Nice entry! I like the retro vibe of the art and audio in general. Simple game that is fun to play. Jumping waves was oddly satisfying. Very cool!

Game description
SURFBOY
Ride the tide. Dodge the chaos. Survive the surf.
The lost 8-bit cousin of Skate Boy finally crawls out of the cartridge drawer, slaps on sunscreen, and heads straight for disaster. Paddle, balance, and wipe out across endless pixel waves in this gloriously sunburnt reinterpretation of 1980s "sports" gaming.
What's inside:
Endless ocean survival - how far can you surf?
Wave-based speed boosts - catch the tide for a leap and speed surge
Dynamic difficulty - the ocean gets angrier the longer you survive
Hazards galore: seagulls, sharks, submarines
