'''Surf's Way Up''' is a Duel [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.

==Overview==
The opening shows each player riding their jetboard down a path in outer space, with [[Earth]] visible in the background.

Players try to go through colored circular goals with different [[point]] values, though the goals depicting a [[Bowser]] [[emblem]] drop them down to zero instantly. The player with the most points by the end wins, though if both end with the same number, it is a tie.

[[Test for the Best]] has a single-player variety where points are earned through the same means while avoiding the Bowser goals. The scores necessary to earn a certain point total are as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Grade !! Points earned !! Required score !! Title
|-
| '''A+''' || 1,000 || 800 points || Cosmic Kahuna
|-
| '''A''' || 900 || 680 points || Stellar Surfer
|-
| '''B''' || 800 || 560 points || Wave Maker
|-
| '''C''' || 700 || 440 points || Surfin' Sophomore
|-
| '''D''' || 600 || 320 points || Surfin' Neophyte
|-
| '''F''' || 0 || N/A || Wipeout Kid
|}

In the ending, the winning and losing players do their respective animations as the former launches off-screen, but in the case of a tie, both do their losing animations.

==Notes==
*If one of the veteran playable characters wins, they will perform one of their secondary victory animations from the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]-era ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games (with [[Mario]]'s and [[Luigi]]'s being slightly different) instead of the new ones they received in this game. [[Blooper]] and [[Hammer Bro]] will perform their own new secondary victory animations as opposed to their normal ones. This is also the case in [[Thrash 'n' Crash]].
