I wouldn't want a surfing simulator that would put surfing instructors out of work. I certainly wouldn't want to see a bunch of couch kelpers created either (That's the ocean's equivalent of a couch potato). It would be nice to be able to surf (via video game) some beautiful locations I'll never be able to afford to visit. I'm looking for opinions from people with actual experience on a Wii Balance board. A simply yes or no response is unhelpful (explain your theories, please...) I assume that large movements or leans on a board would need to be augmented using a hand controller or a motion controller. Also traction on the board would need to be communicated to the player visually rather than by foot feel. I hope to get some interesting thoughts on this concept.
