Great but please add more spots.

Its more fun now because they did but add more places but it would be cool to add more like the Newport wedge and blacks beach and steamer lane and mavericks just add more places.

game!

Been playing the game since nearly the beginning. It’s a great game. There has been some updates in the Middle Ages that almost made me stop playing, but I never did and every update since those times has always been at least small improvements but the past few updates have really been good ones for the most part. I’ve probably invested a couple hundred bucks over the years on clams and storms.

I hadn’t updated in a year or better until I updated a couple weeks ago. and have really enjoyed all of the new updates, like the new spots, and the missions with rewards beyond shakas and the new spots, as well as the beta features with the new physics and first person view while surfing. I only learned today that there’s another update with minor bug fixes and the air time adjustment on that mission.

Now, with all of that said, the only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is this: Over the past 2 or three years I know I’ve completed level 27 at LEAST 5 times. I just completed it again since the update a couple of weeks ago, but I’m still level 27. What gives? I’m not bothered by it enough to effect how how much I want to play, but it would be cool to be able to hit the pro level. Honestly I’d still give it a 5 but I figured 3 would get more attention.

So much better but…

Latest updates have saved this game. But can’t believe you haven’t implemented a simple way to do grabs with airs and it’s still way too easy to punch out the back of the wave when snapping in the pocket. As long as you keep the initial movement more of a carve it keeps you on but sometimes it would feel much better if you could snap vertically especially on the backhand. The feeling of the power and weight of water pushing you back down the face could be so much better. Having said that it is still far and away the best surfing experience outside the real thing.

Location bug

Rincón is not in California 😑

Never fix bugs

This game is impossible to progress. For weeks I haven’t been able to complete the air challenges on any of the surf spots i currently have the challenge in. I looked it up and many people also have this problem and their posts are from years ago. The developers put no effort in fixing issues.

This game used to be good

This game used to be fun to play, now the developers have made it really difficult to collect clams which in turn makes it really difficult to collect surfboards which makes it difficult to unlock new breaks. The “realistic” wave heights make it hard to get good waves so you have to spend clams on perfect storms.

They’ve made this game way too hard for it to be enjoyable.

Decent, mad bugs though

More character customisation would be fun but not necessary! Looking forward to the bugs being fixed because I’m enjoying it so far. It resets my progress on a mission if it crashes though so… yeah the bugs that just crash the game are a bit much.

Pls add east coast USA

I live in va beach and am not that picky but please add a spot on the east coast of USA for when swells in the Atlantic please and thank you for the game

True surf

This is a edited review, thank you for adding first person barrel mode and more beaches which I what I asked for. I would like a realistic mode where you can run of the beach into the water and you have to paddle out to get out the back or even after you ride a wave. Also adding multiplayer competitions that you can request your friend to play or randoms (kinda like a quick play mode) over than that keep the good work up.
Love

Fix the bugs PLEASE

[Update]
Since being on iOS 26, it does this less frequently. It still happens but it’s rare. Now on snapper rocks, im stuck on mission 2, for almost 1 year because even though the game shows me I caught much more air than necessary, the mission keeps saying I still need to do that air. This is tooo long for something to be broken
[/Update]

Im so sick of wasting Perfect Storms because of a silly bug that has been present for at least one year, probably two years. I’ve written to true axis support about this, a long time ago. Sometimes, when I try to open settings to change something (usually intending to turn off auto drop-in, or change the control sensitivity), rather than settings opening, a tutorial begins to play. When I choose to exit the tutorial (by saying yes, skip the tutorial) my Perfect Storm has ended. Even if I just started it several seconds before. This isn’t the only bad effect of this bug - it also resets my HUD settings, and other settings. Not ALL of them. It’s always the same group of settings that are reset. Im #%@!ing sick of it. I’ve even deleted the app, hard reset my phone and reinstalled it, which destroyed my progress, and did not fix the bug. iPhone 11, iOS 18.5. (But this bug has persisted since at least 17.0, maybe iOS 16 even. Im on the latest true surf update. Please help!

Please read 👇🏿

I got this game about a year ago and played it for a long time because i was into surfing and learnt how to do things differently thanks to the game. I then got bored of surfing and the game because i think there should be a few things that would make the game more enjoyable and addictive. 1. Make a first person view, this will make the experience cooler and more realistic than looking from afar. 2. There should be a sandbox mode, u pick a location pick the time the size of the waves and more. U don’t have a time limit on it or any limits, u can also try boards and other equipment before buying to make sure u like it. Thank u for reading my review and i hope u take these points into consideration. 4 stars👍🏿

Great game - Ruined by crashes

Amazing game. I have now completed the same mission 3 times with the game crashing and not saving the completion every time. Ruins the experience.

Awesome but could be better

I’ve been playing this game for 3 months now, and it’s still a blast, but there’s a couple things you could add that would make this game even better.

1st, I think that if there was a feature that allowed people to create there home breaks and use a pre set swell size decided by the player. so I could surf Lake Michigan and anyone can surf their own break if the weather isn’t cooperating.

2nd, I love the graphics, but it’s missing something. For example, the pier at Huntington Beach makes it iconic, but it’s not even visible in the game, I think that this and many others could make the game so much better.

I know this is a big ask for ur developers, but I think it’s worth it, as it will draw tons of new players to True Surf.

Best,

Ross,

Best surf game

best surf game available, natural feeling controls and satisfying barrels. New update is cool, and a step in the right direction, but I have already bought everything in the shop, and have 450,000 clams only being spent on perfect storms. I really hope that the developers keep the forward momentum going and add new boards, it would be sick to see lost or channel islands, or maybe something a little different like album. It would also be cool to see customization like stomp pads, fins and stickers. The game just doesn’t have any progression for veteran players, but still really fun.

Bug PERSISTENTE CLOUDSBREAK

Olha já fiz de tudo pra ter que desbloquear a missão do cloudsbreak pra desbloquear a piscina. Mas toda hora antes de finalizar a missão o game cai “ sai fora”, eu adoro o jogo, mas estou ficando decepcionado com isso. Não dá nem vontade de por Dinheiro em algo que não consigo ter sucesso. Melhorem isso por favoooor!!

Love the game but tricky angle

Could you please change the camera angle for the waiting period. Love the new 1st person POV when surfing bigger breaks, I can’t see the waves when I am waiting to select one or waiting to tap to pop up. Is there anyway I can change this
