The wave is breaking behind you, and a shark is on your tail. Steer across the face with one finger, carve hard off the bottom, launch off the lip and shoot through the barrel before the foam or the shark catches you! Surfiesta is an endless surf runner on a real breaking wave. Every wave breaks its own way: stay in the pocket to keep your speed, time your turns and take to the air whenever you can. HOW TO PLAY • Drag left and right to ride up and down the wave, or tilt your phone. • Drop to the bottom and turn hard: bottom turns and snaps build your speed. • Hit the lip with speed to launch an aerial: swipe in the air to spin, tap to grab, tap again to backflip. • Tap to hop over paddling surfers, buoys, reefs and shark fins. • Ride the barrel: stay in the glowing band and hold your finger down for a hand drag; the barrel carries you faster. SHARK ESCAPE A shark lurks behind you. One stumble wakes it up; hit something again while it's chasing you and it's got you. Hop the fins, keep clear of the jellyfish and the leaping sharks, and get away on a jet-ski, with the dolphins or up in the sky on a parasail. FLOW AND COMBOS Mix up your moves to fill the FLOW meter. When it's full you speed up and every trick scores double. MORE WAYS TO SURF • Classic Surf: no shark, only the foam chasing you (opens at level 3). • Races: beat the ghosts of each beach's Local Legends and earn stars (opens at level 2). • Wave of the Day: a new wave with medals every day, daily missions, streak rewards and a Login Calendar (opens at level 5). • Weekly Leaderboard: your longest Shark Escape run of the week sets your rank; a new board every Monday. POWER-UPS AND UPGRADES Jet-ski, Dolphins, Magnet, Leash, Double Coins and Parasail Surf, where a speedboat lifts you into the sky on a parasail: glide left and right and grab the trail of coins. Upgrade each power-up up to level 5 to make it last longer. BEACHES Coral Bay, Dune Beach, Pipe Point, the Maldives and Santorini: every beach breaks differently. Atmospheres from sunrise to night, a pirate galleon, a lighthouse and pier bars along the coast. CHARACTERS AND BOARDS 10 characters, 9 of them with a skill (a penguin, a dino, an octopus, a crab, a sea turtle, an alien, robot Bolt with his costumes and the surfers), and 9 boards that ride differently: speed, turning, tube and spin. Board paints are never sold: they come from the Mystery Box. PROGRESS 30 levels with three goals and rewards each. Gift boxes are earned by playing (and with optional rewarded ads); they can't be bought, and the odds of what's inside are shown in the game. • Plays offline; no account or sign-in. • No in-app purchases. • Contains ads: rewarded ads are optional; an occasional ad may show between runs, and a banner under the results screen. • Available in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Indonesian, Malay and Filipino. ## Is Surfiesta safe?
