You seen this?

Yeah, I heard about it.

It's a kiteboarding comp down at Bungello tomorrow.

Thought I might go down and take a few photos.

Yeah? Well, there's not as much competition in the kiteboarding mags. If

good shot, one of them might publish it.

$15 ,000 prize money.

Wow. Yeah, you should enter.

Get real.

Devin Simmer wouldn't let me. No outside comps, remember?

Well, what they don't know won't hurt him.

Let's go. I'll catch up.

How are you getting down there?

Train. I rang my grandma. She lives just outside Bungella. She's going to pick

me up from the station.

Why? It's not like a regular competition.

There are no heats.

I know. It's an expression session.

Everybody's out there at once. You've got two days to show off all your stuff.

What about Deb and Simo?

It's Saturday.

We are having some time off.

I would need someone to help me land the kite.

Reckon you could do it?

Easy.

Hey,

Anna.

Hey. Just checking that you still want to do that extra session this afternoon.

You wanted some help in the gym.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, Deb, can we reschedule? Yeah, sure, what's up?

Science project. Me and Joe are doing ours together.

What's it on?

Reproduction. But yeah, blend it well. We need to go to the national park.

Okay, well, have fun.

Oh, I'm starving.

Same. Let's go get an egg and bacon roll. Oh, perfect. I could eat two, plus

milkshake. You coming, Flush?

First we're meeting Heath to start on the science project.

Come, Sonny.

G'day.

Hey, Grandma.

Okay. Hey, who's this? This is Sonny. Grandma took him in from the pan about a

couple of months ago. He's gorgeous.

He might be gorgeous, but he's a pain in the backside. He won't do a thing, I

tell him.

Okay, Sonny. Up, up, up. One, two. Come on.

Yes. Hello.

Hi. This is Anna.

Hello, Anna.

How are you?

It's really good to see you.

Okay, let's go.

Say that.

Joe,

you seen Heath?

Nope, I haven't seen him all morning.

What time did he say he'd be then?

Nine o 'clock.

I waited three quarters of an hour in the boiling heat. With his idea, we did

this stupid project together in the first place.

Will you chill out? The project's not even due for another two weeks.

Yeah, and Anna's the only other person crazy enough to give up her Saturday in

the name of science. What's Anna doing hers on? She and Joe are doing something

on flannel flowers.

I don't know. They took off early this morning. Joe's not with Anna. He's down

the beach.

Oh. I'm sure that's what Deb said.

Maybe she went on her own.

Fly, are you okay?

Yep.

No, you're not.

You're upset about who? I'm not upset. I'm just annoyed.

Well, why don't you ring him then? Ask him why he didn't show.

Why should I call him? He's the one who didn't show.

Oh, fly, come on. Will you just ring his mobile and sort it out? I'm sure

there's a really simple explanation.

Okay.

Thanks, man.

All right.

Bye, Sonny. See you, DeVoy.

Thanks again.

Good luck.

Bye. Bye, Sonny.

We're just about to get underway, folks, so get to the registration table and

sign up. Conditions are perfect. Remember, this is the two -day

session, so go out there, express yourself, and have fun.

Okay. I'm in.

Hello?

Oh, fly.

I totally forgot. I'm so sorry.

Where am I?

I'm down the coast visiting my grandma.

Yeah, yeah, she's not well.

It's her heart.

Yeah, you see, she's got a dog and it needs feeding and her neighbours are

and, yep, I'm really the only one that can do it.

He forgot.

See, that's what I thought.

So where is he?

Down the coast. He reckons his grandma's sick.

Yeah, right.

Hang on, isn't he pretty close to his grandma? But why would Anna lie to Deb

about going summer with Joe? Yeah, it sounds a little bit sus to me.

What, you're thinking that Anna and Heath have gone somewhere together?

I don't know.

It certainly looks that way.

You with a mag?

No, it's just a hobby of mine, really.

You? I'm from Kite Rider. Our magazine's one of the sponsors.

Yeah, really?

Because I thought if I got any good shots, I'd take it to a few mags, see if

anyone's interested.

I think you'd be wasting your time, to be honest.

We've pretty much got the whole comp covered.

That's where they've gone.

Bungella kiteboarding competition.

She entered the competition and he's gone down to help her land the kite.

Is that his kiteboarding gear down there? It's missing.

You were right.

Oh well, now we know. But why couldn't he just tell me?

You should give him a serve. I agree.

Fly, you're too nice about things. You guys had an arrangement. He stood you up

and he needs to know that that's not good enough.

So it's midway here in the junior girl session.

Bit of a change here, folks. We've got Laurie Glynn, who's now moved into first

place on 40 points, second.

Jenny Watson with 24 points. I can't work it out. You're not scoring.

You're doing great.

You're doing better than most of them out there.

I think he might be a bit biased.

Hey, here's the evidence.

So where are these anonymous judges anyway?

They don't know tell when they see it.

You lied to me.

I didn't lie.

Not really.

You said you were visiting your sick grandma. You said she was in hospital.

Okay, I lied.

But only because Anna didn't want Deb and Simo to find out that she was going

the comp. But I'm not Deb and Simo, am I?

You're right.

I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry you dragged yourself all the way down here, but for what it's

worth, I'm glad you're here.

Apology accepted.

So... Where is she?

She's out the back there.

Stepping somewhere around? Not great.

Found them.

Hey, how'd you go?

I bet you blew them away.

Is there anyone who doesn't know about it? Don't worry, secret's safe with us.

Did you score a play?

It's the two -day comp, but I'm not going very well.

You're a German champion in your age group. You must be shooing it in. She

should be. She's easily as good as the other girls. She's just not scoring.

Why not?

I reckon it's simple. She's not scoring because she's not putting herself out

there enough.

I reckon you need to do something to get their attention.

I'm a sports person, not a performer.

All I'm saying is you can't afford to be shy.

Heath, I heard your grandmother wasn't very well.

Uh, no, no, no, she's fine. Yeah, she's a lot better now.

Oh, good.

Starfish? You started already?

Yep. We're still doing the assignment together though, yeah?

Sure. But if you think I'm doing all the work, forget it.

I wasn't.

We'll do it in half.

I'll do female starfish, you do male.

Well, the assignment's on reproduction.

I'll have to cross over at some point.

We'll get to that.

Hey, um, I wanted to say sorry again for standing you up today.

Just this opportunity to get a photo published.

I'm fine, Heath.

Really.

Just remember, I'm not going to be dropped like a hot potato whenever a

offer comes along.

Ignorance coming through loud and clear.

Good.

What are you doing?

Just getting prepared for tomorrow.

You're right back into this, aren't you?

Not really.

Yeah, right.

What did you say?

It's German for Sid.

I get it. He's a German shepherd in

disguise. He isn't disobedient. He just doesn't speak English.

He must have had a German owner somewhere along the line. I think he

And I like you, Donna and Sonny.

Maybe you two could take him to the beach with you. No, Grandma, I don't

that's... He loves the beach.

Grandma, I like you very much, but your dog is a handful.

Exactly. I need a break.

Please, just for today.

That's why I replant my garden. Come on, Heath.

It's the least we can do.

Yeah, all right.

Great.

OK, let's go.

Hey, Grandma, if somebody should call you, you're not feeling very well.

Go on, Heath.

Love to.

Yeah!

I'm sure you'll agree this weekend, we've showcased our best night sense

seen on these round of broadcasts.

Okay, right, let's move to the next hang time event.

Daniel Rick, Daniel's hang time was 5 .34 seconds.

Hey,

Sonny, Sonny, stop.

Hello, Pete, say something in German.

Honey, you're a bad boy.

Only in English.

We rang Heath 15 minutes ago. Anna is still not scoring.

Maybe she could use some support.

Didn't she say she didn't want us there? Yeah, but what she wants and what she

needs might be different things.

Pete's working on the science project.

I'll call Jo.

Hey. Hey, man.

Uh -oh.

What are you guys off to?

Heath, um, Grandma.

Oh, yes, I heard she wasn't well. No, we're going down to help Heath with

arrangements and stuff.

Arrangements.

She's got a dog that needs looking after and a few things to be sorted out.

Right, guys?

Oh, I didn't know.

I'm so sorry.

Well, you'd better go.

Just give Heath my love.

Ram? You know how I said you're not well?

Well, you just got worse.

Oh, wow.

I don't believe it.

Down there.

How's she going?

Not a lot.

This whole thing is a joke.

Did you go to the competitors' breakfast this morning? No.

Talk to anyone, play volleyball?

I'm done here to kiteboard. I know, but like I said, if you want to get noticed,

you have to paint myself green.

Hey, that's a good idea.

Or even better, wear no clothes at all.

Nude kiteboarding, hey, that could work.

Thanks for your help, guys, but I think I'll just try some good airs instead.

It's a bit weird having a competition based on personality more than ability.

I agree, so we have to help Annie get noticed.

Wow, see that?

Sunny, come here.

Bring me a spread.

Yeah.

Yeah, come here. Come here.

Yeah, Sunny, come here. Come here.

Yeah, come here. Come here.

Bring me a spread.

Come here.

Thank you, Sunny.

The dog just took the ball back to her. Well, it's a team effort out there,

folks. We've got a young girl and her dog working in perfect harmony.

See what the guy thinks? He brings the ball back.

It's probably one of the sickest tricks I've seen all season.

Excuse me.

What are you acting?

High Rider Magazine.

Do you know this competitor?

Yeah, I do.

How long did it take you to train that dog?

Where is everyone?

Down the coast with Heath.

Grandma passed away.

Really? Yeah.

His mum must be pretty upset.

I wonder if we should find out if she needs any help.

Yeah.

Good idea.

This is the Anna Pearson, the multiple European Junior Pro winner.

covering this girl over the last couple of days, weren't you?

Yeah, that's right. I'd like to take a look at some proof sheets, see what you

got.

Yeah, sure.

...to your new kiteboarding companion, Sonny. What do you reckon, guys?

In addition to the prize money, Anna has also won a place on the South Coast

Junior Kiteboarding Team. They'll be leaving in a month and touring for 10

overseas. What about that, guys?

Yes! The only thing is, we won't be able to pay for Sonny's airfare.

Can you manage to go without him?

Why didn't you say something? Because I knew you wouldn't want me to enter.

Well, you got that right.

Didn't you think we'd eventually find out once you'd won the competition?

It's kind of hard to keep it a secret when you're touring with the South Coast

kiteboarding team.

But I didn't think I'd win. I didn't think I'd get on the team.

Anna, you must have known you were in with a good chance.

You were junior golf champion in your own country.

Still, I haven't had a lot of practice lately.

Enough.

This tour starts in a month. You can't finish the year here if you go.

Looks like you've got a big choice to make.

They're asking me to choose between the two sports I love. I can't do that.

Maybe you should consider the kiteboarding tour. It's a great

love the sport, you're good at it, and it's a sure thing.

Whereas no matter how hard you try in the solar blue comp, you've only got a

in four chance of winning. Anything could happen.

If you gave up the kiteboarding trip and you didn't win the wild card.

you'd be pretty disappointed.

The prize money. I decided to give it back.

I'm not going on tour.

You sure about this?

Yeah.

I came to Australia to see if I could make it as a surfer.

And I still want to find out.

That's great, Anna.

But only if you're sure. There are other tours and I know that I can kiteboard.

I said I'd stay for the year and that's what I'm going to do.

You're pulling out? You can't. Why not?

Because I just found out one of the photos I took of you is going on the

of Kite Rider. They're devoting the whole issue to the touring team.

So? Well, if you pull out, they pull the photo.

Can't you just hold off on telling them? Hold off? Yeah, just a couple of weeks

until the magazine goes to print.

That wouldn't be fair. Fair?

Okay, what's fair about this? My first opportunity to get a photo published,

you want to go and do the right thing.

They might still publish a photo?

Yeah, but it's not on the front cover.

It'll be black and white and buried on page 37.

Oh, well, maybe now you can concentrate on your assignment.

For your information, I've done my half -year assignment.

I've written everything there is to know about male starfish. Good.

And you've done your bit about the female starfish.

Now we've just got to put them together.

That's your job. Says who?

I'm doing design and presentation.

Have you taken assertive pills? You're going all bossy and stuff.

I just decided I needed to start speaking my mind. Yeah?

Good. Because if everyone was a bit more straightforward about things, I could

be a lot easier.
