Salt hangs in the air waves roll in and every decision feels like a critical take off. In this competitive surfing game you and your rivals chase the perfect set balancing raw power smart timing and hard earned respect. Victory is not just about catching waves but about reading the break managing risk and knowing when to push and when to hold back.
Three incoming waves are always visible. All players simultaneously choose an energy card and reveal it. The highest energy wins the wave but ties result in a wipeout handing victory to the next highest card. Respect acts as the tiebreaker and becomes a powerful resource that can be earned or spent to gain extra energy and surfboard bonus cards from the beach.
Winning a wave comes at a cost. The energy card used is removed from the game permanently weakening your remaining strength. Players who place second or lower discard their cards but may recover them later creating a fascinating balance where coming second can be strategically valuable. Every round forces a choice between immediate glory and long term flexibility.
The ocean adds its own danger. Bluebottle jellyfish drift into the breakzone and punish careless low energy plays. Sometimes it is wiser to take the sting and preserve a crucial card for a future wave. Risk courage and timing are tightly intertwined.
The game ends when all bluebottles have been resolved or when any player is left with only their zero energy card. Final scoring combines waves caught matching surfboards bluebottle stings and three unique end game goals. Fast tactical and full of tension this game captures the rhythm and uncertainty of real surf competition.
Read the waves manage your energy and prove you have what it takes to ride to victory.
