5After wiping out from an abnormally large wave in the Caribbean, Greendog wakes up on a beach with a mysterious pendant around his neck that he can't remove. He's informed that said pendant has an Aztec curse that not only causes all living things to attack him, but [[SkewedPriorities also prevents him from surfing]]!

8!!This game contains examples of:
9* AndTheAdventureContinues: The game ends with the Aztec treasure combining into the Surfboard of the Ancients, giving Greendog back his surfing prowess. Off in the distance, his girlfriend Bambi says that the surfboard's full power hasn't been awakened yet, and there are more adventures ahead of Greendog.
10* ClingyMacGuffin: Greendog wakes up with a mysterious pendant around his neck that he can't remove.
11* EverythingTryingToKillYou: It’s actually a plot point to the game; the cursed pendent Greendog wears causes all living things to go berserk and attack him.
12* {{Mayincatec}}: Each Caribbean island has an Aztec temple that Greendog must go into to collect a set of treasure pieces (even though in reality, the Aztecs resided in modern-day Mexico and not the Caribbean islands).
13* PlotCoupon: Collecting all seven pieces of Aztec treasure will allow Greendog to remove the pendant from his neck.
14* TideLevel: St. Vincent, the final island you explore, has raising and lowering water that can kill you instantly if your head is below the water.
15* UnderTheSea: Played with. Curacao actually takes place in the fish tank of a modern aquarium, with windows to the guests in the background.
16* YouWakeUpOnABeach: The main story begins with Greendog getting knocked off his board and waking up on a beach.
