Car surf on a Comet while it explodes

How to unlock the Gnarly Wave achievement in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell - Definitive Guide

To surf a Comet car you need to stand on the roof and wait until you see the surf button pop up cn_Y. Now you need to balance as long as it takes for the comet to destroy itself.

Now the hard part is to get on one before it goes crazy and drives away. The easiest way i found is to walk into oncoming traffic and make the comet stop directly in front of you. Tap the jump button, but don't jump forward because the car will start driving most of the time and you will miss it.

How long does it take to actually explode? I surfed on the damn Comet for over 40 seconds for several times, and it refused to explode.

Ditto. This solution is missing critical information somewhere.

Just a warning, don't buy any of the upgrades that make the husks attack the demons. If you do they get out of the car a start punching the enemies. I am going to have to start a new game to get this.

This goes into my top 10 of most annoying achievements ever. The jump is way too high to get on it normally, they often step out to attack demons. You get fucking notoriety when you even partially step onto the vehicle. They often stop, ending the surfing. Scratch that, this is going in my top 5.

I hate this achievement so much... I've only been able to car surf twice. Both times I surfed for 16 seconds. No explosion.

Yeah, definitely unpredictable what's going to happen when you get on the car. I would reiterate the point made about trying to get this before getting the upgrade that makes husks fight for you. Made it much harder for me than it should have been...

This one is a bit tricky due to the fact that you never know what's going to happen. The AI is too random in this game. If your like me and dont have any luck with this, just follow the TA guides and dont stress, it will pop eventually.

After several tries I got lucky and the one I jumped on immediately caught fire and exploded before it could gain any real speed.

It's really unpredictable how long it takes until it explodes. I tried this out a lot and i also had a few times where it took forever and it just wouldn't explode. I think it comes down to how often the comet crashes and damages itself while you're on it.

Solo Method:
First, you will need to find a Comet which is a small white hatchback. To do so, I recommend running laps on the highway, or finding one in the streets, although it doesn't spawn very often. Once you do, stand in front of it to make it stop, then jump upwards and you should land on top of it. Once you land on top of it, it will begin to move and you will get a "Car surfing" prompt one your screen which you should accept. You will now need to balance your character as long as possible until the car hopefully explodes. There is no way to make this more likely, so there is a small luck factor in getting the car to explode.

Co-op Method:
Have two people run around the map together until they find a Comet. One of the players should quickly hijack it, and the other player will jump on the roof. Once this is set-up, the driver will begin to drive and the player on top will get a "Car surfing" prompt which they should accept. Once that happens, the driver should look for a small lava pit or damage the car by hitting things for it to explode. After this is successful, trade roles for both people to get it.

The Comet is a tiny white car that constantly explodes for no freaking reason at all.

You need to surf on top of comet until it explodes. Surfing is when you stand on a moving vehicle and press Y to enter a Tony Hawk style balancing system. You need to balance on the Comet until it explodes.

I found using a co-op partner and trading over driving/surfing makes the achievement loads easier.

It doesn't seem to explode on it's on own when a co-op player is surfing on the vehicle so I drove into the lava to force an explosion.

The only difficult thing about this achievement is distinguishing and finding the Comet, which is a car. The Comet is a small little white car. The car in this picture-

Anyway, in order to "surf" on the car you must stand on top of the car and press cn_Y to start surfing on it. Surfing is a little mini game that is very simple and involves having to balance your analog stick to the middle of the line on the screen. In just a few seconds of doing this, you should notice that the car will start smoking, Do NOT get off, you must be on it while it explodes. Live or die after this, you'll still unlock the achievement.

First clear your notoriety because one shot will ruin your surf. Now look for a Comet (not on fire) preferably at a stop light, stand about 10 feet in front of it and tap jump and slightly move in the direction of the car. The roof is very small, you know you are on the right spot when a prompt comes up to surf. Just keep your balance by moving the stick in the opposite way you are leaning until the car explodes.

I have a method of doing it solo without having to balance for over a minute while you wait for the car to ignite. (this method does involve a little patience though)

All you need to do is find a road that has lava dripping onto it, from their just twiddle your thumbs and wait for a comet to approach letting other cars pass you (dont block the road, as the lava will only drip into 1 lane their cant be anything blocking traffic ) and when the comet finally shows up just hop on and start surfing, the instant it drives through/under the lava it will explode without even having caught fire and achievement will pop.

I also have a very easy alternate Co-op method, Both of the players will stay together while the look for a comet that isnt on fire, when one spawns one of the players surfs the comet while the other hits it with a RPG, (the car does not have to catch fire you just need to be surfing that specific car when it explodes by any means)

The worst part about this is actually finding a Comet that you can hop on before it drives off. Best bet would be to wait at a stoplight/intersection while on the sidewalk. Should one get near you, you have a limited space to hop on it before it get spooked and drives off, igniting in flames almost immediately in doing so. Be careful hopping on the roof too, as this immediately increases your notoriety and will have armored trucks and demons shooting at you. Once the Comet starts driving away, it will ask you if you want to initiate the carsurfing diversion. You must remain on the hood of the car until it explodes, setting you on flames and ending the diversion.

I thought people may want to see a visual guide to this trophy so they know which car they are looking for and to see just how the car surfing actually works.

You may wish to try this out on some other cars to get the hang of it before going for the trophy.

What you have to do is jump on top of a car and you should get a prompt on the screen to press the triangle button to start car surfing. Once pressed it is basically a balancing game by using the left analogue stick to control your balance.

So once you have tried that out and got the hang of it you now need to find a comet car which as stated in the video is a 2 door car. So you can hang around an intersection and wait for one to pass and then jump on top and start car surfing and hopefully it will explode while doing so.

You don't have to do anything to initiate the explosion, it should just happen its self but not all of them seem to do this so it may take a few attempts before you get the trophy.

Here is the video for you to check it out, i hope this helps.

Good luck & happy gaming smile

Remember that dinky car you needed to drive into the Ultor lobby? You are gonna need to get on top of one that is not on fire and initiate car surfing by pressing  and then move the  side to side to stay on long enough for the car to initiate balls of fire and explode.

This trophy is earn for car surfing on a Comet, one of the small grey exploding cars, as it explodes. This can be mildly annoying to do as it is difficult to land precisely on top of one as they like to drive erratically, and they also have a tendency to throw you off before they explode. Once you are on top of the Comet though and it starts moving you will be prompted to press to start Car Surfing. Once surfing simply keep your balance as long as possible and hope that the Comet explodes before you get knocked off.

You can also do this trophy in co-op with a second player, if you have them get in a Comet and have you surf on top, it will still count for the trophy if it explodes while you are surfing on it, which may be slightly easier to pull off than dealing with the erratic AI.

The following video by Maka shows how you can do this solo, as well as in co op with another player.

We jump onto the Comet car. Press triangle for autosurfing. We balance until the car catches fire and explodes.

After reading these tips, I still didn’t understand until they explained it in person.
You need to climb onto the roof of a Comet car, which has a driver, and when it starts moving, you will be able to press To activate “autosurfing”, balance with the left stick until the car explodes.

This may be a coincidence, but if you lower the difficulty, the comet will not immediately catch fire. This trophy is easy to complete on the highway.

Got the trophy in 2 seconds, the demons helped.
With a low wanted level (1 bar), I jumped onto a comet (I was lucky, it was passing nearby, so I decided to jump), I just clicked on for surfing, and the demons took and blew up the car, and they counted me as a trophy. I think the same thing can be done in a co-op.
