While logic may suggest that you should go for the fastest and best surfboard available, you may also consider choosing a slower board if you’re looking to collect more coins and remain on the tube for a longer period of time. We suggest working on figure-eight patterns and riding through seaweed, as this would let you take it nice and slow as you gather those coins.
They may seem relatively harmless in real life, but in Surfy, your surfer should always avoid the attacks of flying fish. All you need to do here is ride low on the wave, though you’ll also need to be wary of the possibility of hitting rocks.
While flying fish are best avoided, golden marlins are something you’d definitely want to catch. This is where playing with the sound on works to one’s advantage, as those chirping sounds are a sign that a golden marlin may be approaching, and a sign that you should act quickly to catch one.
Your power-ups would come in handy here, as they could help you ram the helicopter while it’s still on your display. Once you’ve gotten three direct hits on it, that should take care of the chopper.
When you see this happening, that means the waves are churning and a wipeout may be coming your way. In order to stay on your board and avoid wiping out, use your boosts once you notice that shaking in your screen.
Do this at the same time and your surfer could get more spins and more hangtime when making jumps.
If you want to pull off a trick that will earn you a whole lot of points, do a reversal – when jumping, spin clockwise, then counter-clockwise in the same jump. The Leap of Faith is another far-out trick that will get you a lot of points; after getting significantly ahead of the wave, jump backwards. It doesn’t have to be right or left, just as long as it’s a substantial one.
It’s only a game and you certainly won’t see any surfing pros doing such a thing in our lifetimes. But if you’re looking to jump to outer space, time your boost while you’re making your way on a speed ramp; this should allow you to jump as high as Saturn, or even beyond that.
