[p][/p][p][/p][p]About a year ago, I ran into a dead-end while developing embedded software for the lighting industry and decided to pursue my original goal of making the best surfing game, it needed to combine the bests parts of Kelly Slater Pro Surfer, Transworld Surf, and Sunny Garcia Surfing.

While making a experimental ocean shader + physics system I accidentally created a sweet hydrofoiling mechanic, that's when Hydrofoil Surf was born.

This project uses no 3rd party code or plugins, and runs extremely smooth on minimal computing power

I spent the past few months building this game full-time, creating all the art, writing all the code, and surfing sometimes.

This game has been extremely enjoyable to build and I hope you enjoy playing it.

Thanks for supporting the 'Surf Da Earf' universe.
