I love doing this every year to show how much we've grown as a community, but also as a report card to ensure that we are doing things right! 2019 was undoubtedly our best year on record, and I would like to share the statistics of this year with you!

Skill Surf:

• In 2019, we had 182,721 unique players from 155 different countries. This is a growth increase of 22% since the previous year!
• We had 45.5 years of play time on surf this year. Absolutely unprecedented number.
• The player with the most time in 2019 had a whopping 1,471 hours!
• We currently have 742 maps in rotation throughout all of our servers, this is up 70 since last year when I made the year in review post.
• In 2019, we had a ton of new personal bests! This includes 91,925 bonus completions, 303,426 map completions, and 2,612,395 stage completions.
• The quickest map time in 2019 was completed by a-ha!, on his own...

Hey guys, as many of you already know on November 2nd I am hosting a 24hr live charity stream, over on my Twitch channel to raise money for children's hospitals around the continent. Our goal is to raise $1500 this year, and there are several donation prizes & incentives, including an early bird $10 goal that will put you in the running for a $25 Amazon gift card, if you donate before stream day!
