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

I won't aim for your head. Get down.

You're the only one. Get down.

Only one thing now stood between us.

and the finals of the Solar Blue Circle.

That was our end -of -year school result.

Just like the lottery, you hope to get lucky, and the numbers will pull you

away.

You did it!

Sixty -six percent!

I told you you'd make it! It's always a party going to be, but a whole year's

result to celebrate.

Hold on, aren't you, like, forgetting someone?

Didn't he come out with you?

Edge? I guess he's still inside.

Well done, Judy.

Congratulations.

So, Heath, lucky last, eh?

Mr Savin, if you're going to foul me, I'd rather you make it quick.

Oh, actually, it's not that simple.

Why not?

You're right on the line, Heath.

I could give you 49%, which means you'll fail, or I could give you 50 % and

you'll pass.

So my future's in your hands, then?

No, mate, you can't palm it off that easily.

Your future's squarely where it's always been.

Entirely with you.

Something's wrong. Where is he?

Relax, boy. He'll be here.

Why is he taking so long? Well, somebody has to be last, don't they?

Heath just drew the short straw.

The real problem with you, Heath, is that you push your luck.

Well, the way I see it, Mr. Savin, is that's what life is all about.

Go with the flow and luck decides whether you win or lose. Yes, but you

put yourself in a position to take advantage of the luck when it comes.

Like? Like homework and study, so you're ready to get lucky in exam.

Like practice and training, so you can get lucky in a surf comp.

Maybe. Let's put your theory to the test, shall we?

Heads you pass, tails you fail.

You're going to toss a coin to determine my result.

I agree. Not exactly education department policy. But if it's tails,

over for me with solar blue. That's luck, Heath, right?

Right. Here's to your future.

Let's see what luck's delivered you this time, shall we, Heath?

I'm going in. Why? You can't do that. He might have fell and snuck out the back

way. I just want to see if he's still there. Bye. I won't be long. I'll

Bye.

Well?

Exactly 50%. But it's a pass.

I think we should go somewhere totally cool.

Somewhere where we can dance.

And I'm not saying we have to go formal, but no baggy t -shirts and definitely

no shorts. The Star Queen has spoken.

That's right.

Has anyone seen the iron that was missing yesterday?

Etra's using it on his hair.

You iron your hair? Sure, man. I don't iron my hair. Judging from the mood

I'd say you all passed. I didn't want to do it. Well, except Matt. Matt?

I've got to get him to attention.

Congratulations.

And our son and I got credit awards. Well done.

Yeah, they're double socks.

Hey, just in time, you two. We're issuing invitations to the big night

all part.

That's fantastic news.

Unreal. 100 % qualification for the final circle. And tonight we are ready

rock. And you guys have to join us. You too, Gillian.

We appreciate the offer, but we might give it a miss. No, we want you to come.

Yeah, we'll pick a place you'll like. I'm sorry, guys. What I mean is I don't

think any of us should go out tonight.

Including you. How come?

Deb, we're about to become Simo's prisoners for a whole week of training

the comp.

What is the problem with going out tonight?

Well, there's been a slight hiccup. What hiccup? The tail end of a cyclone is

going to hit the entire east coast next week.

Andrew Mitchell has told us to move the whole comp forward. How far forward?

Tomorrow. Tomorrow? You've got to be kidding me. He can't do that. He runs

Blue. He can do whatever he wants, Edge. Why can't he wait for a few more days?

Well, he's going overseas and he wants everything finalised before he leaves.

Guys, it's sudden.

It's not as bad as you think. It's worse. None of us will be prepared

This is the biggest comp of our lives. Yeah, we need to get ourselves ready.

Wrong. You are all as fit and ready as you will ever be.

You've been in daily training for a year.

Yeah, but what about mentally? We have to get into the right frame of mind.

Think positive.

That's all you've got to do.

The fact is, guys, whether we like it or not, the final is tomorrow.

And we have to live with it.

What are you doing?

Getting my stuff together.

Perfect, dude. Not an expedition to the Amazon.

Listen, I know you think I'm being my usual antisocial self.

We wouldn't think that, Edge.

Yeah, well, I just need to be on my own, okay, guys?

Sorry, but it's all about winning now, and I aim to give it my best shot.

I can't do that if I'm swapping small talk with you two.

No offence.

Good luck, huh?

Yeah, you too, man.

Yeah. Good luck, Edge.

Yep.

Guess he's right.

It's all or nothing now.

Are you sure this is really necessary, Beck? I know it seems kind of stupid,

I've been training for this weekend my whole life, and suddenly it's here, and

it's going to be really hard for all of us.

Suddenly our best friends have become our biggest enemies.

But only until this comp's over.

Only until the comp's over.

I'm going to go all out for this, Perry.

I'd never speak to you again if you didn't.

Where's that going?

Back to our folks' place.

Why? Need some space, I suppose.

So that's why Edge is camping out? Guess so.

What about you?

What about me? Do you need some space too?

Listen.

When you're used to sharing a room with five sisters, this place gives me more

space than I've had in my whole life.

So I don't need to move out there? Don't you dare.

I'd freak if I had a whole room to myself.

The worst thing about big events is always the night before.

That's when the gremlins come.

When the doubts set in.

I'll never beat the others.

They're so good.

Not even in the race.

Am I good enough to win tomorrow?

I mean, really good enough.

Come on, Anna. You've been in plenty of competition.

You know how to win.

Stop thinking about it.

I just need that lucky break.

One good, lucky break.

I will win tomorrow.

I will win.

Losing is not a possibility.

I've beaten them before.

I know I can beat them again. I know it.

I should be planning my tactics.

But I'm so sleepy.

I have the weather's knife tomorrow.

Nice day for it.

Doesn't get any better.

How do you think they'll go?

You mean, who do I think will win?

Yeah.

I can't pick it. Most years it's easy to see the standouts. This year, any one

of them could win.

He's taking it pretty seriously.

He's determined to win.

Yeah, but this killer karate thing's taking it a bit too far, don't you

Winners always take it too far, Deb.

That's what makes them winners.

on Blue Water Beach for the last time is the final showdown. And the results

would change two of our lives forever.

Okay, guys, listen up.

It's business as usual.

Three heaps. The winner will be whoever scores the highest total.

This is what the whole year's been about.

Any questions?

Okay.

Andrew just wants to say a few quick words.

Andrew?

Don't worry, guys. I'm not going to lay a big speech on you. I just want to

remind you.

But right now, there's nothing between you. You're all in a position to win.

good luck.

Hey, girls are up first.

Take a chance when I take a shot. Bitches of you. I crease the lens and I

the stop. Bitches of you. A focus one is happiness.

Bitches of you. A two plus one is a crowded mess.

And I dream of a day I'm so going to shoot.

I want to see you milk every wife out there.

So,

Andrew? What do you think?

I think you've outdone yourself, Timo. The standard is fantastic.

Well, as much as I'd like to take all the credit myself, there's a fair amount

of natural talent.

We'll go straight into the next round and then break for lunch. Is that okay?

Yeah, let's get into it.

Okay, girls, let's go. Second heat's about to start.

Anyone pick a winner from? Oh, you must either.

Okay,

bring him in.

Any clear winners emerging yet?

If there is, I can't pick them.

Well, the judges scored one. Well, there's only half a point between the

them. That would be embarrassing. It might be a seven -way tie.

Then what do we do?

I wouldn't panic just yet.

Last eight normally sorts them out.

Look at the poor things.

They must be going through hell.

One more heat. Come on, Beth. You can do it. You have to do it.

Don't give in, Perry.

Your arms don't really ache. Your legs aren't really falling off.

Take a breath.

Breathe steady.

Hold your rhythm.

This isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I don't know why, but I'm really enjoying it.

You're nearly there, Edge.

20 minutes and you'll have climbed the mountain.

Come on, Matt. Stay focused.

One last set of weights.

It's all down to luck now.

Whoever gets the break, that's who'll win.

Hey guys, I just want you to know that surfing out there was awesome today.

You were all fantastic from where I sat.

You weren't so bad yourself, Miss Star Queen.

And whoever wins, I just want to let you know that I still think you're all

beautiful and I love you all.

Yeah, I love you all too, but I love myself the most. And I just want you to

know that, you know, I'm going to kill anyone that dares to beat me.

Well, I don't think you're going to have to wait too long to find out who lives

or dies.

First thing I want to do is congratulate you on what was probably the best surf

off in the academy's history.

But sadly, there can only be two winners.

And I guess you're pretty desperate to find out who they are.

Okay, it's a party, so we'll try and keep the speeches short.

It's been a big day.

And a big year for Solar Blue, as you all know.

I'd just like to say that it's been tremendous.

So we'd like to thank...

come forward and accept their official invitations to next year's pro circuit.

You're good to talk to me now that you're a superhero.

Get off. I've been looking for you, big Gumby. Hey, I need to get personal.

Mr. Savin called by after the final.

He said to give you this as a memento.

Why would he give me this?

Maybe it's the two heads.

Huh? It's got heads on both sides.

See?

He also said to remind you that good luck is all about good preparation.

What's so funny?

I hate to admit it, but I think Mr. Seven's right.

I might have to change my mind about something.

Cool. So are you prepared enough to try a lock on the dance floor?

Totally prepared.

I've been prepared for nothing else all night.

So how does it feel to be a winner?

Really strange.

I thought it would be good, but all I can think about is leaving all this

behind.

So you'll actually miss some things here.

I'll actually miss a one here.

Maybe you can still see that someone when you're here in town.

I really hope so, because I plan on coming back here a lot.

Did you realise that we're a couple of losers, Matt?

Well, if this is losing, I think I can handle it.

Hey, that college you were thinking of going to down in Melbourne, were you

serious about that?

Yeah, why?

Well, my uncle owns a company down there and he's offered me a job.

You're kidding.

Well, there's some good breaks down south.

Maybe a change of scene might help my technique.

There you go.

Or unless I'll cramp your style.

What style?

Haven't you noticed? I don't have any style.

Maybe I could help you get some.

That is the best offer I've ever had.

So, how long until you go back to Germany?

Actually, I found a very good kiteboarding school in Manly.

What's he saying on?

It's two months before the season starts in Europe, and Stephen said I could

stay, so... That's fantastic.

I'm so happy.

And I'm happy that you're happy.

Am I wasting my breath here?

Or do you subscribe to my...

I think I'm about to crash. Looks like a fly already has.

Yeah. Trouble with champions?

No stamina.

You want some help?

Nah, I'll be right.

Just get the cleaner cars, make sure he doesn't vacuum up off the floor.

Fly, come on, wake up, you two.

We've got something to do.

What, now?

Yes, now. Come on, get up.

Anna. Anna, wake up.

Shh.

Sorry, we need you to join us.

Don't wake Jo.

What's wrong with you lot?

Can't you take the party anymore?

All I can say, Angie, is this better be good.

Yeah, since when does being a champion give you the right to rule over our

fleet? Come on, you grumps. This is important.

Who can tell me what this is?

Well, it's what we in the English -speaking world call a door.

You woke us all up to ask us that.

No. I woke you all up because this is the last time we'll be together as a

group. Ever.

And? And we thought before we split, we should do one last thing together. Are

you suggesting we gang tackle the door?

That's a bit savage. No, it is.

On this side of the door is our past.

And on that side, it's our future.

We thought maybe we could all step into the future together.

I know it sounds kind of corny.

But I just thought we had to do something.

It is corny, then.

It's nice, too.

Yeah, I think it's a great idea.

Me, too.

Come on, guys.

What do you say?

Hey, I love corn.

Corn's my middle name.

Me, too.

Put corn around, count me in. All right, everybody in a line. Let's drink up.

Futures are only one step away.

Okay, guys, there's a big bad world out there ready and waiting.

Let's step out to meet it together. I don't think I want to go.

Yes, you do fly.

Okay, everyone, on the count of three.

You're the only one.
