The ONLY reason that I gave this game two (2) stars is because it's the only one i've seen...after all, surfing is a tough sport to transcribe from the ocean to the video game console.
Plain and simple: This game stinks. The game isn't worth borrowing, renting or even loading onto one's playstation.
Just a few of the game's shortcomings include:
1. Poor graphics 2. Rider difficult to control 3. Unrealistic scenarios 4. Rider can only go one direction (frontside, regular foot)
So many other sports have been well-represented as games on the Playstation that are similar to surfing (such as snowboarding and skateboarding). I hope that the next time someone attempts to put out a surfing game, he puts forth a much greater effort.
It doesn't give me pleasure to be so critical but I'd rather give someone the 411 than to have him piss away his hard earned money.
its ok, nothing special

this game is ok. its fun for like the first 2 or 3 days that you have it. once you learn the moves and bust some flip-spin tricks off the lip a few times the novelty wears off. the contest are tough and long and get kind of boring. i donno about how close to real surfing it comes, but the game play could use work and the view its kind of strange. all and all its cool but not worth buying.
What a shame...

I've been surfing my whole life and I've come to respect the sport whole heartedly. I purchased Surf Riders before the game was released hoping that the game's developers had taken notes and studied Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I was under the belief that gaming technology had reached a level that could positively portray the sport of surfing. I was wrong. This game disgraces the sport of surfing and is riding "Pro Skaters" coat-tails all the way to the bank.
If Ubi Soft employs any real surfers I'm sure their heads are hung low in shame. But, based on how horrible the game is, I doubt there was a single surfer that helped with the developement of this game. If there were, I have only one question;
How dare you?
