seldom games).
AWESOME! Fun game, good graphics, creative use of the theme. I loved it!!
Great game ! I love the gameplay ant the graphics ! It's a really fun entry, I enjoyed it a lot :) Amazing job for less than 2 days ;)
Really great job. The wave mechanic is a lot of fun and getting mad air time feels great. The announcer was a bit jarring though.
Overall really cool. And thanks for providing a Linux binary. It worked flawlessly (Arch Linux x86)
Pretty fun, but the control was a little difficult with keyboard
Radical game! I'm into the art style for sure, gameplay felt a bit slow at times though. I was using a keyboard, though, I might give it another go with a controller later.
Haha I like how you used the theme, really nice idea! The graphisms are cool, the music too, I enjoyed it a lot! :]
Had trouble mastering the controls, but did pull of a few tricks. I really liked the animation of the character and the waves. The idea was great, and the game felt polished.
very cool, love the name of the game haha.
It took me a few playthroughs to get the hang of making waves to get a ton of air and score points.
haha. had to check out one of these surf ace games and I wasn't dissapointed. didn't quite get exactly what up and down did to the waves. if anything it seemed like they were the wrong way round. nice game!
Nice theme interpretation. Looks pretty cool. I sucked at the game but it was pretty amusing
Very well done. Looks quite polished and was pretty fun to play too.
Found it quite hard to do the tricks in time! Love the theme though :P
Really fun an interesting game. The sounds are nice, art is good, and the gameplay is solid. I really liked seeing my waves being created as I made them. I found this game hard to play with a keyboard, but it was quite fun and easy with a controller. Good work!
This game made me rage quit ...
I failed hard to get any points. Loopings didn't brings score and when doing a trick using 1, 2 or 3 he didn't get back on board.
I'm sure it is cool once you get the hang out of it and I really like graphics and sound, but otherwise it just is frustrating.
I never could get any points. Still, it was pretty fun. Nice job.
fun game but I never get a score - awesome game - adding to my foavorites

MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I nearly make an orbit - good game ;)
