Sunny Garcia Surfing

Sunny Garcia Surfing goes beyond the typical sports simulator and offers an inside look at what competitive surfing is like. The name of a famous surfer is behind the game, and this adds a practical meaning to the selection of waves: not only the trick is evaluated, but also the choice of the wave itself. There are eight famous surfers and iconic beaches from different parts of the world, each with its own surf character. The set includes championship, free skating and challenge modes, where you need to score maximum points or stay in the lead in points. Certain tasks test your ability to ride the wave at the right time. Surfing here is based on three elements: acceleration along the slope of the wave, maneuver at the crest and return to the line. I made a small mistake - the judges lowered the score, and the opponent gained an advantage. Therefore, you have to take risks, but carefully. Separately, it is worth noting that not only tricks are evaluated, but also the choice of wave: if you catch a big one, you get more opportunities, but also the risk of falling is higher. There are tournaments, free skating and tests for a specific technique. The beaches are recreated in recognizable ways, with different surf patterns, so the same skills have to be applied in different ways. There are also results tables with scores for each race, which allows you to see exactly where points are lost. There is also the opportunity to ride in free mode, if you just want to try the wave without judges' ratings. The graphics and animations are not great, but the structure of the competition is well thought out. For those who are close to the theme of the ocean, the Sunny Garcia Surfing remains one of the few clear options of its time.
