The Surfer Beater is the rusted, run-down version of the BF Surfer, free to find in traffic rather than bought. Its tier K rating matches the standard Surfer, and it seats only 2, fewer than its cleaner sibling. Tested flat out it reaches 67.25 mph, the same as the standard Surfer, and laps the benchmark circuit in 1:48.692, only a fraction slower. Rear-wheel drive and a mass of 2500 carry over from the regular Surfer, and the drop to 2 seats along with the worn paint and rust are the main visual differences between the two. It has been in traffic since the base game launch on September 17, 2013. It is not sold anywhere, so finding one in traffic and driving it into a garage is the only way to keep it. It is stored in any garage from there, with Los Santos Customs covering any upgrades.
