Big Wave Beach Guide
Big Wave Beach is the Melemele end of Mantine Surf, and the Normal Course starts here. Gentlest of the four, which makes it the sensible place to learn the tricks.
Take the number one score on all four courses first. The Surf Association boss at the Heahea City branch then hands over a level 40 Pikachu. It holds a Gold Bottle Cap and knows Nuzzle, Discharge, Slam and Surf.
