Clean Visual Identity

Surfboards feature distinct colors and designs that match their in-world appearance, ensuring visual consistency and clarity.

Water speed
Acceleration and handling

Higher tiers reward exploration and late-game resource gathering.

Technical Note - Water Movement Limitations

⚙ About Water-Only Movement in Hytale

In the current Hytale build, creating entities that move exclusively on water without also interacting with land physics is technically challenging.
Because of this, surfboards rely on adapted mount and movement systems to simulate water-based travel as closely as possible while remaining stable and playable.

This mod embraces those constraints to deliver the best possible experience within the engine’s current capabilities.

Gameplay Philosophy

Surfboards is designed to:

Add fun and stylish water traversal
Respect balance and progression
Avoid overpowered movement
Integrate cleanly with vanilla systems
Showcase what’s possible within current Hytale modding limits
