The Wave Rider skipper launches a red inflatable off a breaking wave

Every wave is a ramp

Out now iPhone · iPad · Android Free to play

This is the game.

Real gameplay, straight from the Nile to the Pacific.

Now you try

The sea never stops moving

Every wave is built on the fly and keeps rolling even when you sit still. Your boat floats on it, tilts with it and gets thrown by it. Hold AHEAD and go.

Hold AHEAD

Boat
Sea
  1. Climb Hold → AHEAD to build speed up the back of a wave.
  2. Launch Keep it pinned over the crest and the sea throws you into the air.
  3. Land it In the air → lifts the nose and ← drops it. Match the water's angle as you touch down.

A toy, built in your browser from the game's own art. In the game, every hull floats on real buoyancy and the sea gets much bigger.

The real sea is bigger

That was the toy. These are straight out of a run: the swell, the stunts, the locals and the garage you come back to.

Land it and it pays.

Get it wrong and you're swimming.

Big air pays. Flips pay more.

Every stunt pays out in coins, and coins buy upgrades. Riding with style is how you get rich.

Airborne
Air time pays by the second. Fly higher and the tier climbs to Sent and Orbit, up to ×2.5.
Flip +200
Front or back, same pay. Chain another before you land and it doubles.
Perfect landing
Touch down with the hull matched to the water. The right angle moves with the wave.
Wave hop ×3
Clear a whole trough in one flight. Land and launch again fast and the streak multiplies.
Clean clear
Slip past rocks and reefs without a scrape. The closer the shave, the bigger the pay.
The big one +300
Now and then a rogue wave rolls in. Come out the far side upright.
Wipeout
Land at the wrong angle and you bury the bow and send the skipper flying. Retry puts you back on the water in a second.

Pick your hull

Each boat answers to the same water in its own way, so the hull you mastered yesterday can be a handful today.

  • Motor Dinghy: a red inflatable with a small outboard

    Motor Dinghy

    The starter Free

    The lightest hull on the water, and still the best thing on the Calm Lake.

  • Speedboat: a yellow racing hull with orange flames

    Speedboat

    All-rounder 2nd unlock

    Good on every sea and best on none. Every other boat is measured against it.

  • Jet Ski: yellow and blue, with an orange saddle

    Jet Ski

    Trick machine 3rd unlock

    Spins faster in the air than anything else, with the least stability of any boat.

  • Rescue RIB: a yellow rigid inflatable with a light bar

    Rescue RIB

    Survivor 4th unlock

    The inflatable collar soaks up ugly landings. It leans further before it goes over.

  • More on the way

    New boats arrive with updates. Some of them are a lot bigger.

Each sea plays by its own rules

Each one has its own waves, its own water and one rule it's named for. Bank coins on the water and buy your way into the next.

Explore every sea
The Calm Lake: turquoise water under alpine forest Sorry! Start here

Calm Lake

Slow rollers on a bright alpine lake. Hop the red buoys, launch off the swim platform, and steer clear of the big mooring buoy. The paddleboarder really should get out of the way.

Free. Every run starts here.

The Pacific: deep blue swell, islands and a big sky Whale hop Sets

Pacific

The big waves arrive in groups.

The real game. Long rolling swell, huge launches and landings that matter. When a whale surfaces, ride its back.

Opens for 75,000 coins.

The Nile: desert escarpment and palms over green water Hey! Shallows

Nile

Sandbanks ground a deep hull.

A gentle current pushes back, a hot wind builds over the dunes, and a hippo surfaces right under your hull.

Opens for 30,000 coins.

Loch Ness: dark water under a grey haar Nessie hop Fog

Loch Ness

Shoals stay hidden until you're close.

Cold, dark water and a fog that eats the horizon. Catch one of Nessie's humps while it's up.

Opens for 50,000 coins.

The Caribbean: bright turquoise water and low green cays Oi! Trade wind

Caribbean

Current and wind both carry you.

Crystal water that floats you a little higher. Mantas leap out ahead and leave a trail of coins, and the rental jet ski never looks where it's going.

Opens for 120,000 coins.

More seas on the way

New water arrives with updates, and each sea changes how the boat handles.

Upgrades you can feel

Every boat tunes along the same five lanes, and you feel each level on the very next wave. Each card shows what it does. You have 75,000 coins: spend them.

The lanes rename themselves to fit the boat: the dinghy tunes its Outboard and the jet ski its Impeller. Sprint hulls skip the fuel lane altogether, because on a boat that fast more engine is the better way to go further.

Something to chase every day

There's always one more thing a run can finish.

  • Daily missions

    Nine a day, three at a time, with a chest at three and another at nine. Targets grow with your own best runs, so none is out of reach.

  • Badge book

    Badges for your career, every sea and every boat, plus a page of secrets you'll mostly find by accident.

  • Captain rank

    Badges move you up, from Deckhand to Sea Legend. Leaderboards for best distance, longest air, most flips and total distance.

Seven-day streak

Ride every day and the reward climbs from 500 coins to 6,000 on day seven. Miss a day and it starts over.
