Championship Surfer is developed by a team consisting of some avid surfers, plus they have received assistance by Australian National Surfing Champion Mark "Richo" Richardson. Eight members of the O'Neill World Championship surf team will appear in the game including Cory Lopez, Shane Beschen, and Rochelle Ballard.

The in-game waves, which will swell, curl, and break just like the real thing, were created using Krome Studios' own 3D game engine called Merkury. More than 30 surf boards are selectable and there are seven modes of play featured, such as Championship, Arcade, Rumble, and Training.

Float a grab rail roundhouse cutback in one of the eight different locations, each with their own unique wave breaks and tide conditions.

Wipe-out using a selection of different boards and individual surfer styles, over twenty moves and forty tricks, like kick-outs, aerials and 360's. Avoid becoming fish food as you carve around obstacles and progress through six different modes, solo or taking on a friend to be the ultimate wave rider.

With modelling and design assisted by real-life surf champions it promises to be a realistic simulation of the spiritual nirvana that is the quest for the perfect wave. Dude.
