About Barton Lynch Pro Surfing
 

Barton Lynch Pro Surfing is a true to life sports game that pits you against the world’s best surfers ( in the most exotic locations around the world. The expansive world tour features an in-depth leaderboard and sports commentary, or if you prefer to free surf, simply cruise around the vast beaches at your leisure.

Cutting edge graphics meets hardcore physics and beautifully brutal waves. Pump control uses the wave’s power so you can surf faster and unlock more moves. More speed = more moves! Pump, smash that lip, get sooo barreled and launch airs from waves that barrel, peak, break left and right, or just foam crumble.

Customize your own character to your liking or play as some of today’s top pros, including: Yago Dora, Clay Marzo, Nathan Florence, Soli Bailey, Mahina Maeda, Vahine Fierro, Felicity Palmateer, and of course the legendary world champion, coach and Pro Surfing commentator Barton Lynch.

REAL LIFE ICONIC LOCATIONS

Each location is based on an iconic surfing destination designed to take you wherever you want to be. From Snapper, Mundaka, to Pipeline or the Box – we’ve got you covered.

Should you rock off at Snapper or take your chances in the channel? Want to perfect that bottom to top backside snap before pulling in to get shacked at Hossegor? Now you can.

CUSTOMIZABLE SURFING CONDITIONS – MADE FOR YOU, BY YOU

Use the sick weather tool to directly impact how you play in real-time. Big, sunny, low tide and glassy? You got it! Messy and small with a heavy cross-shore wind so you can practice your boosts? Yeah!
