off the Tony Hawk franchise that features the likenesses of popular pro surf boarders such as Kalani Robb, Rob Machado, Bruce Irons, Donovan Frankenreiter and many more.

The game puts the player in the shoes of a group of 8 surfers in search of "the perfect wave". On your journey you'll stop at over 15 locations around the globe from the slow, lazy waves of Sebastion, to the fast, aggressive surfing of Pipeline.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Kelly Slater's Pro Surfing sticks relatively close to that of the Tony Hawk series. You arrive at one of the over 15 locations and are given a handful of goals you must complete under a time limit in order to progress. These goals can range from jumping over a pier and spraying windsurfers to collecting objects placed around a level.

The game also features dozens of moves and special moves such as hang 10s, cross steps and cutbacks. These moves can be used in a sequence to create "combos" similar to that of the Tony Hawk games.

Surf Boarders

The game features 8 professional surf boarders that the player can choose from. Each Character has their own unique stats comparable to their real life talents. All surf boarders are unlocked from the start of the game, however the characters "personality costume" is unlockable as you play further on in the game.
