About the game
Wave Rider is an endless side-view surf run with one button. Hold to pump down the face of the swell and build speed, then let go as the water rises to launch into the air. While you are airborne, hold again to spin: half spins, 360s and bigger rotations all score, as long as you land with the board flat on the water. Land crooked and you wipe out.
All the while the wave is curling over behind you, and it gets faster the longer you ride. The curl meter shows how much of a gap you have left. Riding close to it, inside the barrel, doubles your trick points, but one wipeout can let it swallow you.
