Fortnite Summer challenge: How to catch 3 seconds of air while driving a Motorboat

The highly anticipated Summer Event for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 is finally here. With it, a whole host of challenges have been added to the game, including one to get some airtime in a motorboat.

Challenges this season are still the best way to earn XP, even though Epic Games nerfed the system. Fortunately, the Summer Event has introduced more challenges than players will know what to do with.

In total, there are 17 new quests. The one where players must get three seconds of airtime in a motorboat may seem difficult, but there is a way to do it with relative ease. Here's a guide on how to do so.

Fortnite Summer Event: Getting wicked airtime in a motorboat

Motorboats can be found in nearly every body of water. There is one specific location that makes this challenge quite easy. Near Mighty Monument, there should be a boat to the right of the statue.

If it isn't present at that exact location, there should be one somewhere nearby. The boat doesn't have to be from there. Players just need to have a boat in that location.

Most bodies of water are connected, so driving a boat from anywhere to Mighty Monument shouldn't be impossible.

To the right of the statue, there is a slanted boulder off which players can drive their motorboat. This does deplete the vehicle's durability, but it's a short trip to the top.

Once players get to the top, they should fall off into the wind tunnel. This should propel the boat upwards, easily getting much more than three seconds of airtime.

It may be recommended to jump out of the boat while in the wind tunnel so that the boat doesn't fall to the ground and result in fall damage for the Fortnite player inside.

Alternatively, this challenge may be possible in Loot Lake with the ramps placed in the water, but getting three seconds there would be much more challenging. For a much easier (and potentially safer) attempt, visit Mighty Monument.
