Comparing GoTo Surfing with True Surfing?

One thing that surprise me is that even if everything else is the same, GoTo movement typically scores worse than True Surfing. Does anyone reproduced this discover? Or I must made something wrong somewhere, which feels really bad.

    Again, when a True Surfer adds second wave surfing, the score increases a lot. When a GoTo Surfing adds second wave surfing, the score decreased a lot. Is this phenomenon common? Or is that just because adding another wave exploits some hidden bug in my code?

      It might be causing you to skip turns. Goto surfing does a lot more calculations in a single tick.

      Otherwise I would say it is a bug, maybe with the starting conditions of your second wave surfing. Most difficult to get right for me was aligning the time I switch to surfing second wave with when I actually stop surfing the first wave in my real movement.
