We're back with loads of new stuff, so hold onto your butts! From new mission types and enemies to stronger abilities and more ways to earn loot, there will be plenty of booty for your barge. The latest Surfpunk demo experience will be live from July 3rd - July 6th!
Check out the trailer:
From July 2 - July 5, we’ve partnered with a few coffee shops around the Anime Expo to offer you real-life loot and in-game anime cosmetics! You’ll need to find participating locations on the map, and purchase a menu item to receive your trading card pack. Some locations may have Surfpunk themed menu items!

In addition to the demo updates and Anime Expo, Surfpunk will be at the Loto-Québec Indie Game Zone at Montreal Comiccon. Come share a “Crush ‘n Rush” with us in person at booth #6045! We'll also have trading card packs and pins to give away!🤙
