Activision has confirmed today that it will release Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer, one of 14 games Activision is currently developing for the PS2. Slater is working with Activision to develop the title and is also a spokesperson for the game.

"Our partnership with Kelly Slater over the past nine months is enabling us to bring the ultimate surfing game to market," states Ron Doornink, President and COO, Activision. "The technological advancements of the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system allows us to recreate the dynamic wave motion and physics that are essential to producing an authentic surfing game."

Kelly Slater set a world record in 1998 when he won his sixth world title. He first became the World Professional Surfing Champion in 1992 at the age of 20, and then garnered an additional five titles from 1994-1998, another record.

The game features multiple modes of play including, Career Mode, Special Events, and Surf Trip. Additionally, a variety of real surf moves, tricks, and events, licensed boards, wetsuits, and clothing lend to the authenticity.
