Blooper Surfing Safari (Ricco Harbor)

The trick to getting under ~33 seconds is to use the shortcut. The "shortcut" is obvious - jump up and over the bank after the first section with the orange cones. However, around half-way through the lap is an invisible checkpoint that you must pass in order for the lap to count. This checkpoint is a line across the water on the back-turn of the U-bend, which is, unfortunately, a little bit out of your way. The idea is to pass the checkpoint and swerve around towards the bank again. If you ride across the cement of the bank, you'll and two turns shy of the finish line.

  • Use the green blooper, as it has the highest off-road speed. Note that all bloopers have the same top speed while on the water if you hold forward on the joystick, so the green is optimal in all regards.
  • To cross the checkpoint in the most efficient manner, do a tiny hop onto the small ledge after the cones section (it's to your right), hug the wall, and turn sharply left as you're about to fall back into the water. Then bee-line it for the shortcut. Clipping the shore slows you down, so be careful to not be too greedy on the final two bends after you drop back into the water.
