This used to be an insane game on browser, hundreds of waves to play not 10, a good competitive scene not 5 people that have for some reason dedicated time to it, smooth to play and tricks that worked (forward spin on the boog doesnt even work).... I bought this thinking, this is going to be a mad throw back maybe i can top some leaderboards again and its not. Dont waste your time or money. The fact that you guys are charging for this is a joke…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember playing this back in the old web browser days. That YouRiding was The Best, this steam version though is lacking (v0.0.20). But after my first wave, I know this game will be loved. It feels real riding the wave and puts your mind in a surfing mindset which I want from a surfing game. I bought the game yesterday, surfed jbay for a bit then surfed the real jbay later that evening with only my dad and myself in the water. I tell you from playing this game earlier, i was so keen to get…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is great!! You can tell that the game was developed by people that know the sport of sufing/bodyboarding. By far the best surfing game out there right now. Highly recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a bodyboarder or surfer get this game, its addictive and great fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My gosh! From one of the greatest surfing games of all time to this mess. What a fall from grace. I don't know how you take a massive step backwards like this, but it is what it is. I only had to play a few minutes to see what was wrong with this one. The UI is clunky, incomplete and just an overall mess. The graphics are super rough. The game-play isn't too much different from the originals, but the overall quality of life features are non-existent. My only good point is that at least they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Needs work. MUCH WORK IF you can create the Account. The emails I kept getting where all HTML for Dummies crap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wave editor is not recognising any of my changes??
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There really are not a lot of surfing games out there but I can tell you this one just doesn't cut it. It's cool to see all the big spots from around the world and be able to ride them but the controls and score system for this game are miserably bad. You also need to create an external account in game using your email which I am not a fan of doing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best bodyboarding (and surfing) game on the planet! It took me quite a while to learn how to initiate curtain manoeuvres and tricks but once I figured out how to do it, I had a blast! So much fun playing community maps, you'll never get bored because of how many different types of waves there are and you can even make your own! This game is a must get if your a fan of bodyboarding or surfing!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEST BODYBOARD GAME! MISSING PRIZES FOR THE EVENT WINNERS LIKE THE OLD DAYS!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not refunding this game, because I want to support the creation of new surfing games. Having said that, this is the first game I've bought that my computer cannot handle. I can play games like Battlefield 5 on max settings with ray tracing and everything and I never have any issues. With this surfing game (which looks quite bad), I was hitting 2 frames per second at some times. I have no idea what is going on, but the optimisation of this game is terrible. I cannot recommend it in its…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved the original The Journey game, this is a great representation of bodyboarding (and surfing) there are so many great features already with loads more on their way. Keep that stoke alive!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just THANK YOU for making it revive ! The game is in developpment but we have regular updates. Solo, multi and you can also create your own waves ;) Soo cool to play again... GG guys, the best surf and bodyboard game !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →YouRiding has a storied legacy as a surfing sim, and its ambition to bring realistic wave-riding to PC is commendable. The core mechanics—surfing, bodyboarding, and mastering over 10 maneuvers—show potential, and the inclusion of multiplayer brackets, community-created waves, and a robust wave editor could make this a standout title… if it ran smoothly. Unfortunately, my experience on the Steam Deck OLED was marred by persistent visual bugs (glitchy textures, flickering waves) and inconsistent…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is tricky at first but it's a lot of fun! The vision you get in first person POV while in the barrel is worth it alone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you love riding waves than you will like this game. As someone who can no longer ride waves physically this game fills a void. With waves from all around the world both official and community created there is something for every riding style both bodyboarding and surfing. Join the discord where the developers not only listen to the players but interact with them over ideas for growing the game. No regrets buying this game one bit.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really disappointed, ill pay 10$ for the old game not this. and no dropknee :( really went backwards with this one boyos. if i was paying for OG game id easily drop 50$+ on in game purchases bc it was sucha sick one gg gimme money back ty
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of The best ever made! Cant wait for further updates
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really fun surfing and body boarding game. The tube rides are great and the controls are easily learned. The best thing about it is that you can make your own waves and ride pretty much an endless number of spots. Totally worth getting.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →L game wont even run on either of my computers its not my shi lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot believe I found this game again. I played this on a freaking web browser back in like 2013????? omfg maybe even before. I was blow away as a avid bodyboarder I have never seen a game that mimics it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ well. Sure it isn't perfect but the jank is so good and it is the best ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ surf/ only bodyboarding game out. GET IT it is amazing for 5 bucks. TBF. The controls are a little strange. However once the muscle mem kicks in its like flicking the stick of a controller and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game fun to play if you have the money to buy the game i recommend if you can get your money back with out any issues but if you cant i recommend just saving up for something better, in the videos of the game it shows the land but you cant see it its a lie i dont know why but you cant. its fun to play tho not the best graphics but its not to bad it would be nice if they did a update on the graphics like when you go pov you cant see the hands the board, and if you do a air revers in pov…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this Game! Altough I miss the DK option from a long time ago version!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is easily one of my favorite games currently on Steam, it's constantly updated by the amazing developers with new and interesting features and recently got a new UI that I really like. I myself am an avid bodyboarder and enjoy playing this game for that reason, it is also one of the only games that I know of that involves bodyboarding. This game is truly amazing and I would give it a 4/5 which is incredible taking into account its still in relatively early development
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best surfing game I’ve played so far and I’ve played all of them
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is really fun. I hope they keep developing and working on surf games in general.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So cool to see this game come so far, excited for all future updates!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although it is quite fun to play, it just doesn't flow as nicely as it did back when it was on the internet browser simply because the loading times between each fall takes way too long to stay interested now
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game! I had the original version and loved it but was bummed when it went offline. This new version is great, awesome graphics and effects like wave spit are a step up. This game is way better than the WSL one which is awkward and lame by comparison. This game surfs more realistic with flow and generating speed through manoeuvres etc. Looking forward to better multiplayer function where you can watch your opponents waves as well to feel more interactive. Create your own wave is a fun…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont listen to the bad reviews this game doesnt have the greatest graphics but the gameplay is amazing once you get over the learning curve and play with the bindings a little bit love the community made waves system just wish the game was a little nicer looking and had some splash animations
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice graphics and fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really makes me ride fast and hard
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I know nothing about surfing. I feel like you need to like surfing to like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →well put together game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best Surfing/Bodyboarding game out there!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a new player and wanted a affordable surfing game. So I bought this game..... This game looked pretty fun but the controls are to confusing and wonky to me. If the game was more simple I would play it a lot more. It's just to frustrating. Good thing it was only 10$$$. BUT I really do think this game is cool <its just to hard for me>
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I guess this scratches the hitch, as it is the only good easily available surfing game... But the "good" review stops here. The level up system is incredibly boring and long, like actually not fun. Especially if you play on official waves that are quite limited both in numbers and style. You end up doing Skeleton keys session backt to back to play challenges available every 4-5 levels... You don't learn tricks, unlock waves or anything so you grind from level 1 to level 30 the exact same way!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As soon as I saw this game on steam I bought it purely for the nostalgia and because I wanted to support the devs. After a couple hours of messing around on the game, here's what I think. The good: - Overall, I believe the graphics and waves are an improvement from the mobile and browser game from back in the day. There is definitely room for improvements though but I believe the devs will continue to improve it. - The wave creater is so sick. I put in most of my time creating waves from my…
