The Wireless Controller Surf Wave is a wireless controller manufactured by Sega Logistics Service for the Playstation 2.

The predecessor of the Surf Wave. the AirStyle, was released by the design company FounTech (a label under ArcadeMX), which was responsible for the R&D and patents behind the electronics inside the controller. After several models released independently by FounTech, SEGA licensed a newer and updated version, the Surf Wave. It has long been discontinued.

The controller was demonstrated in Tokyo Game Show 2005 and released in three colours: black, white and blue.
