"I Did It!"
Place 1st in any event.
Easy enough!


"Mechanic"

Purchase any upgrade from the four categories below to unlock this achievement.

Change the color of any portion of your hydrojet(s). Painting is free of charge so you can earn this one right away if you wanted to. You can find the painting option in your garage next to your upgrade menu.

"Stunt Novice", "Stunt Expert" & "Stunt Master"
Get (1000, 1500, 2,000) points in a Freestyle event.
You can start doing Freestyle events starting on the third bracket "Regional Champs" (1st event). It is possible to earn both the 1,000 and 1,500 point achievements on this one if you hit all the ramps succesfully. I highly recommend using your skill points for the added boost and completing tricks early categories; it'll make it much easier. I was able to earn both with the Striker with a few upgrades:
The third one for 2,000 points you'll have to earn on later Freestyle events. The "Freestyle Finale" requires 2,000 points to finish in 1st place, so you'll unlock this while going for the "Tricky Racer" achievement. Remember that the harder the stunt, the more points it is worth. Repeating the same stunt will earn you less points each time so mix it up. The points are broken down as follows:

  • Level 1 tricks = 100 points
  • Level 2 tricks = 200 points
  • Level 5 tricks = 250 points
  • Level 10 tricks = 400 points


"Destructive Tendencies"
Smash a bridge in the Factory Shift event.
On the last event of the first bracket "Beginner's Luck" you need to smash the bridge during the race "Factory Shift". You can use any Hydrojet for this one. Shortly after you start, you'll come to a straightaway with several waterfalls. Once you bank to the left, you'll encounter a ramp with a bridge crossing about the same level. You need to destory it. Once you hit the ramp, slam the brakes and drop into it. Sometimes it breaks, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes the AI will break it before you so try to be the first to it.


"Tricked Out"
Upgrade a Hydrojet fully.
No explanation needed, right?


"Flying High"
Jump over 200 meters.
This is easiest achieved during the 6th bracket in the "Big Fish" Freestyle event. There will be a large ramp near the end of the track, make sure to use your boost beforehand to gain enough speed/air.


"Freeky Stylie"
Unlock a level 10 Stunt.
Once you reach level 10, buy any stunt skill from that skill tree. In doing so, you'll unlock this achievement.


"Seasoned Vet"
Reach level 20.
You'll earn this achievement through natural progression.


"Still Counts"
Win a race without the rider.
You can do this one on the very first race. At the end of lap 2/2, you'll have a ramp right before the finish line. Hit the ramp and about midway through perform an intentionally late stunt. When your rider hits the water, they'll fall off, typically catapulting them over the finish line with the Hydrojet, winning the race. It sounds harder than it really is...

Get (1, 2, 3) stars in all Career events.
You'll need to come in 3rd, 2nd or 1st in every event in career mode to unlock these respective achievements.


"It's a Secret"
Find the hidden easter egg.
This is found under the "VR Challenge" mode. Select "Harbor Master" as the stage. Once you start, right after the first ramp, bank left of the boat on your left-hand side. Turn right and stay on the left of the island. You'll spot a floating easter egg that you'll need to collect. You'll have to time your jump with the waves in order to get enough air to grab it, but once you do the achievement will unlock.
Online Achievements
With the game not being very popular at launch and, like all games over time, the online community is all but dead. Occasionally you'll find people online, but it's rare. In the case of games like this, you'll have to coordinate with a group of friends in order to unluck these, which can be difficult. Regardless, the online achievements are as follows:

"Socialite"
Play an Online match.
Simply play an online match and finish in any position.


"Small Fish"
Win an Online match.
Come in 1st place on any online match.


"By A Nose"
Win an Online race event by less than a tenth of a second.
This can be difficult, not only because of the non-existent online community but because you must win by less than 0.10 seconds (0.01 - 0.09). The easiest way I found to get this done is to link up with some friend(s) and have everyone line up right before the finish line on the final lap. The decided winner will accelerate marginally before the rest and cross the finish line first; everyone should be using the same watercraft (with identical upgrades) to ensure identical acceleration.

*Note* - Use a controller for this! The game auto-accelerates by default, but can only be turned off if you use the controller. Using a keybaord and mouse makes this extremely difficult because you have to rock the reverse key back and forth due to the inability to turn off the auto-acceleration.


"So Close!"
Lose an Online race event by less than a tenth of a second.
This can be difficult, not only because of the non-existent online community but because you must lose by less than 0.10 seconds (0.01 - 0.09). The easiest way I found to get this done is to link up with some friend(s) and have everyone line up right before the finish line on the final lap. The decided loser (2nd place) will accelerate marginally after the decided winner and cross the finish line 2nd; everyone should be using the same watercraft (with identical upgrades) to ensure identical acceleration.

*Note* - Use a controller for this! The game auto-accelerates by default, but can only be turned off if you use the controller. Using a keybaord and mouse makes this extremely difficult because you have to rock the reverse key back and forth due to the inability to turn off the auto-acceleration.


"Big Fish"
Win 50 Online matches.
Exactly as it says - win 50 online matches to unlock this achievement. Due to the non-existent online community, you'll probably have to recruit friends to unlock this achievement.


"Predator"
Win 100 Online matches.
Exactly as it says - win 100 online matches to unlock this achievement. Due to the non-existent online community, you'll probably have to recruit friends to unlock this achievement.
