The garage

Upgrades you feel on the very next wave. Spend the coins from every run on five lanes and watch the boat change under you.

Stock against upgraded

Each boat runs the same wave twice, stock and fully upgraded: the Jet Ski in the Caribbean, the Speedboat on the Nile and the Rescue RIB on the Pacific. Watch on YouTube

Five lanes, every boat

All boats tune along the same five lanes, each with 20 levels. Each card shows what the next level actually does.

Engine

Go

More power. You climb the back of a wave faster and reach the crest with more speed.

Hull

Hull

Less drag through the water, and the boat leans further before it goes over.

Propeller

Bite

More grip, and the push comes back sooner when the prop bites again after a landing.

Trim

Angle

More control over the boat's angle, so lining up a landing gets easier.

Fuel

Range

A bigger tank. Fuel cans drift further apart the longer you go, so range is how far a run can reach.

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.

What a full upgrade buys

The garage meters for each boat, from 1 to 10. The first number is the boat as it leaves the garage, the second is the same hull with every lane maxed.

Coins come from pickups, distance and every stunt you land, plus daily missions and the login streak. Each level costs more than the last, so the first few come quickly and the last few are a real goal. Meet the boats
