Field notes
The homepage says its spots use real coordinates, mapped shorelines and seabed-depth data, and that players can generate a location anywhere on the coast. It also describes loading the latest available wind, swell and weather for a chosen spot. The presentation names a range of breaks from Pipeline to Hood River, while its trailer and several gameplay clips remain marked “coming soon.”
