A browser game turns one kilometre of downwind paddling into a race against the clock.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.
For
Surf-ski enthusiasts and browser-game players
Worth noticing
Ten paddle strokes consume most of the displayed energy, making swell timing the central challenge.

Field notes

Players manage a visible energy constraint: ten strokes use most of the available energy, while releasing the paddle lets them surf and recover. The page presents the challenge as a one-kilometre run with a lowest-time-wins ranking, although the extracted leaderboard had not finished connecting. A separate signup form collects email and consent details for CTC Surfcraft promotions.
