Treyarch surfing game starring Kelly Slater with realistic wave simulation for the era. World surf spots and acrobatic manoeuvres are well represented. A solid niche title for PS2 surf fans, uncommon in the video game landscape.

Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer still worth playing in 2026?
A surfing game from Treyarch, Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer applies the Tony Hawk recipe to the wave, where you chain tricks and combos on sunny spots while racking up points in a relaxed summer mood. The sense of riding, the trick system and the rock soundtrack appeal in short sessions. The peculiar handling of the wave and a degree of repetition limit the long term interest. A good board sports game for fans of arcade extreme sport and 2000s surf culture.
