Barton Lynch Pro Surfing 2022 is a surfing video game developed and published by Bungarra Software. It is the first physics-based sports specific surfing video game. It was built in partnership and close collaboration with world champion surfer and world tour commentator Barton Lynch. BL Pro Surfing 2022 is a licensed video game based on a series of world surfing events and free surfing locations. It was released on April 7 2022 for the Xbox One and Steam PC storefronts. Xbox Series X and PlayStation versions are also being considered for release.

Gameplay
Barton Lynch Pro Surfing 2022 is a licensed sports game that pits the player against the world’s best surfers at twelve real life locations around the world. The game features an expansive world tour and an in-depth leader-board and sports commentary, as well as an open world inspired free surf mode to allow players to explore the large locations. The game also features a unique pump control system that uses the wave’s physics so that players can surf faster and unlock more moves, adding substantial depth to the gameplay. The games wave engine is also unique in that the waves are fluid, dynamic and are not static. This means that the player traverses toward and can interact with the land, and this offers a point of technological difference from other video games within the genre. It features an in-depth tutorial system for newcomers, and the game also features a heavy customization tool to allow the player to customize their avatar, along with equipment such as surfboards, wetsuits and a large range of accessories. Current day professional surfers including Yago Dora, Clay Marzo, Nathan Florence, Soli Bailey, Mahina Maeda, Vahine Fierro, Felicity Palmateer also feature, along with the games namesake Barton Lynch.

Development
Barton Lynch Pro Surfing 2022 is designed to introduce both an in-depth representation of the sport of surfing as well as to offer people a taste of the freedom of expression the lifestyle offers. Focusing on physics and realism rather than the arcade style of many other popular surfing games series, BL Pro Surfing  was built by a relatively small team of up to eleven core developers and uses the input of world champion surfer and commentator Barton Lynch to incorporate more realistic mechanics and representation of tricks

Licensing
The game features the inclusion of both men's and women's tour events and features a number of branded content from brands including Quiksilver, Billabong, Channel Islands Surfboards, Futures, Creatures of Leisure, Volcom, O'Neill, Vans and non endemic brands such as the telecommunications company Boost Mobile.
