Where Can You Surf?

Currently, there’s only one surfable location: Bliss Bay. Started your game in another city? Too bad—surfing is off the table since Zoi can’t travel between towns yet. Your options: either start a new save or accept the loss. If you’re in the right place, head to the beach and look for any unclaimed board. Don’t worry—taking it won’t count as theft (unless you try to haul it home).

How to Start Surfing?

🌴 Surfing in inZOI isn’t easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding. Here’s how to get started:

🏄‍♂️ Reach Fitness Level 3: Without this, your Zoi can only pretend to surf. Proper wave-riding unlocks at Level 3, so hit the gym or go for a run!

🏄‍♂️ Find a Working Board at Bliss Bay: Any unclaimed board near the water will do. The ones too far from the shore? Just decor.

🏄‍♂️ Check the Time: Unofficially, surfing might be unavailable at night or early morning (before 9:00 AM). If the board won’t cooperate, try returning later.

Quirks Limitations

Before diving into the waves, beware of these gameplay realities:

❗️ Bugs Galore: Even with max fitness, a board, and perfect timing, surfing might just… not work. Sometimes your Zoi ignores the board; other times, the interaction prompt vanishes. Fixes? Reload the area or practice patience.

⛈ Weather Effects (Unconfirmed): While weather exists in-game, its impact on surfing is unclear. If your Zoi refuses to board during a storm, though, you’re not alone.

Surfing in inZOI isn’t just a minigame—it’s a way to deepen your connection to the world and make your Zoi feel alive. Yes, the mechanics are rough around the edges, but if you meet all the conditions, that first wave will outweigh any frustration. Developers clearly have more in store, so consider this just the beginning. For now? Ride the wave, and don’t forget to save!
