In Sword of the Sea, you are on a quest to unveil the ancient sea buried beneath the land. As you carve your way forward on the ancient and powerful Hoversword, which moves like a snowboard, skateboard, and surfboard all in one - you will discover the remnants of a lost culture hidden in skatepark-like ruins, and transform sandy dunes into glittering, emerald waters teeming with life.
One part meditative and one part exhilarating, you will feel the spiritual magic of surfing as you connect with nature and restore life to the land all while pulling off radical flips, spins, and grab tricks with ease.
