Surfers
When you first begin the game, you'll be asked to select a surfer, as well as the board he or she will be riding. Press left and right on the controller to cycle through the available choices, then press the jump button to pick that surfer. You'll then be given a small selection of surfboards, each with their own strengths and shortcomings. Highlight one of the boards with the controller and press the jump button to grab it.
Training
You'll then be taken to the stage select screen. When you first begin the game, you'll have to complete a set of training stages in a wave pool before you can advance to the more exciting outdoor locations. Move the controller up and down to highlight the stage you'd like to play, then press the jump button to take your surfboard to that location. When you arrive at the stage, you'll be lying down on your board, floating in the center of a body of water.
Controls
Once you begin a stage, you'll notice that the water behind you is slowly rising into a wave. Press left on the controller to gently guide yourself toward the wave, then press the floater button to stand up before you reach the top of the wave. Once you're standing, press left and right to keep yourself between the crest of the wave and the still water to your right. Steer too close to either one and you're sure to take a tumble off your board and into the ocean!
Tricks
Now that you've got the hang of riding the board, it's time to really show your stuff! Steer toward the crest of the wave and press the jump button to launch yourself into the sky. While on the water, you can also carve, or make a sharp turn, by holding either left or right on the controller, then pressing the carve button. You can also perform a grab turn by holding down the grab button, then pressing left or right on the controller.
Complex Tricks
It's time for some real fun! Use the jump button to leap over the wave, then press any direction on the controller along with the grab or carve buttons to bust out some gravity-defying air tricks. Once you've tried a few of these, why not go for the gold with some face tricks? Once you're in the air, double tap the grab, floater, or carve buttons. You can perform even more incredible moves by first tapping any one of these buttons, then a different one.
Career Mode
In career mode, each stage has a time limit, along with a series of goals. Complete the first of these goals within the time limit and you'll be allowed to move on to a new stage with more challenging goals. If you can't finish the goal in the time you're given, don't sweat it! You can try again as often as you like until victory is yours. The game continues until you either quit or have proven your surfing superiority by conquering every stage.
Getting Started
When you begin the game, you'll be presented with three options: Start Career, Load/Save Career, and Quit Game. Press the controller up and down to highlight the desired option and press the jump button to select it. If you're new to the game, you'll want to choose Start Career. Otherwise, select Load/Save Career to resume a previously saved game. Choose Quit Game if you're ready to hang up your board for the day.
Tip: Push it to the Limit
Sure, you only have to complete the first goal in a stage to move on to the next one, but why stop there? New characters, boards, and more are yours for the taking if you finish all the other objectives.
Tip: Totally Tubular
If you lag behind and get caught inside the wave's cavernous tube, don't give up hope! Just press the controller left and right to keep your balance. You'll earn a huge point bonus if you can keep your feet on that surfboard while trapped in the tube.
