A playthrough of LJN’s 1988 NES game, Town & Country Surf Designs: Wood & Water Rage.
This video shows me reaching Round 14 before getting a game over. You see every variation of the stages within the first 12 rounds and there is no ending. The stages from that point begin to repeat without any further changes. I’m playing as the Tiki Man/Kool Kat team.
In one of the more odd instances of branded licensing on the NES, Wood & Water Rage is a game based on the characters that appeared on t-shirts sold by Town & Country Surf Designs (a Hawaiian surfboard and clothing manufacturer/retail operation). I remember the characters being pretty popular when I was a kid, and thought it was cool that they were in a video game.
It also had a sequel – the much less known and far rarer late-gen NES title T&C 2: Thrilla’s Surfari. I prefer Wood & Water Rage by a mile, though.
Wood & Water Rage (made, coincidentally enough, by the same people that did The Karate Kid for LJN) is a pretty polarizing game. There are many, like me, who absolutely love the game for the awesome skateboarding levels and the killer music. Others utterly loathe it because of the infuriatingly obtuse and frustrating surfing levels. Thankfully, the developers seemed to see that one coming, so you are given the option of playing either game-type only, or you can alternate types between stages in the titular Wood & Water Rage mode.
Sorry for the not-very-good playing of the surf stages. They always owned me hard, and while I get them well enough to be able to play them to some degree, I never really mastered them. I have to wonder if it is actually possible to master them.

THAT is why you ALWAYS wear helmet, elbow pads, & knee pads while skateboarding!!
Soy el unico que cuando lo ponia, con el sonido del juego pensaba que se habia madreado la tele jajaja
Damn shark…
Christmas of ‘88 is when I remember getting this game along with Super Mario Bros.2!
Memories
My childhood consisted of this game… memory lane!
want to be an 80s kid again. those were the times.
I went bald & grey because of this game!!♿
That wave always tripped me up as a kid, I didn't know any better so I always thought I was back to the start whenever I saw it, first time I ever saw red at a video game.
My shit even though I never beat it
I remember playing this with my cousins when I was like 5 or 6. I loved it, and hated it. Never could beat it.
I love how the skater is in swim trunks only and the surfer in a suit lol
My to…
HIT HE OIL SLICK!!
Surfing was the hardest.
Man the memories this brings back to me as a kid lol loved this game
i think we all can admit that when the music switched up in the middle we got #HYPED! lol
Holy jeez that surfing cat may be my next tattoo been looking for this for years from screenshots in my brain thank you
I never beat this game as a kid!
I couldn't get past the surfing level.
What kind of Shin Megami Tensei is this?
FFS! GRIND! It's like no one knows you can grind in this game. All these play throughs i've checked.. no one is grinding the top rails and barrels. noobs. You and everyone else,..no grinding.. WTF…it was the best part. We'd skate all day, go to each other's houses at the end and pound out some skate or die and T&C…. This was the Tony Hawk Pro Skater of late 80's-early 90's …….. skateboarding revival FTW. The birth of street. The surfing was whatever.. just stay top right and avoid the birds.
one of the very very few I played in the 80s
Epic hang ten the s***
No rail slides? Bullshit those were one of the fun things to do
