During the Atlantis Attacks annual event, Namorita – the cousin of former ruler of Atlantis, Namor, found herself being attacked by a group of Deviants and Lemurians all in search for the same thing – The Horn of Proteus.

Eel, Sharkskin and Undertow, recognizing Namorita as the cousin of Namor – came to her rescue, because they’d been displaced by Attuma who did not seem them fit to be considered “Atlanteans” – so the trio had hoped to dispose of Attuma and see the much kinder Namor back on the throne.

Due to a mix up, Namorita leads the trio against the New Mutants briefly, before realizing her error – and they team up with the New Mutants (and this is when the Eel, Sharkskin and Undertow adopt the name of “Surf” as their “team name”).

Together, they return to Atlantis and help destroy the sea creature Ghaur had summoned by blowing the Horn of Proteus – and defeat Ghaur as well.

The members of Surf would re-appear, this time without Namorita, to attack an amusement park called Marine World (clearly a reference to Sea World), where they had wanted to free killer whales that had been held in captivity. The West Coast Avengers appear and the two teams tangle; until the members of Surf are convinced that the humans mean the killer whale no harm, and that they were for educational purposes not “amusement.” While the members of Surf agree to depart, they are disgusted and displeased at the idea, that these killer whales must perform tricks for food, which is clearly for entertainment of the humans.
