Surf Prodigy 1.2 Update Progress

DrewFX Update 1.2 is nearing completion. One of the most significant changes is the camera
angle, predominantly fixed behind the surfer. This removes the confusion of how to steer the player. There is a speed gauge so you can understand where you need to be on the wave to propel the board.
