There's too much choice and not enough time. You're mine, I'm mine.

Aiming for the head, get down.

You're the only one in town.

Living at Solar Blue means you're never short of a mate or six to go surfing

with.

We're heading to Barry Brown for a change. You want to come?

Maybe later. I'm just watching my board.

Come on. If you put any more on the sink, I'll catch you up, okay?

But sometimes you don't feel like going with the whole game.

Sometimes you just want to hang with one person, even if they don't know it.

Hey, Amy, last one to the bench. It's a geriatric bodyboarder.

Wait up.

I hear something in my foot.

Really? Look, maybe I can put it out.

Gotcha. You're too easy, Eric.

Hey.

One by mile. More like a millimetre. Anyway, you cheated.

I keep telling you, nice guy. What?

You think I'm a nice guy?

I mind you when you're standing on my couch.

So, how do you go from having a friend who's a girl to having a girlfriend?

Is there some special trick?

They taught you stuff like this at school. It pays heaps more attention.

That guy's keen.

He's taking happy snaps at seven in the morning.

Yes, you've got us, sir. Give me a decent shot.

All right.

What do you think you'll get there?

Salt.

Good stuff out there, mate. Thanks.

Yeah, I got lucky with that last one.

Dan Blalock, Sex Magazine.

Are you serious? Sex is like my favourite mag. I mean, I guess everyone

you that.

Put this on, mate.

One of those solar blue kids, right? Yeah.

Why not ask your name?

I'm Eric.

Eric Tanner.

What's this for, anyway?

I'm not sure yet, Eric, but... Cheers, mate.

I'll see you around, eh? Yeah.

Hey, no, wait, you forgot this.

Keep it.

You're not going to believe this. I got what's in the stack.

In that?

Yep. And check this out. It's a lot of freebies.

Hey,

give it back.

Okay, so I know how to be Eric the surfing buddy.

Or Eric the comedian.

That's easy.

But how do I get to be Eric the boyfriend?

That's where I wouldn't have a clue.

There she is.

Port of my dream.

What's so special about it, apart from the overblown price tag?

Are you kidding?

It's practically indestructible.

Ultralight epoxy resin, a computer -shaped micro -tolerance is the ultimate

ride. Why do guys get so fixated on technology?

It works.

Todd Johnson won Hawaii on one of those.

Todd Johnson could win on a house breakfast bench.

How luck seems right.

Sounds to me you're in love with it too.

Oh, who wouldn't be? It's perfect.

Then buy it. Oh, I would if it wasn't 800 bucks.

Yeah. Hey, is there something else that you're wanting over?

Isn't that just so cool?

What's that?

Oh, well, guessing both dream on.

Ah, Eric, I need to talk to you.

It was about the crack in the window. It was an accident.

What crack in the window? Oh, not like a scratch, really. You can hardly notice.

Eric, my office.

A guy from Stacks Surfing Magazine dropped by with this.

Excellent. Can I please keep them? Sure. They're going to be part of a feature

on up -and -coming juniors.

My photo in Stacks? You're kidding me, aren't you? But that's not all, mate.

This is awesome. Stacks is like my Bible. I mean, I've got a whole pile of

under my bed at home. Eric, you're not letting me finish.

They're going to pay you.

Pay me?

That's right.

A thousand bucks.

Cash.

Eric, this is fantastic. Yeah, a thousand bucks for one aerial.

Talk about easy money.

Why bother with comps at all?

That's why some surfers just chip around the world catching waves with the

cameras and getting big money for it.

That'd be my dream job.

A thousand bucks. Never had that kind of money before.

So, what are you going to do with it?

I don't know yet.

Hey, this means you can buy that board.

Yeah, I guess. Why not?

This kind of money doesn't fall into your life every day.

You may as well use it.

Yeah. Why not spend it on something you feel passionate about?

I don't know. It just seems like a lot of money to blow all in one hit. All on

myself, you know?

If that's a problem, you can always give it to me.

Mate, it's not going to sit there forever.

Look, if you're not careful, someone else will buy it. Yeah, I know.

That ball was really something.

But as much as I wanted it, something else was yelling at me to buy it too.

Hey, Eric.

Coming in to what?

Yeah.

Put the cash away.

When you buy a board this expensive, they let you try before you buy.

What, without paying?

That's right.

Epoxy boards are almost unbreakable, so you can take it out for a test, sir, as

long as you bring it back first thing tomorrow.

Yep, I'm not arguing with that.

I'll get the book for you to sign.

We'll need a small down payment, say, 200 bucks.

Yeah, no problems, mate.

Oh, man, it's lighter than air. These things have got so much flotation, they

can be a bit tricky to ride.

It's like swapping your skateboard for a new Ferrari.

I'm down to bed.

No,

Larry!

Put her in bed!

Ow! That'd expect more than that for 800 bucks.

Hey, if it's a dart, I can take it off your hand.

Where have you been?

All over town.

I never realised how much work shopping could be.

Whoa. Hey, big spender.

Where is it? What is all this?

Let's see. This one is a cappuccino maker.

And this one is a toasted sandwich maker.

What do you reckon?

Great. But how does that work behind the board?

Yeah, or are you taking that back?

No, no, no. Of course not. I've still got plenty left, but this is something

you guys. You know, for the house.

For us?

You didn't have to do that. That's so nice, Eric. Yeah.

It is.

Too nice, if you ask me.

There'll be a bribe. Yeah.

You want us to let you in the next comp, don't you? Oh, come on, boys. I don't

need to bribe you guys for that. I'm going to win it anyway.

Oh, yeah.

Well,

I think it's very generous, but you have to make your own cappuccinos.

Hello.

It's really sweet, Eric, but you shouldn't have done it. It's no big

Maybe it's like pizza in a movie on me.

Yeah. Great.

That last piece of cheesecake was a really bad idea.

I couldn't eat another thing.

Thanks, mate.

Sorry. I could, but then I'd need my stomach pumped.

Eric, you sure you don't want any money for this?

No, I told you, it's my treat.

Hey, Amy, are you all right? It just doesn't seem like you to be the quiet

Was it the movie? Or was it the pizza?

I just don't get why you're wasting your money like this.

Be a friend. You don't have to impress us.

I'm not trying to impress anyone.

I got lucky, right?

If you're going forward too fast, you'll blow it all. No, I won't. And, you

know, if I overshoot a bit, I've got some extra cash in the bank I can pull

back. Are you sure?

Yes.

Don't worry about it.

I've got it covered.

Should we have that break?

Should we be out there at your dream board?

Maybe later.

Okay, if you're going to do it, perfect moments don't get much better than this

one. Hey, I was going to do this before, but, um...

What else is around?

What is it?

You want me to find out?

Eric, it's too much.

You don't like it? No, I love it. It's just so expensive.

I'm not completely sure why you're giving it to me. This is it. This is the

where you tell her how you feel. That's what she's waiting for.

Well, it's because... Go on, tell her. Because we're friends.

No, surfing buddies.

What? I can't believe you said that.

Nothing, mate.

Yeah, like I said, I want to share my life with my mates.

Mates?

Right.

This is a train wreck. Just get out before you make things any worse, if

possible. Hey, um, I'm going to head back. See if I can catch a couple before

dark.

Um, okay.

See ya.

Eric, you idiot.

You had the perfect setup and you blew it.

From now on, every time she looks at you, she's going to see jerk written

your forehead in big letters.

I'm honest. I could be in somewhere.

Excuse me, mate. You haven't seen a board washing, have you? No, it's all

I haven't.

Guys,

I think I've lost the board.

Your new one. How could you lose it? Well, I got wiped badly.

Did your leg rip snap? I didn't have it on. I was trying some aerials. You left

it off. But it isn't even your board yet. I know.

Mate, that was asking for trouble. Can you just help me look, please?

I'd better get Simo.

Did anyone see anything?

No. Sorry, mate.

Sorry. Derek, this is pointless, mate. It's practically dark. The board's

drifted out to sea or someone's picked it up. But it could be wedged between

rocks. I mean, the current could have taken it sideways.

It's too dangerous to check the rocks in this light.

Okay, so what do we do now?

Wait till the morning, then we'll take out the rubber duck and have a good

okay?

Don't worry, mate. I'm sure it'll turn up tomorrow.

Yeah, it can't have gone far.

Eric, I hope you don't mind me asking, but have you got enough money left to

for all this?

Yeah, of course I have.

Because we haven't used the coffee machine or the sandwich maker, and we

easily take them back and get a refund. No way! They were gifts. I'm not taking

them back.

Don't worry, guys. I've got it covered.

How's it going?

Oh, I'm fine.

But I'll be a lot better if I find the board tomorrow.

And if we don't? If we don't, I would have forked out 800 bucks for nothing,

wouldn't I?

Here, take this.

What's that for?

Under the circumstances, I wouldn't be much of a friend if I kept it, would I?

Amy?

Amy!

I'm not taking this back. Sorry.

Come on, you have to.

Can't keep it.

Not now.

You don't have a choice.

They don't give refunds. You serious?

Yes, of course.

Anyway, I told you I'm fine, but thank you for the offer.

You'd have to be joking.

Spent the money on a roof leak?

Mum, why didn't you tell me?

No, no, no, you're right. I said to use it if there was an emergency.

We can't have rain coming in, can we?

No, I can manage fine.

Yeah, no worries.

OK. I love you too, Mum. Bye.

Everything all right?

Oh, yeah, that's just family stuff.

Any sign of the board?

Simo and Fly took a look around the bay. There was nothing.

There's got to be other places they haven't looked yet. No time.

I mean, the board's due back at the shop now.

I've got to go there and tell them the bad news.

Hang on.

Why don't you stall them so we can do one last search?

Are you sure?

Why not? It's worth a try, isn't it?

Yeah, OK.

You planning a surfing trip, Amy?

No, just trying to figure out where Eric's board might have ended up. I

that was all over.

Yeah, didn't Simone fly ready to assert?

They did, but I don't think they realised how much trouble Eric's

he doesn't find it.

I hate to say it, but he did kind of bring it on himself.

And anyway, he did tell us he had it covered.

Trust me, what Eric says, what's going on in his head, aren't always the same

thing.

Amy, if you want to do this properly...

I can get on the laptop and pop the wind currents for you.

You could.

Corey, that'd be brilliant. But you won't get pinpoint accuracy.

Just the spread of possible locations up and down the coast.

That's kind of sounding like a major search for two people.

Well, maybe we can help you look too.

Sure. It'll keep me away from my homework.

Thanks, guys.

I'll go see if Rachel and Mike can join in as well.

G'day. G'day.

How'd the board go?

Good question.

The fact is, it was so flat yesterday, I couldn't really give it a real test.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, so I was wondering if I could keep it a bit longer?

To be honest, the boss doesn't like new boards staying out more than a day.

Yeah, a couple of hours, it wouldn't hurt, would it? And there's a good swell

building up.

OK, I'll give you till me a day, but that's definitely it. Thank you, mate. I

appreciate it. If it's not back by then, you'll have to pay. You know that,

don't you?

Yeah.

Here you go, Amy, Mike. Here's your location.

Remus Point. Sure.

OK, I know it's unlikely, but it's a chance.

That's fine, Corey. Come on, Mike, we don't have time to argue. Rachel and

Brooke, these are yours.

Bit of a hike. Sorry.

No problem.

That felt like a decent run.

Decent run? That's a marathon.

Better get a move on, then.

Hey, Corey.

I just got your message, mate. What's going on?

Eric, perfect timing. You're searching these locations with me.

Okay, what are the others doing? We're splitting the teams. Between us, we

should be able to cover all the places where the Ford mine was washed up.

Mate, this is fantastic.

What can I say?

Hey, don't thank me.

Amy organised it all.

you can say what you wanna say

I don't get it.

According to my calculations, it should have been in one of those spots.

Sorry, mate.

I guess that's it.

Yeah.

Look, thanks, Guy, for trying.

I mean it.

I'd better get back to the surf shop. There's no point putting it on.

Wait a second.

How about we all chip in some ice cream? No way. I mean, thank you, but it's my

responsibility, no one else's, OK?

Where did you get it?

Here, take this.

No, I just told the others. Eric, I took the watch back.

I got him to change his mind about the refund.

But I wanted you to keep it.

Look, if there's something you want to tell me, giving me a present isn't the

best way.

To be honest, I'd be more impressed if you just came straight out and said it.

$350,

$370, $380, plus mine, $200.

Oh.

That's $580.

Yeah, I know. That's a lot.

You're still $220 short.

Yeah, I know.

If you've got any jobs going, maybe I can work off the rest.

Work it off?

It's a new one.

Oh, I'm sorry, mate. That's all I can offer.

I'll have to speak to you later.

I don't know if it makes any better. I'm not that crazy about it either.

Well, maybe we can work something out.

Come on.

This workshop's been here since Simmo was in napping.

Yeah, looks like.

Now we're expanding, so all this junk has to be taken out to the skip and the

place has to be cleaned from top to bottom.

Sounds like fun.

Fun it isn't. It'll take you today and most of next weekend at least.

But if you do a good job, we'll consider the debt paid.

Deal?

Much of a choice, do I?

Okay. Yeah.

Go for it.

Amy, what are you doing here?

I don't know what's taking you so long.

How do you know?

Welcome to my night, please.

You're going to miss a heap of training.

It's not going to be long, is it?

There's nothing I can do about it.

So where's the broom?

What?

Amy, you shouldn't be here. You don't have to do this.

I know.

I'm okay. I've got it covered.

No, you don't. Can you please stop saying that?

I've never lifted so many boxes.

I never swept someone to dirt.

Thank you, Amy. I owe you one. You bet.

Aching muscles aren't going to let you forget it either.

Oi, you two, you need it in the backyard.

Right now.

My board!

Right.

Not bad, Nick, either.

Apart from a few scratches.

And a nasty fishy smell.

We looked everywhere, Simo. Where'd you find it?

I did.

A mate of mine went fishing first thing, found it wedged in some rock. Thought I

might like it.

Did he say where it was exactly?

I think you said Brammer's Point.

Brammer's Point?

That was one of my locations.

I knew I was right. This is unbelievable.

I can't wait to take it up another way.

On one condition, you never take this up again.

All right, you've got

one last chance, so don't low it this time.

Amy. What is it?

You know all that stuff I said before about us just being friends, a surfing

buddy?

That wasn't true.

You mean we're not friends?

No, no, no.

No, of course we are. What I mean is you're not just a friend.

You're something else.

You're different to my other friends. I mean, um... I'm sorry, I'm not very good

at this.

It's okay.

I think I get the idea.

You do.

Is that what you were trying to say?

Yeah.

Got it in one.

Um, everyone's going down for a surf.

That's if you want to come.

Okay, that'd be great.

Cool, I'll see you down there.

Come on, race me back. Ah, no chance. Sorry, all that work did my knee in. I

didn't realise it's not going to affect your surfing, is it?

Gotcha.

We'll learn from the best.

That's it, Eric. You've had it this time.

Come on.

We're going back.

Stop.

Okay, right now.

Right.

One.
