}}'''Catchin' Waves''' is a surfing mini game played from a shack at the [[Cove]]. In this game, the player moves the cursor up and down to steer a [[penguin]] surfing along a wave. There are four game modes, Freestyle, Survival, Surf Lesson and Competition. On Freestyle mode, it is a normal surfing mode. On survival mode, you must surf through rough seas and avoid icebergs. On Surf Lesson, it is a short surf with tips on how to surf, and finally, in competition mode there are three judges who want a certain trick or move. You must do these as many times as possible to get a high score from the judges. There are several advanced moves and tricks that you can do in mid-air, or on the water. Some of these include the "Ice Breaker" and the "Lazy Wave".

Then your [[puffle]] will get you the maximum 3 points. Note that this secret will not work in the last game mode, Survival, because your puffle is too afraid to come with the player.

*You can earn much more [[coins]] in this secret if you are real good at Catchin' Waves. First play the 3rd level, Competition. Then win the first game. It doesn't matter on you points and the score you earn from the Judges. Then click on 'Continue' when it comes out on the top of your screen. Then keep on doing this until you lose the game. Then you get your coins. If you survive very long and doing tricks all the while, you might go to the High Scores.
*If you are playing the 1st, 2nd or 4th level, which are Freestyle, Survival and Surf Lesson (respectively), wait until the end when the water is going down and then lose balance and fall (if you have still 1 - 3 boards left). Then you will go back a little and you won't lose any points. Do this until you don't have any more boards.  
*If you are playing the 1st, 2nd or 4th level, which are the Freestyle, Survival and Surf Lesson. Then always at the last part when the water is going down, try as hard as you can to lose balance and fall (if you have still 1 - 3 boards left). Then you will go back a little and you won't lose any points. Then do this until you don't have any more boards they will say on top (do not do this if they show you no sticks under boards) if you have any more. Then you do not lose your balance and just let your [[penguin]] go to the end.
