There's too much choice and not enough time to move on.

Aiming for the head, get down.

Anna, drop the leading shoulder.

Take it. Take the drop.

Come on, push up from your legs. Push up.

Come on, paddle.

Anna.

Try and relax.

Try to relax. Yeah, right.

Coaches speak in a secret language.

Like when they tell you you're definitely improving, it really means

going backwards.

Anna, you're definitely improving!

At least you didn't say, tomorrow's another day.

Because when they say that, you might as well give up there and then.

So, uh, Simo, at this point in time, your main advice to Anna would be...

You did understand what I was telling you, didn't you?

I understood.

Yeah, but as far as improving her form?

Well, sometimes you've got to get worse at something before you get better,

right? As far as I can see, she's balking at the last minute. You know,

it, basically.

One coach is enough, Fang.

Tomorrow's another day, right?

OK, guys, listen up.

Nice as it would be to keep this a friendly game, this here is a

You get points from the weekly comps. You lose them by breaking any of the

rules. Oh, come on. Consequences, people. Boring but inescapable fact of

So, first round points are up.

9 .5.

I can wear that gown.

Okay, now this is the beginning. It's where you finish the count.

Good to keep an eye on where you're going, but obsessed about the numbers

early on in the piece and you will drive yourselves mental.

Oh, life.

Oh.

You're learning a whole new skill, Anna.

You've been a kiteboarder for how long?

I don't think I'm going to get any better.

I don't think anyone else does either.

That's not true.

Please fly.

You don't need to be nice about it. I was being serious.

Why would solar blue send you halfway around the world if they didn't think it

was possible?

Excellent.

A live one.

Hey, hey, hey, look, look. I just want you to tell me how you're feeling at the

end of the one month mark. No, not that big a deal.

Running late as it is.

Guys, I've got nothing interesting to say.

Come on.

What? Are you serious?

See ya.

Come on, Edge. We can talk about the fact that you're coming first.

Gonna be a weird doco, guys. Just lots of footage of Perry talking about

herself.

Hey, and not that there's anything wrong with that. It just means that because

you're the only one that'll talk to me, there won't be much variety.

Hi, Heath.

Breakfast? Yeah.

Looking for the answer to her recent slump in performance.

Cardboarding star Anna looks to nutrition for the answer.

Perhaps more bread will do the trick.

You can't seriously call this crowd full of bread.

I don't know. It depends how hungry I am. Oh, come on, Anna. Please, please

to me. I'll get up on my knees if it helps.

We have scored invites to the party of the season.

Summer vibes.

The surf club have it every year.

Anyone who is anyone in the surf team goes.

But not usually the kids from the academy, correct?

Correct. But, I mean, we've kind of been too near the top of the list. The

party's tonight and we got these invites today.

Always look for the crack in the window, Beck, and you'll miss the view.

I know.

There doesn't seem to be one for you.

You know what, I'll go give him a call and... Don't.

There is no need.

Anna?

Anna! I'm sure we can fix it.

What are you doing?

Um, tidying up.

I'm not going to bother with this surf club party tonight.

Sounds boring.

I think I'd rather stay home than watch David Ace.

Please, why?

I know what you're trying to do, but I don't need this party like you all do.

Germany, we aren't treated like babies until we turn 20.

So you run along to this party tonight and play grown -up. I'm quite capable of

looking after myself.

Fine. I'm sorry.

Hannah,

do you want to wait up or do you want to get some traveling shots?

Thanks. Hi, I'm Luke. You're in a screaming hurry?

Hey, Deb, hang on the file.

Hey, Deb.

Oh, my goodness.

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

Put those in the fridge, Perry.

And Matt, clean up the class, will you?

Okay, so, on the one hand, I've been trying to put together a portrait of

of the other kids.

They're not cooperating, and so fate delivers exactly what I need straight

my lap. Thank you very much.

But then, um, on the other hand, you don't have to be Einstein to work out

there's, um, going to be some ethical issues.

Einstein was such a bore, wasn't he? Did you have a knock?

Not usually on the door of my own room.

What have we got here, my precious?

Our personal files.

Applications to get in.

Psychological assessment.

Judges' comments.

Hamburger with the works.

Hmm. To look or not to look?

Yep. That's the one.

Why do you care anyway? We all got in. What good does it do to know what the

judges said?

Because it would tell us what they thought our strengths and weaknesses

What we need to improve.

And because they're the same judges, we're going to be surfing in front of

in the final. That's a very good point, that one. We all know what you think

already, okay?

Fly.

Call me goody -two -shoes, but I think we should give it back. It wasn't meant

for us to say.

Goody -two -shoes?

So if we had to vote now, it would be three against? Yeah. And three for

inside the pot? Well, there's no point even thinking about it, because Anna's

not here. It shouldn't matter.

Anna didn't have to apply to get in.

Where is she, anyway?

I'm supposed to go back in a year, but if I wanted to change, is that possible?

I'll just have to check.

Yes, you can.

Would you like to be waitlisted for the first available flight next week?

Well,

has anyone seen her?

You know, I haven't seen Anna since just after breakfast.

So where the hell is she? Or Perry, for that matter? Perry has clearly fallen

down the toilet because that's where she reckoned she was going half an hour

ago. Okay, what about Anna?

I'm sure she's around here someplace.

What? None of you care? She's taken off and left you with all the hard work?

What a loyal bunch we have this year.

Hey, guys, I've misplaced some really important files.

Has anyone seen them? They're like big grey folders.

How important?

Well, there was a cheque for a lot of money in one of the files.

We're in big trouble if we can't find it.

Please keep your eyes open, OK?

Perry, have you seen any of Deb's files? I don't know what you are suggesting,

but I was in the toilet the whole time.

Really?

The question is, how do we get it back to her? And whether we read the files

first. If Anna would hurry up and get home, we could vote and get it over

There's not much of interest in her file anyway.

You read Anna's file while you were in the toilet, didn't you? I was curious

about the whole kiteboarding thing.

And why she's here. Did you just read hers?

No, not just hers. Are you the theories, Perry?

Hi, Jelly.

Hi, guys.

Well, I'm sorry, but it was just sitting there, and I'm weak. And the truth is,

unless Matt hadn't busted Heath, he probably would have read them all too.

Well, you all probably would have given the chance. No, this is completely

unfair. Now she knows everything about all of us. Well, why don't we just all

read them?

It's the fairest thing to do, and Anna can make up her own mind when she gets

home. If she ever gets home.

You're not going to look at it?

Maybe there's stuff in there to be better not to know.

Right. And once you know stuff, you can't just press erase and get rid of

can you?

No, I guess not.

You think I'm completely weird.

Yep.

Um, but hey, that's a bonus in my book.

You can't be serious, can you?

If Depp or Simoes do this, they'll know we had it.

Come on, it's just so cruel.

I'm trying to make a doco in which none of the subjects want to tell me anything

about themselves, except you, of course.

And a pot of gold lands in my lap, and I'm not allowed to use it?

Heath.

Ooh, you're, um, very dressed up. Hello?

The party?

Simba was picking us up in two minutes, which means you've got two minutes to

get ready.

Ready.

Come on.

In you get.

Anna.

I'm wondering if there's an explanation for your absence today.

Yeah, there is, but I'm not sure I'm ready to talk about it yet.

Okay. Well, maybe we should make some time to talk... About my commitment to

program, whether my motivation is where it needs to be.

Yeah.

Yep, we'll talk about that too.

Hey Anna, I rang the surf club. There's an invitation for you. It just flipped

through the net. They're expecting you to come.

It's cool, really. I don't feel like going.

Have a good time.

Let's do it, Perry.

Thank you.

Zoe! How you going?

Were you invited too?

Yes, Perry, I was. But I forfeited my invitation so as not to cramp your

That's the sort of guy I am.

You're a very nice man sometimes, you know. Thank you.

Now, do I need to remind anybody about the 12 o 'clock curfew? Or are we all

clear about the 12 o 'clock curfew?

We're clear.

Clear about.

All together now.

12 o 'clock curfew. Excellent.

Go wild.

Aaron Campbell, ex -WCT in the brown shirt.

Marty Coon, manager of PR for Mako Boards, with black glasses on.

And that, who is he?

Jesse Vandenberg.

What, no detail?

Doesn't waste any time, does she?

So, you didn't read my file yet?

No.

Not much point reading any of the girls' files, since I don't have to compete

with you.

Yeah.

Not much point, really.

I was curious, though.

Just didn't have time.

You know?

Yeah.

Right.

Want my shirt?

I'm wearing two.

Oi, Perry.

Perry, don't mean to spoil your fun, but it's time to think about that curfew,

yeah? Oh, what a shame.

Just when the real party's about to begin. What real party? Just a new surf

magazine being launched in town.

We're going to head in there.

Have I got time to go home, get a jacket and push this news button on this

curfew? No, I've known Simone for a while. If you mess with his curfew,

gone.

Hi. Do you mind if I come?

Thanks.

Harry?

Does the name Jesse Vandenberg mean anything to you?

Oh, well, he's amazing.

He'd see me surf. And without wanting to jump the gun, I think his interest

would be more than just my technique.

And that explains why you're halfway out the window.

After party.

You're walking back on your own? I won't be on my own. Jesse will be waiting.

Wish me luck.

What happened to Perry? Did she fall in?

Oh, um, she went back to the master party.

What? Guys, Perry's gone back to the party.

What? So curfew is 12, bed check is 12 .30. No one said anything about a bed

check. Well, that would kind of defeat the purpose of doing an unannounced bed

check, wouldn't it? Well, if it's so unannounced, then how come you know

it? I'm a local. I've been doing my research for years.

But what do we do about Perry?

We can't go after her. We won't be back in time ourselves, and then we'd all cop

a caning.

Jesse?

So you're going to tell me what kind of secret surface business you're up to in

there?

So are we going to the party now or what?

Yes.

We're going to the party.

But you'll have to make your own way there.

If it's not already way past your bedtime.

Sorry.

You better take those shoes off. It'll be easier to run without them.

Run? Simmel's doing a bed check in six and a half minutes.

Give me a leg up, Anna.

I am.

Nearly there.

Just a bit more.

Perry?

Perry!

Okay, your turn.

I'm glad you won for us. That was very smooth.

It wasn't my fault. I wasn't learning about the house without any teeth.

Yes, you did.

Help me up. Hang on. This window won't stay.

I need to find something to hold it.

Yeah, that'll... Hi.

So I thought because I didn't go to the surf club party, I'd go to this other

party. And Perry came to find me because she knew I'd get into trouble if you

found out.

Anna, you're shedding points left, right and centre.

Almost deliberately, it seems, which makes me wonder if you really want to be

here at all.

I can see that it would look like that. Well, is it like that or does it just

look like that?

I'll go to bed and have a long hard think about it and have an answer for

the morning.

You're good.

Why did you do that?

I figured the points are more important to you than they are to me. It's Simo,

right? And this is just some plan to try and get yourself kicked out or

something? It's too late for that.

I changed my flight today.

I just haven't told Depp or Simo yet. Hello?

You're leaving?

Why? I don't love it like you all do. I haven't been dreaming of surfing since I

could crawl.

And that's what you're going to tell Depp and Simo?

Something like that.

Hey, I know the real reason, Anna. And Depp and Simo know it too.

I know about the kiteboarding accident.

I know it scared you out of the water, and then they sent you here so you could

take some time out and get your confidence back.

And just so you're clear, you were surfing brilliantly when you first got

I thought you could have beaten any of us.

But then you seized right up.

And now you're going to run home, hang up your simmers and take off knitting.

Which, by the way, is exactly what they're all expecting you to do. Who?

Your coach, Deb and Simmer, your parents.

They basically said as much in your file. What file?

Having read the circumstances of Anna's accident, I think it's quite possible

that we can tailor part of the program to target her specific fears.

Dollar Blue feel a stint at the academy may help her break through the

psychological trauma.

I feel it my duty to register my unhappiness at the decision to include

Everyone read it?

Just me.

I took your file out before anyone else read it.

Why would you do that for me?

Because in spite of appearances, I do have a heart.

Your coach's comments are on the last page.

I need to feel any worse?

I reckon it's worth having the whole story.

Good night.

How much do you think it'll cost?

It's pretty heavy.

I reckon ten bucks at least.

Ten bucks?

I still reckon we should just leave it on the doorstep.

Or maybe let Heath work out how to get it back since he was the one who found

in the first place. Hey, if you decided not to read it, Ed, I'd feel guilty

about having dragged you into this.

You forgot mine.

Hey, where'd you get that?

Magic.

Anyone want some toast?

And I need to book in time to explain some stuff to you.

But right now I need to find Perry.

Who knows?

Always missing in action when there's dirty work to be done.

I thought about it a lot last night, and the bottom line is, I'm staying.

Bring it!

Was it me saying you could actually beat us, or was it that reverse psychology

stuff?

I'm so scared, but I'm angry now too, and I think the anger will win.

Your cape sounds like a complete idiot.

I got good at kiteboarding because he said I wouldn't be strong enough.

Maybe now I'll get good at surfing because of him too.

Anyway, thank you.

It's okay.

There's just one other thing.

I need the points back. Simmer took off me last night. I have no idea what you

could possibly mean. I mean, we go to Simmer, explain to him what happened,

then I get back the points.

But that would mean he then takes the points from me.

Yep.

It's never going to happen.

Isn't that unfair?

This is a competition.

It's not a game.

But maybe there's another way I can compensate you for taking the blame last

night.

Bedtime. Were my arms in a better position then?

I don't know. My brain froze up halfway through. We've been out here for hours.

Are my lips blue? They feel completely blue.

They look great.

Match the water.

I can't believe you.

You know from our folder, once I set my mind on something... I know, I know.

You've got determination the size of an elephant.

So come rain, hail, or alien invasion, we're out here till our crack is.

Tomorrow might be another day.

But today is mine.

One is...
