Just read of this. Source

Wailmer, as we all know, has a special surf sprite. If you let it evolve while you are surfing on it, your game crashes and both screens go black.

I haven't experienced this myself, so I can't confirm it, but just thought I'd make everyone aware of this bug. This may also affect Carvanah evolving to Sharpedo whilst surfing, again I have no idea.
 
Hm. You'd think they'd think to test that. Either way, there'll be a patch for it soon no doubt. Gamefreak have absolutely ridiculous patch turnarounds (a benefit of having your publisher also be your largest shareholder).
 
I tried to replicate the glitch near Mossdeep using a Wailmer and a Carvanah(also tested near Lilycove with Carvanah), and neither evolution caused the game to crash. Maybe it only works under certain conditions or the version 1.1 patch fixed the glitch. I'll try it again over the weekend when I get the new patch (version 1.2) but my game seems mostly fine so far. In fact, the Wailmer model transforms into a regular surfing model after the evolution. The Carvanah seemed to stick with the same model though; I had to reuse surf in order to get the Sharpedo to come out. I've only tested the Wailmer with Rare Candies though, so that might be the problem.
