A Gentle Surfing Game "The Endless Summer Surfing Challenge"

The Endless Summer Surfing Challenge is already included in The Endless Summer Search For Surf. No need to buy it if you already have Search For Surf.
The Endless Summer Surfing Challenge has 12 single player challenge rounds and two player contest.
Learn to surf, complete the challenges, try all the players and the POV camera and have two player contests with a friend.

If you don't have a problem with the game then no need to update

Some computers were experiencing a black screen on start. Game running but with a screen all black except the UI. This is a new build of the same game. If you don't have the problem then there is no need to update.

More Realistic Action

Updated the surfer movement to be more realistic. Now arms will move with the body to do turns and carves.

The players are no longer shiny. I know, they're in the water so they should look wet, but instead now they have a more realistic look to them. Let me know if you like it.

The board trims. As you surf across a wave your board would turn flat to the wave with no control. Now you board will adjust so it's flat to the ground when trimming sideways. This is more like real life surfing, and will allow you to cruise more on slow sections, and just in general, especially for tube rides.

Try it post some pics and invite a friend to play.
You can send an email link to a friend and they can play doubles with you even if they don't have a Steam account or the game.

Bug Fixes For Last Recent Big Update

This is a minor fix to the recent big update.
Game started with controller configured and now starts as a keyboard setup.
Other mostly minor UI button changes.

Challenge Levels Added

Learning to surf has been made easier. If you want to surf better and learn more maneuvers, you can play the challenges. 12 new challenges have been added. From riding time to tube rides, now you can try the increasingly difficult challenges or skip around and try different ones. Want to practice tube riding, go to level 7 and play the same wave until you get it wired. Learn how wave scoring works through practice chat and experimentation. Switch back to the open world and continue your adventure the same as before.

Two player contests in the challenge rounds uses a new AI camera system that zooms in to the standing player or out to keep both surfers in view.

There's a new game in town, er I mean on Steam. "The Endless Summer Surfing Challenge" has been posted as coming soon.

DON'T BUY "The Endless Summer Surfing Challenge" IF YOU ALREADY HAVE SEARCH FOR SURF!

Please Please Please
DO PUT "The Endless Summer Surfing Challenge" ON YOUR WISHLIST!

I know it sounds stupid to put a game on your wishlist that you don't want to buy, but Steam likes wishlists and will favorably promote the game if it gets more wishlists.

Why you should not buy "The Endless Summer Surfing Challenge".... You already own it. The Surfing Challenge game is included in the Search For Surf game.

The Challenges were added to Search For Surf because they are a good way for players that are new to the game, figure out how to surf and catch waves more painlessly than the unstructured open world allows.

Better performance. Do you experience lag when playing? Is you computer just a little too slow to play Search For Surf?
If so, then try the Challenge levels. They were built with consoles and mobile devices in mind. Even if you can't play the open world part of the game, try the challenge levels, and you will likely have better game performance.
