Arctic Bay Shorcut:
After passing three icebergs and the long right turn, before the ramp, at around 2 o'clock you will se a discoloration in the mountain side. Run into that discoloration and it will open up the underground penguin lair. Bear right and you will see a reunion with all the penguins and a ramp. There are two shortcut options. Either go onto that ramp and dive, which uncovers one shortcut; or go straight, which uncovers a different shortcut.

Towards the end of the track, as you are on the big turn, is a big brick wall. Run into the wall with your Jet Ski and it will break, giving you an advantage on the race. You can do this in any game mode.

Free roam:
Select free roam mode and choose the Fatty and the Dolphin Park track. Go towards the mountain and you will see a ring of buoys. You may need someone fast, as it as hard to get to.
