Surf's Up! New Levels in Catchin' Waves

Hey Penguins!

I'm sorry that I can't post pictures in this post, so please forgive me! Anyways, We've got some good news if you're into surfing at the Cove.

There are 2 new levels in the game, Surf Lesson... aimed for beginners who need help getting started, and Survival mode-- for better players.

In the Surf Lesson, it's very basic. An arrow like the one you control with your mouse will move around. You follow it with your mouse, and if you do so correctly, you can learn to perform simple jumps and make your penguin move.

Once you become a master, or at least want a challenge, take on Survival mode. In this game, it starts to storm and the wave becomes fierce and strong. You have to be extra careful, because along with that, chunks of the iceberg will come flying out of nowhere, that you must dodge!

Good luck playing the game!

Summer Kick-off Party and a Surfing Pin!

Hey Penguins!

Summer has just begun, and so has a party on Club Penguin in honor of the sunny season. Plus, you can do special dances with both of the free items!

The first free item is the lei! It's good to celebrate swimming, surfing, ice cream, and those Popsicle's that always melt all over you. (Yuck) No wonder it's a free item in this party! Anyways, we better get down to business. To get it, go to the Ski Village, and right in front of the Sports Shop is none other than the blue lei. If you dance with it and only it on, you can hula!

Next up is the ice cream apron. If you're a nonmember, you've probably stared in awe at the pizza aprons and the coffee aprons... giving your penguin the ability to serve up delicious treats. Well, if you go to the forest, where there is a big ice cream stand, you'll see a bunch of blue aprons in a box. Walk over to that box to get the apron, and dance to serve ice cream!

The pin is the next big thing. Some may say it's hard to find. Some may say it was easy. Some may say, "What is a secret pin??" Well, here's the location of the pin!

As usual, the pin will fall out of the leaves and land on the floor of the room.

But don't think that's all the party has to offer. It's the best stuff, but there's more!

~You can "serve" ice cream at the cove with your ice cream apron!
~You can watch the Penguin Band or join them with an instrument of your own- on the beach
~You can explore Club Penguin's largest sand castle at the dock- explore all of its nooks and crannies!
~Do "stuff" to the octopus in the dojo- one word. Espionage.
~Play volleyball on the iceberg- except, of course, you can't pick up the ball...

But don't think that's the end. There's one last thing you need to see. It's from the newspaper:

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!
