Surviving Summer

Summer! Where are you? Are you even packed?

If you don't get a move on, we'll miss our flight

and this comp you so desperately want to attend.

Taxi's here! Let's go!

Hey, Ma, could you try and look a little more excited?

We made it!

Unfortunately, we can't check in until three.

Call Abbie.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

We've been away a whole year.

Do you not understand the concept of a surprise?

Not everyone likes surprises.

They're gonna love this one.

I'm back, baby!

Hello?

Ari?

Honey?

I really hope they still live here.

Otherwise, we 're breaking and entering.

I knew that's why you wanted to come back here.

Ma. Do you seriously think I'd beg you to come back just for a boy?

My cell finally worked out where it is.

No, it can't be today.

They changed the date.

Try-outs are today!

We gotta go!

Summer, how could you not know they changed the date?

Why are you still in second gear? Shift down to first.

Oh, my gosh, stop hassling me for a second and I will!

You just missed a spot back there!

I'm not going for that one.

See? Nailed it.

Hey, um...

I wasn't going to do this now, but...

I was going through the last of Mum's stuff and I found this.

I think she had it made before she passed.

Aw.

It was her little joke.

"Greatest Of All Time".

"GOAT".

Yeah. I don't think she was joking.

They're gonna name you Team Captain, Pops.

This is your year.

Yours too.

- Love you, braddah. - Braddah.

I think we'll leave it in the car, though.

Yeah, good shout.

Okay, let's go, let's go!

It's a beautiful day here at the wave pool.

A few of our young hopefuls getting in their last practice waves

before the State Finals get underway.

Make no mistake, in the junior ranks these are the best of the best.

No doubt some of these young hotshots will be the superstars of tomorrow.

Okay, bro, let's forget about surfing for a sec.

Teach me something you know, eh?

Hey...

This is a good spot for you, bro. You gonna pull out the airs today?

You know I am, Coach.

Yes, sir!

I'll see you later.

- How was your drive? - I am the Freeway Queen.

Although Manu probably wouldn't agree, but...

How are you feeling?

I'm so nervous I'm literally gonna vomit.

- Me too. - Yeah? Okay.

It's alright.

Attention, Poppy Tetanui and Bodhi Mercer.

Your pizza is ready.

I repeat, your pizza is ready.

And, Marlon Sousa, could you please put on a shirt for once?

Hey!

I'll take that now, thanks.

Summer?

Summer?!

Yo!

How could you not tell us?

- I got you so good! - America?

- Brazil! What's up? - Hey!

Could everyone clear the water, please?

Hey.

Hi.

Hey, handsome.

How was practice?

Sorry I couldn't get away from the signing.

Um...

Wren...

This is Summer.

Oh!

Summer, hi. Oh, my God! Hi!

Yeah, I've heard so much about you.

And, Summer, this is Wren, my girlfriend.

Uh, Ari! How could you not tell me she was coming?

No, it's my bad. I, um... I was trying to surprise him.

Mission accomplished.

So, what are you doing here?

I'm actually here to try out.

- Shut up! - Wait, seriously?

Yeah! I'm good now, guys. For real.

Summer, you realise today is the finals, right?

No, I know. I applied online for a wildcard spot, sent some clips in.

About to go check in with the selectors.

Should be fine, they'll love me.

Under 18's, this is your 15-minute warning.

Okay, you guys, this is happening.

Good luck, everyone!

You'll have to let us know how you go.

You haven't changed.

Haven't I?

One of you could have told me about Wren, by the way.

Excuse me? We've barely heard from you in months.

- And we do have our own lives. - Okay, fair.

So, you're still into Ari?

- I think that's a yes. - Okay, okay, you got me.

I was looking forward to seeing him.

Whatever, I guess that ship's sailed.

Anyway, how about you guys?

Spill.

Meh. The usual. Comps and training.

But Bodhi's got someone on the go!

Word! Get it, Bodhi! Tell me everything.

Yeah, maybe later.

Can we talk about how you're apparently a surfer now?

If you wanted to try out, why'd you leave it so late?

I had no choice. I had exams.

Plus you have no idea what it took to convince my mom to take time off.

She's in the parking lot right now sending emails.

I thought all the surf beaches near you sucked.

No, they do. But I just kept going back.

At first, it was to feel closer to you guys.

But... after a while it turned into something else.

I love it. I don't know how else to say it.

Oh, that's so beautiful, Sum-Sum!

Heat 1 competitors, please head to the pool.

Alright. Gotta get out there.

- Kill it, Bodes. - You got this.

by the end of today, four girls and four boys will be selected for the State team.

- She's good. - Ooh, yeah.

It's an unforgiving arena.

Each competitor only gets two waves. Best score counts.

And just like that, a simple mistake will cost you big time.

Come on, Bodhi!

Bit crazy having America back, hey?

Yeah. Nice and distracting on the biggest day of the year.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Just... shame you got with Wren.

Oi!

Dude. Me and Summer, that never would have worked.

Ay. This team's gonna be all Shorehaven, baby. Let's go!

Hey, Poppy said you might be State team coach.

Is that rumour or true-mour?

Well, selectors are considering it. So, fingers crossed, baby.

- Fingers crossed. - Oh!

Oi. I hope you get it, bro. Then you can make Poppy captain again.

Ay! Sometimes nepotism is the smart choice.

I think we all know who's gonna be captain, Pops.

Keep dreaming, Griffy.

Alright, let's go! Let's go, Bodhi!

Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go!
