How to play Wave Surfer
- Hold to carve up the wave face, release to drop. Dropping down the face builds speed — pump up and down to go faster.
- Hit the lip with speed to launch. Hold in the air to flip, let go to straighten, and land upright for big points.
- The breaking curl chases you — if it catches you, the run ends. Rocks, buoys, surfers, sharks, gulls and, further out, whirlpools, jet-skis, diving pelicans and the Kraken cost a board.
- Ride just ahead of the curl for a BARREL bonus. Grab coins, pearls, shields, turbo, magnets and stars; upgrade Spare Board, Pro Fins and Grip Wax.
