This trope is when characters ride on lava. They usually surf on a floating rock that happens to be nearby, or something flat they happen to have with them, unless they're so cool they don't need any of those things. If the heroes are in the Lethal Lava Land or stuck near Chekhov's Volcano, you can bet this is how they will escape. (Magma Men tend to do this a lot.) Sometimes, the object being used to surf will start to burn up or melt, making the surfer find another board. See also Implausible Boarding Skills. Often takes place in front of a Climactic Volcano Backdrop. Subtrope of Convection, Schmonvection and Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid. Sister trope to Ride the Lightning. |

Ranma ½: During the midair battle of the Grand Finale, Ranma knocks the Phoenix King Saffron out of the sky and towards the ground. But Saffron's Battle Aura causes the solid rock to gush upwards in a a huge gout of magma; Ranma only survives because the hyper-frozen boulder he had been riding conveniently takes the brunt of the lava, but even it has completely disintegrated by the next panel. | |

Rayman 2: The Great Escape: In one level, Rayman does this...on top of a plum. (This series has a thing about plums.) Interestingly, there's dark lava and yellow lava in this segment, and the yellow lava is hot enough to destroy the plum and kill Rayman. | |

Jitsu Squad have the heroes escaping Infernia by surfing on a lava river using shields as boards. And enemy mooks on similar boards will pursue them, culminating with a Chase Fight boss battle against The Dragon, Dash Kobayashi, while moving atop the boiling lava everywhere. What really takes the cake though is the background music, which is literally titled "Surfing on the Lava"! | |
