Each course has a large wave on either the left or right side of the screen that follows the player throughout, allowing the surfer to ride up and perform a trick as well as to garner speed for certain obstacles and ramps Back in the US, Brassel and others congratulate Jack as he leaves for his honeymoon with Kate.
