How to Ride a Shark in Fortnite

Players who would like to ride a shark will need first to find a fishing rod and add it to your inventory. Once you have acquired a fishing rod, head to a body of water and cast your fishing line as if you were trying to catch any fish. You will know a shark is nearby to ride when you see its fin sticking out of the water. Keep your line cast, and the shark should approach it and grab it. This will then cause your character to get propelled into the air and begin to ride the animal thanks to a set of jet skis. 

You are now able to use the creature to go all across the water-covered map and use this new transportation system to help you secure Victory Royales.

We recommend getting into a boat and driving around for the best chance of being able to quickly find one of these creatures instead of waiting around at one body of water and hoping one approach you when you are fishing. 

There is no doubt that players who can learn and master the ability to ride a shark will become very skilled in making their way around the new map that has been introduced in Chapter 2 Season 3.
