SURFING
Follow these tips and you'll be surfing in no time!
GAINING SPEED
•
Slaloming on the wave makes you gain speed! If you leave the wave, you'll go slower.
TRICKS
•
To perform tricks, jump off the wave or a ramp and gain points and energy.
•
Make sure you finish your trick before landing - otherwise, you'll lose all your points.
FREESTYLE TRICKS
•
Freestyle tricks are launched with the right analog stick, giving you full control of your surfer's rotation.
GRINDS AND FLOATERS
•
To grind, land on a specific object such as a grind rail or trees. Once you start grinding, you have to keep your balance using the left analog stick. Keep your eyes on the balance meter!
•
To perform a floater, hold the L1 button near the wave's lip.
SPEED BOOST
•
Use energy from the energy bar to launch the speed boost by pushing and holding the R1 button. If your energy bar is full, the speed boost will last longer.
•
Use the speed boost to break objects and bump other surfers to gain extra points!
STOKE MODE
•
When your energy bar is full, you can also enter Stoke mode by pressing the button to perform stoke tricks.

Stoke tricks have greater air time and faster execution and provide additional points.
COMPLETING OBJECTIVES
•
Each surfing spot has unique objectives. Completing them lets you progress in the championship. They may also give you rewards!
