Gottlieb EM Recreation FP Surfer (Gottlieb, 1976) v5.0

A surfer chick rides a wave while a jet plane descends toward an island. Beside her, a surf-nerd wipes out, surfboard into the air. He must have been distracted by the plane...or the surfer chick (who, incidentally, seems to have HORRIBLE form on her board -- she'd be tossed from the board instantly riding like that....). Main colours are cyan, blue and yellow.

This is the 2 player version of Gottlieb's Surf Champ.

1 bank of 5 drop targets.
1 spinner, center stage.
9 wire rollovers
5 star rollovers which increase the value of the eject hole
