Catchin' Waves

Hey Penguins!

There's a new game in Club Penguin... Catchin' Waves! Go to the Cove, and you'll see the surf shack... that's the game!

When you first start, you'll see two choices: Freestyle and Competition. Freestyle is good for beginners, but I prefer Competition. Competition also tends to get you more coins, because you're being judged, and the more you impress the judges, the better you do.

The basics are that you use your mouse to steer. So, if you move your mouse up and down, the surfing penguin will follow it. Move your mouse to the right to speed up, and to the left to slow down.

To jump, move your mouse up over the wave. The penguin, of course, will jump in the air above the wave!! To do a flip, simply move your mouse in a small, fast circle... but keep it above the wave.

To steady yourself when coming back down into the wave after a jump, hold down the left button on your mouse. (This is commonly referred to as the grind)

If you begin to lose balance, slow down, or better yet, move your mouse behind your penguin.

Here are the tricks you can perform:

~Shooting the tube- get close to the wave, but not too close, or you'll crash
~Spin moves- press either W, A, S, D (or if you don't want to use those keys then use the arrow keys) while in midair
~Ice Breaker- A+W or left+up
~Coastal kick- A+D or left+right
~Lazy Wave- W+S or up+down
~Blender- D+S or right+down
~Backstand- A+S or left+down
~Surf Fever- W+D or up+right

And that's pretty much it! Have fun surfing! And, for more of a treat, bring your red puffle on a walk when you go to play Catchin' Waves. This is the first game that your puffle can play with you!
