Fortnite Driftboards: Where to find them for tricks

Fortnite Driftboards are a novel way to travel around the island, by surfing along on a board hovering above the ground which can also be used to perform tricks. Originally launching all the way back in Season 7 of Chapter 1, they were vaulted at the beginning of Chapter 2 and haven't been seen since, save for a short return during the Season OG flashback. However, they're now back once again with a bodacious new design linked to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cowabunga Pass event, and they are required for associated Fortnite quests to earn a large number of style points in one, as well as spending time airborne while performing tricks. To guide you through that, these are the Driftboard locations in Fortnite and how to perform impossibly difficult tricks with them.

I've marked all of the Fortnite Driftboard locations I've encountered on the map above, so you can see which areas to go to if you want to collect one. There are a total of four Driftboards over at Reckless Railways, where you'll also find plenty of Fortnite sewer pipes for another challenge, so that's a good area to check but is usually busy with other players. As always with these things, if another player has already scooted off on a Driftboard then it won't be in its original location, and you could stumble across them in other places if they've been left.

As with the Fortnite Dirt Bikes, you can perform tricks on Driftboards by moving the left stick while in the air to earn style points. I'm not sure what the exact points target is for doing an impossibly difficult trick on a Fortnite Driftboard, but if you hold the Jump button then release it and hold down on the left stick while Boosting you'll launch high into the air, then as long as you perform a few spins before landing with your board relatively flat to the ground you'll definitely rack up enough style points to complete this quest.
