Wood and Water Rage NES is the full name of T&C Surf Designs, a skateboarding and surfing game developed by Atlus and published by LJN in February 1988. It stars the Town & Country Surf Designs mascots known as "Da Boys". This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The game is named after Town & Country Surf Designs, a real surfboard maker. Its four mascots are the playable characters: skaters Joe Cool and Tiki Man, and surfers Kool Kat and Thrilla Gorilla.
There are three events. Street Skate Session is a timed skateboard run through an obstacle course. Holding Left grips the board to slow down, and pressing A performs an ollie. An ollie over a rail starts a grind, and a well-timed ollie on a ramp sends you much farther.
Big Wave Encounter is the surfing event. You try to survive a huge wave, dodge hazards and grab bananas for points. Reaching the pier at the end of a round earns a 1,000-point bonus plus 100 points for each life left. The third event, Wood and Water Rage, switches between skating and surfing each round. Each team pairs one skater with one surfer: Joe Cool with Thrilla Gorilla, or Tiki Man with Kool Kat. The teams compete, and scores carry over between the two sports.
There are two T&C games on the NES. This is the first one, a sports game with separate skate and surf events. The 1992 sequel, Thrilla's Surfari, drops the events and turns Thrilla Gorilla into the hero of a single-player action game. Both carts use the Town & Country name and characters. If you want the four-character lineup and scored contests, this first cart is the one to pick.
Play the sequel, T&C Surf Designs 2: Thrilla's Surfari, or another LJN release, Bigfoot. Browse all NES games, or read about Wood & Water Rage on Wikipedia.

Retro-but boring
It is what it is. A retro hit from when I was a kid. I thought it was more exciting but it’s kinda lame

I used to love this game as a kid.
When I was a kid I loved this game but now I have no idea why. The perspective is horrible and the water rage part makes no sense. I am not sure what the point is of this game, and why we are looking past the game from the sidelines. It is hard to tell where things are spacially. If you figure out how to play the water rage part please let me know!

it is very hard to get working on my console. When I do get it, there aren’t any complaints but getting it to work is the problem.
