There's too much choice and not enough time.

Aiming for the head, get down.

You're the only one.

Ouch. He blew it again.

How many is that?

Stop counting.

Maybe we should go out there.

Drag him in.

It's Corey.

When he's perfecting a move, perfect just isn't good enough.

Well, call me picky, but perfect's still a long way off.

No, I think my dad's finally lost his time.

He emailed pictures.

Buying a 500 -year -old French villa doesn't sound that crazy.

500 years?

Yeah, the King Louis was still in single figures.

Well, that's history.

But it's 100km to the coast and doesn't have any inside toilet.

Well, my parents wouldn't even look at a place unless it had four bathrooms, all

inside. Are the laces near the beach?

Not anymore. They bought a three -storey pile in Zone Lake.

Zone Lake?

No surf when I visit.

You wouldn't have that problem, would you?

Mum's still next to the beach, down south?

Yeah. Yeah, wake up in the morning, open the window, check out the break.

Cool.

Best view on the south coast. Best place in Seavista Avenue.

Sounds like a great house.

Make a million bucks for the circuit, maybe I'll buy a place, eh?

Speaking of inside loose, you reckon it's safe to go back in the house?

Don't go anywhere near the bathrooms.

Don't even go upstairs.

What do you mean?

Plumber said a bit of a job, two blocks, 20 minutes.

Yeah, Plumber's Cove. What he meant was blocked sewer, corroded water pipe,

booked my next Bali holiday.

There's still no water. I haven't had lunch yet.

No one's had any lunch.

You can pick something up on the road.

I'm kicking you all out.

It can't be that bad.

You haven't seen the bathrooms.

Trust me, it is that bad.

Get out of here for the weekend.

Find a motel or something.

A motel.

Or something.

Actually, Bali's not a bad idea.

There are some cheap fly. We are not going to Bali. That is a rumour started

fly. Why not?

Surf left point break at Uluwatu. Yeah, I found you a nice left point break.

Don't worry.

Sandwiches for lunch, sausage for dinner, eggs for breakfast.

That's right, folks. We're camping out at Taylor's Beach.

Why? And when it swells up, there's good waves. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know

Taylor's well. I've surfed the Henshetons.

Oh, I need fast overhead waves. I'm working on my battery.

Yeah, we've noticed, mate. Give it a rest, eh? Leave it to the experts.

Hey, isn't Lindara just south of there?

Um, yeah, about half an hour on. We can go see your mum.

Surprise her.

Nah, she's got people staying with her.

We'll be so close.

Must want to see her.

Nah, I don't want to have to. We're not this weekend.

Okay, so we're not jet -setting to Denver, sir? I beg to drive a seat. No,

no, fly. Hang on a sec. Practice is everything. I think you've said once or

twice. But I need the highway hours.

Can't be.

All right.

Enjoy.

But if fly is driving, I want no shouting, no food fights, no backseat

You clear?

Yeah. See you Sunday night.

Bye.

She's taking us north, I'm sure.

Either that, or the sun's going to set in the east.

Will you all shut up? Yeah, no backseat driving.

Fly, what's your speed? It's only 80 here.

Hello?

So, what's your secret?

The Air 360.

Said you're an expert, I can't say I've noticed.

I was telling your land mate.

No, I can't say I've tried an air 360 too often. Yeah.

That's why I'm working so hard on it. I want to own the move.

I'll nail it. You watch.

Go for it.

You know it's the North Ocean pool on the point, hasn't it?

In your house on the beach, Jamie said.

Yeah. Yeah, it's right on the beach.

Hey, does anyone have a tide chart? Taylor sucks at the sandbars showing.

Here.

Great spot to be, mate. Good call.

Worth the drive, eh? Oh, yeah.

Can we hit the beach yet?

Mate, the beach will be there in the morning. Let's get the tents up and the

gifts out, all right?

How's the ladies' pavilion going?

Is this some kind of test or something? It makes no sense.

Whoa, yeah.

You're right, Amy. It's a test. You put these through the pockets at the top and

it'll hold your roof up.

I've done this before.

Unfair. You haven't.

I've never camped in my life.

My parents are strictly resort -only people.

This is fun.

Kind of roughing it.

We have air mattresses. Right, Brooke?

It's good to slum it once in a while, which reminds me, do you think Julie

packed enough food?

There's always fresh fish if she didn't.

Come on, Eric, give us a hand.

We're sharing.

Cool.

How did this happen?

We tossed the coin.

You lost.

So, where have you made his block?

You choose.

Sure hope the surf's worth it.

Wow. This is seriously bad.

Who stole our left brake?

I have never seen it this windblown.

Luck of the draw, I guess.

Come on, guys. We've got the whole East Coast.

Go to Landara. See if it's better there.

Nah, it'll be the same as here. Why waste our time?

Don't be a waste of time. Go see your mum.

Dying to meet her.

She's got friends down.

Eric, if she finds out you were this close and didn't visit, she'll kill you.

Mums are like that.

Mums are like that.

Don't worry about it. We'll phone ahead on the road. You can use the mobile.

No, no, no, no.

Let's surprise her.

Okay. Well, we'll take the boards. That's where I might come up after

Hey, if I'm driving, I'll need a serious breakfast.

At last, we get to check out the famous Tanner Beach House.

Best view on the South Coast.

I'm turning the key. Nothing's happening.

Got the right key?

Give me a break. You have a go if you like. I'll look under the bonnet. What

bonnet? You know what I mean.

Anyone know anything about cars?

I can change the oil on a tractor.

No, that's a no.

Mike, you good with engines? Sorry, still on my maybe one day lift.

It's probably got a flat battery. Did you leave the lights on last night? No,

and you were so sitting in the back when we tri -phoned.

Can we phone to road service?

I'll go for a walk, see if I can get a signal.

So what? No Lindara trip? No wave hunting?

Sorry, Eric.

Guess this means we won't get to see your mum this time.

Well, next time, eh?

Eric must be so disappointed.

I don't know how I'd feel if it was my mum. Still, there's nothing we can do

about it.

Not necessarily.

What?

Amy? I could catch the bus to Lindara and find Eric's mum.

Imagine looking at his face if she turned up here for lunch. It'd be

Do you think you could keep him busy for a couple of hours?

No worries.

Leave it to me.

Wish me luck.

Looking at it isn't going to help.

Nothing else to do.

I'm supposed to be practising.

Yeah, 360?

I think it should move.

Or it will be.

And you can actually do it?

Yeah, thanks for that.

Have you talked to Simmo about it?

Sure. I've been through the theory with him. He agrees I'm right.

Timing, footwork, balance, it's all there.

On paper?

In surf, I know what I have to do.

The routine's in my head.

It's like a program running in the background.

But when I hit the wave, re -entry it.

It's too choppy.

Thinking it through over and over won't make a difference.

What else is there?

Come with me.

Me too.

We've got something much more exciting to do.

Bushwalking. Yeah, why not?

Eric knows the area so well, I thought he could show us around.

Right, Eric?

Sure, why not? There's some caves up near the cliff and there's these middens

out on the point.

Middens.

Yeah, that's really doing it for me. Oh, come on, Mike, you'll love it. The

fresh air, the exercise.

The spiders, the snakes.

Stop being such a city boy. Come on, it'll be fun.

I'll go check with Amy, see if she wants to come. Oh, I already spoke to her.

She's going to hang around here.

You sure? Might just go check, see if... Don't bother.

She's got a book to finish for an English report on Monday.

Oh, righto.

All right, let's do it.

Did you get through on the phone?

Eventually, I had to climb a tree to get a signal.

The road service uses a mechanic out of Jasper Creek, and he's not answering his

phone. Up to us, then.

My mum's car did this one.

It was just solenoid.

Oh, yeah?

You know what a solenoid looks like? I know what my mum's solenoid looks like.

And what will you do if you find it?

I'll tighten it, check the wires. I don't know. No. First thing we should do

check the battery, tighten the contacts.

It's not the battery. The battery's fine, I bet you. Well, it's not the

either. The mechanic will tell us that, then we'll know.

I'm going to tighten the contacts.

Fine. Go ahead, waste your time.

Fine. Fine.

Fine.

I thought fish liked a juicy bit of worm or a prawn.

No challenge. You might as well buy them at the fish shop. Deep fried.

So you're just going to catch it with a bit of wire and a feather?

That's the art.

The fish then gets lunch and they bite.

It doesn't sound like you. You're more of a jump in and wrestle the fish

barehanded kind of girl.

I might be if I thought that would work.

Some things have to be approached from a different angle.

Whoa.

Tell me how you did that.

I can't tell you. I just showed you.

Have a go.

Okay.

This much line out.

Backward momentum.

And then... Isn't that how you

do it?

I'm guessing not.

There's a bit of art in the casting too.

Okay. I'm seeing what you're doing. Give me room.

This is weird. I'm looking for the best house in the street.

There's no houses here at all.

That was a good midden.

Yeah, sure.

Lots of shells.

You can see why the original owners liked it.

It's good out here.

Hey look, maybe we should head back. We don't want to wander too far and get

lost. Yeah, I think I've seen enough.

No way.

There's nothing to do back there until lunch.

So, you said there were caves.

This way, right?

Yeah.

I took a wrong turn.

Except, I didn't even take a turn.

Morning.

Hi.

Um, is there another Seavist Avenue in Lindara?

Not that I know of, but I've only been here 15 years.

Right. I'm looking for Mrs. Tanner.

She's supposed to live in Sea Vista, but... Oh, that'd be Ronnie Tanner.

You know her?

Of course.

Her place is down by the point, number three.

It's right at the end. You can't miss it.

Thanks. At the end of the weekend It's hot

in home At the

end

Eric didn't want us here.

He lives in a caravan park and he didn't want us to know.

Excuse me.

You alright?

You look a bit lost.

Yeah, fine thanks. Just heading back to the bus stop.

Oh, you'll have a bit of a wait. Next bus is until five.

This afternoon?

It's a weekend timetable. One bus in, one bus out.

Right.

Is there someone to phone?

You can use mine if you want.

You don't mind?

Of course not.

It's my van.

Best view on the south coast.

Best place in Seavik's Travenue.

I think I know your son.

Let you in on a secret?

I hated fly -fishing at first.

Gee, I can't understand that at all.

My dad made me fish. He's a total tragic.

And after a while I realised I was enjoying myself. I like where fishing

me. You like water?

I mean it relaxes me.

We all need to relax.

What am I doing wrong?

You're thinking too much.

Try to sense the rhythm of the cast.

It's about transferring energy from the rod to the fly line.

Simple physics. It shouldn't be this hard.

Will you shut up about physics for a minute and switch off the calculator?

Get into position.

Left foot forward.

Now close your eyes.

What? This is not about science. This is about feel.

Back cast.

Feet up, then stop.

Do the line loading the rod.

Then forward cast, feet up and stop.

Like a slingshot.

If I close my eyes, I can't see what I'm doing.

That's the whole idea.

Feel. Right.

Trust your instincts.

Hey, you're the boss.

Hey, did you see that? Not bad.

Next challenge, catch a fish.

Don't push it.

You know, you're just like Eric said.

I am?

He talks about you all the time.

This is some collection you've got here.

Eric must have really owned his beach. His hair was permanently wet for about

ten years.

Sit. I'll make you tea. Thanks.

So, how long have you been here?

We used to have a little place up in town.

Then we lost Eric's dad when he said Eric was two.

Wow.

Bet he loved growing up so close to the water.

Close, all right.

Very close at high tide.

Eric said you're from the Gold Coast.

A bit different to here.

Yeah, very different.

I drove him up that way a few times for junior comps.

It's a long way.

Things parents do for their kids, eh?

Still, very quiet around here without him.

It would be.

I think any place Eric is, it's definitely not quiet.

Did you come looking for me, Amy?

Is Eric all right?

He's fine.

It's great, actually. We're all camping at Taylor's.

That's just up the road.

I wonder why he never said.

Last minute thing. I just thought I'd pull up and say hi.

Try that.

I told you it wasn't the battery.

Yeah, well, it wasn't the solenoid either.

That we could see.

No road service yet?

No.

It's like we might be stuck here till tomorrow.

I guess there's no chance of getting to Lindara now, then, eh? How was the hike?

Great. We got halfway to the caves, and then Brooke decided she wanted lunch.

Well, it is that time, isn't it?

Um, anyone seen Amy around?

Have any of you been watching the beach?

Dress up, guys. Time to get wet.

Got a visitor.

Mum, hi.

Heard you're in the area.

Hello.

I'd have called, but, you know, the phones aren't working.

Oh, lucky Amy came to see me. I would have missed you otherwise.

Amy.

Surprise.

I gave her a lift back. Thought I'd get to see you and meet your new friends.

Bit of a problem, I'm afraid. The waves are calling.

Oh, no, that's good. I'll come and watch the show.

It is okay, isn't it?

Meeting your friend.

Yeah, of course.

Come on.

Nice

shave.

Lucky that hike was only 100km.

Oh, Gwyn.

There you go again.

What? You're running that Air 360 program in your head, aren't you? That's

serve. It's not about science. It's about feel, remember?

Go fishing, you man.

They're all very good.

Is it fun working with them?

Yeah, they're a great bunch of kids.

Of course, they know it all already.

It goes without saying.

Do you want to join

us for lunch?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Of course, there won't be any flash. The kids are out surfing and I should be

helping fly with the van.

How's that going?

Yeah, really well.

We've been playing around with the engine for two hours and we still

a clue.

Maybe it's not the engine.

Well, like, if the motor's not ticking over, it could be a wiring problem.

Where would that be?

Near the ignition, under the dash, sometimes wires come loose here.

I didn't know you were into cars.

No, I've been reading a lot.

Eric's full of surprises, ain't he, mate?

Well, I might go and check the wiring.

Hey, check out Corey. He's been knocking himself out trying to do a 360.

He's at it again, eh? Looks like it.

I think you'll nail it this time.

I've got a good feeling.

Yeah!

Woo -hoo -hoo!

Yes!

All right.

One loose wire. I thought we were going to get chopped out of here.

I wouldn't mind another night here. There's no reason to go back.

It's just hot now.

Well, there is school.

I think that's the reason.

I had my doubts, but Simo is a genius. Why fight it? He nailed that wire.

I did have some help from an expert.

Compliment accepted.

I didn't mean you.

Hey.

There.

I kind of sprung your mum on you before.

I should say sorry.

It's no need.

So you see where we live.

Bet it was the best view on the south coast.

You were right.

Stuffed up.

I let you guys think it was a palace. I should have said something.

It doesn't matter.

You stuff up.

You guys are used to nice things. Mega bathrooms.

So what?

Your mum's awesome.

And she loves you.

It's all that counts.

Anyway, I reckon it'd be cool to live in a caravan.

You'd have to fold down the kitchen table to get into bed.

So? You'd have to sleep and eat at the same time anyway.

If it's going off at Taylor's, it'll be twice as good at Lindara.

So you're all invited back to Eric's place for a surf and then a barbecue.

Good.

Good ride, Eric.

Best view on the South Coast.

Look at that beach. This is where you grew up. Pretty cool.

It's like we're on holidays 24 -7.

Give me a break. It's a complete pain in the bum when eight people come over for

dinner. We'll work something out, though. I'll come help you.

Now, guys, there are four bathrooms. They're all in the amenities block over

there, okay?

Talk about a surfing head start.

It's almost unfair.

Right. Um,

Samo, about the van's wire.

I know.

Um...

Now, I might have accidentally on purpose loosened it.

Uh -huh.

You want to tell me why?

I just thought... I thought it would be better if we stayed at Taylor.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

It's cool.

But when we get back, the band will need a wash.

That'll be you, my friend.

Everyone hold everything.

I've got Eric's baby photo.

There's too much choice and not enough
