In this challenge, each team will have to ride together on the same wave -- think about it as synchronised surfing. This isn't one where you want to ride your favorite board, because boards and bodies are liable for some bangs and bruises.
This is about sharing a wave with the most style and flair. Before they surf, each team has a chance to choreograph their ride. It's all about planning -- going out and winging it would be a one-way ticket to the ding repair shop, or worse.
Crossover surfing not only tests the teams surf ability, it also puts a lot of pressure on their communication skills; if the vibes aren't right, a shared wave isn't going to look that good.
A crossover is a tried and tested part of surfing. What's better than the ultimate rush of riding a wave? Sharing that feeling with a friend.
