The 22th October 2010 I wrote on the post Portuguese surf game for iPhone and iPad that 2Billabong Surf Trip" is a game developed by Billabong and Bidroid, and it brand new surf game for surfers made by surfers.
“The player has direct control of the board on the wave,” says Taj Burrow currently rated #1 on the ASP World Tour. “You focus on pace rather than on action.”

You can vote for the People's Choice Award of the International Mobile Gaming Awards. The game with the most votes will be announced on 17 February at the Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona.

“The player paddles in the water waiting for the right wave. At the right moment the player jumps onto the board,” says Tiago Pires another ASP top surfer who has been involved with testing Billabong Surf Trip. “The camera tracks the player as he rides the wave. The wave is dynamic and changes constantly. It’s the ultimate thrill for any die-hard surfer, nothing comes close to being in the tube!"
As I wrote before, there is not many games on sports. And less on surf! So, this surfing game can motivate young people to a healthy outdoor life!
And the fact of best international surfing champions being behind the creation of this project will help kids and teens, girls and boys, to practice a healthy sport!
And I was right! The game has been a success!
The surf-art style graphics create super-realistic visuals, and the game has many highlights that create a whole world inside the surfing culture. Future platforms will include Sony PSP, Wii Ware, Xbox 360.
Don't forget! Vote!
