A good recommendation on how to clear corners quickly and reduce your time maneuvering around them is to use the boost before entering the corner, then drift around the corner, and use boost again.
However, you need at least one boost before you can do this effectively. The second boost can be obtained after drifting around the corner.
You need to collect as many power cells as you can to fuel your boost meter and give yourself a burst of speed through the straight line or after exiting corners.
Going past yellow speed sensors can also give you an additional boost for a limited time. However, you need to avoid the dark purple sensors as they will slow you down.

Obtaining fuel stars makes you invulnerable to dark purple sensors that can slow you down and other obstacles that can make you lose time.
However, the fuel stars might be placed in a difficult spot within the challenge area, like near obstacles. If so, we recommend obtaining the fuel cells or avoiding the obstacles rather than getting the fuel star.

When using the Midsummer Breeze surfboard, be sure to pick up the Puller Magnets, as they allow you to automatically collect Fuel Tanks and nearby items within a wide range, making your race much more efficient.
Here is a list of all the surfboards that can be used in the Blazing Waves minigame:
| Surfboard | Details |
|---|---|
Gentleman of the Waves |
How to Unlock: Unlocks immediately at the start Stats: Top Speed (km/h): 183 Cruise Speed (km/h): 97 Description: The top choice for surf beginners with its more precise control. Ride it for a dance on the entire ocean, amidst the enthralling waves. |
Seafall Comet |
How to Unlock: Complete Dancing on the Waves Stats: Top Speed (km/h): 198 Cruise Speed (km/h): 104 Description: Built for higher speeds with its built-in power recovery capabilities. Cleave the vast ocean into half, like a comet falling from on high! |

As you progress and unlock new stages, Proxies will acquire new surfboards, and each offers unique buffs. Choosing the right surfboard for each stage can help you clear the stage’s layout and finish the race before the time limit.

While racing on the waves, press and hold the drift button when turning to drift, as this move charges your power gauge, and also triggers a power boost, which gives you a short speed boost.
