Map Description

The lap starts with a boost bad launching players up a ramp onto an island. Next, players can take a sharp left turn through a line of item boxes, take a longer left turn (also with items), or take a shortcut to the right, missing items. Next, players drive around an elevated bit of terrain, then can take a sharp U turn or an optional coin path.

Then, players boost off a second ramp, this time onto a dock. Players take 5 sharp turns through the dock, and end back on beach of another island. Next, players can go straight and take a left turn or take a second coin path. Past the left turn, players drive through another line of item boxes and through a third ramp.

Past the ramp, players take sharp right and left turns, then have the choice to take a sharp right turn or go left for a coin path. Next is a wide open area with beach loungers as obstacles followed by a left turn into another line of item boxes. Finally, players take left and right turns, then take one last right turn to reach the finish line.

Trivia

• This map uses the same map as Sunrise Isles.
• When this map entered development, it was designed as a second track for Sunrise Isles, when each map had two tracks. The decision was made to separate each track into its own map in update 0.15.0.0, which is when it became Riptide Retreat.
