Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer

When you land perfect, you'll get a big boost to your Special Meter. To land perfect, you must land in an angle opposite to the angle in which you launched off the wave.

If you land at an angle that is close to bailing, you'll land sloppy. This will decrease your Special Meter considerably.

Maxing your Special Meter and linking tricks will get the most points. Do face tricks to max out your Special Meter or land perfect from an air trick. Special tricks can net bigger scores, and linking tricks will really up the ante.

Every unique trick you do with the meter maxed adds more points. The bigger the trick, the more points you get.

Repeating tricks lowers their value and makes the special meter drop more quickly.

There are different sections of each wave. The closer to the break, the more points you will receive for any given trick. Stay close and tight to score big.

The longer the tube-ride, the more points you're going to get.

Spins in the air add points. However, only a complete rotation will get the credit.

To cash in your combo press the R3 button. This can be very handy in multiplayer Push™ Mode to reclaim screen space.
