Surfing Minigame
This page contains a JavaScript game that will teach you the basics of surfing. It is a top down version of a simplified surf map, where your goal is to use the A & D keys to practice sticking to ramps, building speed, and moving your character.
If you've stumbled across this game and don't know the first thing about surfing, I reccommend checking out this video to see what surfing is about. Then check out this one, up until he mentions crouching at ~1:40, to understand the basic controls. For this game, all you need to know is holding A or D to stick to a ramp and build your speed.
You build speed by RIDING INTO THE SIDE OF A RAMP while holding either the A or D keys. You then continue to HOLD THE KEY you stuck to the ramp with until you reach the end of the ramp, OR until you press the opposite key to unstick yourself and move in the other direction. Your goal is to hit as many ramps as possible in order to keep your speed, and navigate to the end of the level.
The game is 1000x750 pixels in size, so make sure you use a large enough window to play. If you are having performance issues, try closing the number of open tabs you have in your browser and then refresh the page. Check out the controls below the game to find out how to get play, or press W to jump right in!
