1
00:00:01,230 --> 00:00:04,670
Blue Water Beach is one of those places
that sucks you right in.

2
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:09,770
Every surfer's on a high, every jogger's
blitzed out, even the dogs think

3
00:00:09,770 --> 00:00:10,770
they're in heaven.

4
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:15,530
As for me, I guess I just can't imagine
anywhere else I'd rather be.

5
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:21,170
That's me, doing my daily swim. I have
this thing, see, where I have to swim in

6
00:00:21,170 --> 00:00:24,950
order to clear my brain out. Some people
sing, some people watch DVD.

7
00:00:25,610 --> 00:00:27,110
Me? I swim.

8
00:00:28,139 --> 00:00:31,880
Every day for the whole year I've been
here, I've come up out of the water with

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,060
one single thought.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,000
How lucky I am to be here.

11
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:38,420
Today's different though.

12
00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:41,340
Today it's all about to finish and you
want to know something?

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,100
I really don't know if I can handle it.

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,340
But hey, I'm getting way ahead of myself
here.

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,900
Let's rewind this thing before I give
everything away and spoil it all

16
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:52,900
completely.

17
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:57,690
Now, the deal with this blog is that we
have to go all the way back to the

18
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:01,590
start. Sorry, I didn't make the rules.
That's how it is, okay? What I can tell

19
00:01:01,590 --> 00:01:04,110
you, though, is that this year has been
totally awesome.

20
00:01:04,489 --> 00:01:06,050
Trust me, it rocks.

21
00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:42,950
If I'm completely honest, and let's face
it, honesty is my biggest fault.

22
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:46,850
Sounds weird, I know, but when you get
to know me, you'll get what I mean.

23
00:01:47,570 --> 00:01:51,450
But my first date blew at a beach didn't
go exactly as I'd imagined.

24
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:57,670
In fact, if I was scoring it out of ten,
I'd probably give it about minus three.

25
00:01:58,170 --> 00:01:59,170
Thank you.

26
00:02:00,510 --> 00:02:02,810
Thank you. You're welcome. See you
later. Bye.

27
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:22,470
Cassie Cometti here. I'm just calling to
let you know that I've arrived and I'm

28
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:24,170
at the Blue Water Beach bus stop.

29
00:02:24,950 --> 00:02:27,930
Beach is fabulous, by the way. I'm so
excited to be here.

30
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:31,590
Anyway, I guess I'll just hang here
until you come and click me.

31
00:02:31,810 --> 00:02:32,810
Thanks. Bye.

32
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:39,330
Okay, Cassie, they're busy people. You
can't expect them to sit by the phone

33
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:42,450
day waiting for you to call. Just relax.

34
00:02:43,470 --> 00:02:46,650
At the same time as I was doing my best
not to feel panicky.

35
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,140
Some serious stuff was about to go down
at Solar Blue.

36
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:54,280
Naturally, we didn't find out about any
of this till months later.

37
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,380
Just as well, I reckon.

38
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,260
Otherwise, I'd probably have done a bunk
and been on the next bus home to Mum.

39
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Mr Lee?

40
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:05,020
Rebecca Sanderson?

41
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,480
Beck. Unless you're my grandfather or
with the tax department.

42
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,080
Afraid I don't qualify on either of
those.

43
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:16,820
Angus. Angus Lee. Thanks very much for
coming along, Beck. Not a problem. You

44
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:18,380
mentioned you were with Solar Blue,
right?

45
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,400
Kind of, yes.

46
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,980
Kind of? Look, it's a bit complicated.

47
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,080
Why don't we go up to the house? We can
talk much better there.

48
00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:30,420
Whoa.

49
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,800
What's all this?

50
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
When did Simo start getting security
conscious?

51
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,440
He hasn't.

52
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:38,760
I mean, Mr. Simmons isn't with the
Academy anymore.

53
00:03:39,180 --> 00:03:40,180
You're kidding.

54
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:43,320
Please, let's go up to the house. I'll
explain everything there.

55
00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:48,420
Come on, someone answer.

56
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,220
Why is my entire family technologically
hopeless?

57
00:03:52,740 --> 00:03:57,000
Mum has a mobile but never turns it on.
Nobody ever checks to see if the

58
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
answering machine is working.

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,980
For all they know, I could be trapped
under an avalanche in Antarctica.

60
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:05,060
Are you right there?

61
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Sure, fine, thanks.

62
00:04:08,769 --> 00:04:10,030
You don't look fine.

63
00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:11,888
I'm sorry?

64
00:04:11,890 --> 00:04:14,330
I don't know. It just looks like you've
been waiting here a while. Either that

65
00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:15,330
or you've been chucked out of home.

66
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:17,230
Did I ask your opinion?

67
00:04:17,529 --> 00:04:20,970
No, but... My family, who you wouldn't
know the first thing about, would never

68
00:04:20,970 --> 00:04:22,089
throw a child out of home.

69
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:23,370
Just trying to be helpful.

70
00:04:23,470 --> 00:04:25,810
Yeah, well, if I want your help, I'll
ask for it. Got it?

71
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:27,230
Loud and clear.

72
00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:29,830
Have a nice day.

73
00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:39,680
Take your backpack, have the loads of
apps drop off.

74
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:41,260
Yeah.

75
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Hey.

76
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,540
See what I mean about how honest I am?

77
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:50,920
A sensible person would have let him
skate off out of her life, but oh no, I

78
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,140
have to do the right thing.

79
00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:54,860
I knew it.

80
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:56,560
Now he thinks I want to be friends.

81
00:04:57,020 --> 00:04:59,340
I've got to get out of here before this
gets out of hand.

82
00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:12,210
I'd like a vegetarian, please.

83
00:05:13,030 --> 00:05:14,030
Well, thanks.

84
00:05:15,210 --> 00:05:17,410
I'm at the Blue Water Beach bus stop.

85
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:20,430
OK.

86
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:21,910
Sorry about the mess.

87
00:05:22,130 --> 00:05:24,330
The painters will be back this afternoon
to clean up.

88
00:05:25,490 --> 00:05:26,610
You've got a phone message.

89
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:28,790
Oh, I think they can't wait.

90
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:30,930
Probably for the painters anyway.

91
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:35,350
Now, I know these guys have left some
coffee around here somewhere.

92
00:05:36,010 --> 00:05:39,310
I guess this place has a lot of memories
for you, eh? Yep.

93
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,720
Sort of. It's been a while, though.

94
00:05:42,980 --> 00:05:47,420
And since then, top of your class in
your sports admin course are now doing

95
00:05:47,420 --> 00:05:49,780
excellent job helping run the Athletics
League.

96
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,360
Done your homework.

97
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,680
Well, it's my job.

98
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,540
What is going on around here?

99
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:57,880
Why is the place wrapped up and what has
happened to Thimo?

100
00:05:58,460 --> 00:06:00,700
I work for the Matsusito Corporation.

101
00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:02,220
Heard of them?

102
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,840
They're a large international company
with interests in many fields, one of

103
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,000
which is now surfing.

104
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,680
The only problem is we know nothing
about the sport.

105
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,340
So we decided to buy a company that was
already established.

106
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,300
We looked at Solar Blue, we liked what
we saw, and we made an offer. Last week

107
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:21,059
they accepted.

108
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:24,440
So why didn't you keep Simmo? He's been
running the place for years. He'd be

109
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,440
perfect for you.

110
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,900
Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

111
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,520
And we decided we wanted somebody
younger, somebody more suited to the

112
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,520
wanted to project.

113
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,720
What does that mean?

114
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:37,580
Well, what that means, Bex Anderson,
is...

115
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:39,330
I'm offering you a job.

116
00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:45,970
Hi.

117
00:06:46,890 --> 00:06:47,890
Hey,

118
00:06:57,330 --> 00:06:59,750
listen. Do you know where the Solar Bill
Academy is? Sure.

119
00:06:59,990 --> 00:07:03,190
If I give you the change, do you reckon
you could give me a lift there?

120
00:07:03,450 --> 00:07:04,450
No problem, Anne.

121
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:24,740
You seriously want me to run the
academy?

122
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:26,219
That's the idea.

123
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:27,220
But why me?

124
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:30,180
You've been through here as a
competitor, so you know what it's all

125
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,940
You know surfing, and you're a very good
administrator.

126
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,640
How do you know that?

127
00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:35,980
We asked your boss.

128
00:07:36,260 --> 00:07:37,340
You talked to my boss?

129
00:07:37,660 --> 00:07:38,780
Well, he was very complimentary.

130
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,900
Said that this was a great opportunity
for you.

131
00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:43,960
You guys really are thorough.

132
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,200
We have to be.

133
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,720
We've invested a lot of money in this.

134
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:48,420
Here.

135
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Take this home and have a good look at
it.

136
00:07:50,420 --> 00:07:51,279
What is it?

137
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Your contract.

138
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,480
I think you'll find it's a very good
deal. Well, when do you want an answer?

139
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Well, we've got six teenagers coming in
tomorrow afternoon, so how's first thing

140
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
in the morning? Tomorrow?

141
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,500
Bec, look, I know this is all quite
sudden. Yeah, you could say that again.

142
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,400
we've had to get everything together
very quickly.

143
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,440
Look, it's a fantastic chance for you.

144
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,480
Please think about it. Seriously.

145
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
You saw this as the right place?

146
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,540
Yeah. See, right there. It's all blue.

147
00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:36,960
Thank you so much. I can't tell you how
grateful I am. No worries.

148
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:39,059
Oh, Kathy.

149
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,120
Yeah, Peter. Oh, yeah, right. Thanks.

150
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Ciao.

151
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:50,960
Normally, I don't expect people to make
a fuss of me.

152
00:08:51,380 --> 00:08:55,410
But after two days of getting here in a
bath... You'd reckon they'd provide a

153
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:56,410
better welcome than this.

154
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:02,710
What is going on here?

155
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:07,970
I could never run this place on my own,
you know. Besides, the kids would need a

156
00:09:07,970 --> 00:09:09,890
full -time, experienced surfing coach.

157
00:09:10,170 --> 00:09:14,830
Absolutely. We've shortlisted two guys,
both ex -pros, both very keen to take

158
00:09:14,830 --> 00:09:15,449
the job.

159
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:17,410
They're running the interviews the day
after tomorrow.

160
00:09:17,790 --> 00:09:19,110
You've thought of everything, haven't
you?

161
00:09:19,530 --> 00:09:21,730
Well, like I said, we had to work very
hard.

162
00:09:22,540 --> 00:09:23,660
Look, I'll be up front.

163
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,020
It sounds like a fantastic opportunity,
but I could never accept.

164
00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:29,219
Why not?

165
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:32,980
Timo's been running the Academy for
years. He became like a second father to

166
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:35,500
some of us. I could never step in
knowing he'd been fired.

167
00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:37,080
Well, who said he was fired?

168
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,080
Oh, I thought... No way. We wanted him
to stay. It was his choice to leave.

169
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,040
We thought it was time for a change.

170
00:09:44,420 --> 00:09:46,360
Really? Not only that, it was his.

171
00:09:46,830 --> 00:09:49,310
recommendation that you should take the
job in the first place. What?

172
00:09:49,550 --> 00:09:52,210
I said that we'd have rocks in our heads
if we didn't hire you.

173
00:09:52,750 --> 00:09:53,850
I think I said that.

174
00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:56,230
Now, any other questions?

175
00:09:56,770 --> 00:09:57,770
Not for the moment.

176
00:09:57,870 --> 00:09:59,290
Okay. Come on then, I'll give you a
lift.

177
00:09:59,670 --> 00:10:00,870
Oh, it's okay, I'm in the car park.

178
00:10:02,990 --> 00:10:03,990
Hello?

179
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:05,990
I can't believe this.

180
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:08,910
Something seriously wrong is happening
here.

181
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,600
I think it's just us.

182
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,800
What are you doing here?

183
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:29,200
I was just about to ask you the same
question, actually.

184
00:10:29,540 --> 00:10:31,660
Stay where you are. Don't come any
closer.

185
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,280
What is your problem?

186
00:10:33,740 --> 00:10:36,700
Oh, I've seen the news, right? I do read
newspapers.

187
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,120
Well, congratulations.

188
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,120
Oh, so I know all about stalkers, okay?

189
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,360
What? Stalkers? You take one more step
and I'm calling triple zero. Listen, you

190
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640
have the wrong idea. I'm here for Solar
Blue.

191
00:10:49,460 --> 00:10:50,460
Oh, you are?

192
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Yes. I'm one of this year's intake.

193
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,420
Oh. Really? That's cool. So am I.

194
00:10:54,660 --> 00:10:57,260
Well, fine. Then we can work this out
together then. Well, hold it.

195
00:10:57,860 --> 00:10:58,860
How can you prove it?

196
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Why should I have to prove it? I have
just as much right to be here as you.

197
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,139
to think of it.

198
00:11:06,140 --> 00:11:07,420
Can you prove who you are?

199
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,000
You should have a letter, right? From
Paula Blue? Right. And you? Well, I'll

200
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,400
show you mine if you show me yours.

201
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,880
Fine.

202
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:22,460
Mine's in my pack out the front.

203
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:24,030
Mine too.

204
00:11:25,850 --> 00:11:27,510
Well, I'll lead the way then, shall I?

205
00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:30,270
Okay, I know what you're thinking.

206
00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:35,270
I was overreacting, right? But here I am
in this strange place where I'm

207
00:11:35,270 --> 00:11:38,910
supposed to spend the next year of my
life and it's all closed up and the only

208
00:11:38,910 --> 00:11:42,550
person around is this boy who keeps
popping up out of nowhere and you've got

209
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:44,230
admit, kind of freaky.

210
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:46,150
The solar blue folder, right?

211
00:11:46,670 --> 00:11:50,890
See, that's me, Adam Bridge, 34 Ocean
Avenue, Kawara Bay. New South Wales,

212
00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:52,170
Australia, the Earth.

213
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,560
The solar system.

214
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,500
Satisfied? But Hannah, I know that
you're really him. I mean, you could

215
00:11:57,500 --> 00:12:00,940
stolen that. You could have forged it.
Forged it? Why would I do that?

216
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,800
I don't know. There are some seriously
wacko people going around, right?

217
00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:08,660
And I've seen them. Yeah, yeah, on TV
and in the papers. Exactly.

218
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,200
All right, well, maybe this will do it
for you.

219
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,980
Who are bird observers?

220
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,020
You watch birds, like, fly around and
sit in trees and stuff? Yeah, you have a

221
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:23,520
problem with that? No, no. No, no, I've
just never met anyone who actually

222
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,520
watches birds.

223
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:25,700
That's really interesting.

224
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:28,240
Thanks. I'll sleep a lot better tonight
knowing that you approve.

225
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Okay, your turn.

226
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Sorry? I've proved who I am, so... Oh,
yeah, right. Um, now, which one did I...

227
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:42,520
Yeah, I put it down the bottom here
because Mum made me put it with my surf

228
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,000
stuff. She's always asked me to be
properly organised, which I normally am,

229
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
no!

230
00:12:48,670 --> 00:12:51,850
Marnie, my little sister, took the
letter out to read. She's such a sticky

231
00:12:52,110 --> 00:12:59,070
And she put it in... I don't

232
00:12:59,070 --> 00:12:59,969
know where she put it.

233
00:12:59,970 --> 00:13:01,910
Don't worry about it. I'll take your
word for it.

234
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:03,750
Thanks.

235
00:13:04,070 --> 00:13:05,070
What's your name anyway?

236
00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:06,210
Oh, Cathy.

237
00:13:06,450 --> 00:13:08,010
Cathy Cometti from Point Baranock.

238
00:13:08,330 --> 00:13:09,330
Where's that?

239
00:13:09,450 --> 00:13:11,830
Near Adelaide, sort of south. You
haven't been there?

240
00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:13,550
I can't say I have.

241
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,330
It's cool. Not many people have. It's
kind of...

242
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,720
Out of the way.

243
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,480
Right.

244
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,080
So, here we are.

245
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,800
Yeah, for what it's worth.

246
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,200
It's not much of a welcome, is it?

247
00:13:28,820 --> 00:13:29,820
No.

248
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:31,800
Well, what do you think we should do?

249
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,420
For a start, might as well get all our
baggage off the road.

250
00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:35,379
What do you say?

251
00:13:35,380 --> 00:13:36,380
Good idea.

252
00:13:38,660 --> 00:13:40,220
Okay, now, pass the other one through.

253
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,199
Yeah, that one.

254
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,200
Okay.

255
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,020
Got it? Yeah, got it.

256
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,900
And now the board.

257
00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:54,200
There you go. Thank you.

258
00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:56,400
You didn't bring much.

259
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Just as well.

260
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,800
Doesn't look like there's going to be
much storage space after all your stuff

261
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,459
goes in.

262
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:04,160
Oh, I've never been away from home
before. At least not for a whole year.

263
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,960
Mum thought I should be prepared.

264
00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:09,600
Yeah, well, look at it this way. If the
whole surfing thing doesn't work out,

265
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,560
then you can always open your own
clothes store.

266
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,400
Ha ha, it's not that bad.

267
00:14:16,140 --> 00:14:17,140
Two o 'clock.

268
00:14:17,770 --> 00:14:19,530
What time do you reckon the other guys
are going to get here?

269
00:14:20,410 --> 00:14:22,890
Soon, I hope. It's a bit freaky being
here on our own.

270
00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:28,630
What do you say to a surf?

271
00:14:29,050 --> 00:14:30,050
What, now?

272
00:14:30,170 --> 00:14:33,610
Yeah, I mean, we've got to fill in the
time somehow, and there's some decent

273
00:14:33,610 --> 00:14:34,630
looking stats coming through.

274
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:38,390
Come on, might as well get a jump in our
competition.

275
00:14:40,530 --> 00:14:41,890
OK, you're on.

276
00:15:12,740 --> 00:15:19,480
You're pretty good. You pulled some good
moves out there. You went too

277
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,480
shabby yourself.

278
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:21,519
Where'd you learn?

279
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,620
Oh, my dad taught me. Me and my three
sisters have all had boards since we

280
00:15:24,620 --> 00:15:25,800
walk. You?

281
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:27,500
Accidentally, actually.

282
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Everyone else was doing it, so I started
doing it too.

283
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,440
Then I got hooked.

284
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,540
Haven't missed a day in about five
years.

285
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,800
I don't know how I could have been so
sus about Adam.

286
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,480
The more I got to know him, the more I
could see he was a really nice guy.

287
00:15:41,020 --> 00:15:42,840
And he was one heck of a surfer.

288
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:45,780
I just hoped all the others would be as
nice too.

289
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:48,260
That's if they ever turned up, of
course.

290
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,020
Oh, man. Man, I am seriously hungry.

291
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,760
We've got to figure out a way to get
some food. Well, I've got a cold pizza

292
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,140
I don't want to share it.

293
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,800
Don't think I'm quite that hungry. Come
on, Wes.

294
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:07,700
Those bags up there yours?

295
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,920
You want to explain what they're doing
there?

296
00:16:12,620 --> 00:16:16,420
And why you're both trespassing? And why
you're broken through a fence that had

297
00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:19,300
signs clearly telling you to keep out?
We didn't... break in a neighbor

298
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:23,080
witnessed you do it i just saw you do
the same thing again it's not what you

299
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,800
think we can explain everything i swear
all my life i've been the good girl who

300
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,580
never caused trouble i made my bed my
homework was always on time i never even

301
00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:39,320
jaywalked suddenly i'm this criminal
trespasser being grilled by the cops mom

302
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:40,320
gonna kill me

303
00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:09,230
Hey, it's back.

304
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:12,750
What do you mean, back who? Quit giving
me a hard time.

305
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:19,560
Well, listen, I know you're going
overseas tomorrow, but there was

306
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,680
really wanted to talk to you about.

307
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,180
I hope that's okay.

308
00:17:50,990 --> 00:17:53,270
My wife bought me these sneakers in
Italy.

309
00:17:53,810 --> 00:17:56,230
She'd murder me if she saw what I was
doing to them.

310
00:17:57,910 --> 00:18:01,170
I hope your news will mean that I'm not
risking my life for nothing.

311
00:18:03,070 --> 00:18:04,930
Well, where do we stand?

312
00:18:05,530 --> 00:18:08,350
I spoke to my mum, my dad, my boss.

313
00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:09,570
All very sensible.

314
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:11,130
And I also spoke to Simo.

315
00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:14,610
Oh, and what did he say?

316
00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:16,750
Basically the same thing everybody else
said.

317
00:18:17,610 --> 00:18:18,610
Which was?

318
00:18:19,260 --> 00:18:21,700
If I didn't take this job, he'd never
speak to me again.

319
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,000
So you'll do it?

320
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,280
Looks like I have no choice.

321
00:18:24,860 --> 00:18:27,460
Congratulations, Beck. You've made the
right choice. Believe me.

322
00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:33,460
I just hope you've made the right
choice. If I stuff this up... You won't.

323
00:18:34,020 --> 00:18:35,520
Don't even think about it.

324
00:18:36,180 --> 00:18:37,840
Now, come on. We've got a lot to talk
about.

325
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,280
I've organised some keys for you in
various forms to sign, and bank accounts

326
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,420
to... Anything wrong, Beck? You're
filling my head with all of this admin

327
00:18:48,810 --> 00:18:51,490
But you've told me nothing about the
most important thing of all.

328
00:18:51,690 --> 00:18:53,110
Which is?

329
00:18:53,550 --> 00:18:55,790
Who have we got this year? The kids.

330
00:18:56,050 --> 00:18:58,450
Oh, yeah, the kids. Good point.

331
00:18:58,650 --> 00:18:59,650
Please.

332
00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:03,050
The Solar Blue didn't hold selection
trials this year.

333
00:19:03,330 --> 00:19:07,630
Instead, Simmo invited the top juniors
from the major surf comps held around

334
00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:08,630
country.

335
00:19:09,150 --> 00:19:12,510
Now, the standout qualifier is a boy
called Charlie Prince.

336
00:19:13,370 --> 00:19:15,050
He's from Perth, over in the west.

337
00:19:16,890 --> 00:19:18,590
On just about every event he's ever
entered.

338
00:19:19,010 --> 00:19:21,530
His name might be Prince, but they call
him The King.

339
00:19:23,370 --> 00:19:26,330
Hopefully his huge, early success hasn't
gone to his head.

340
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:31,370
Hi, Charlie. Great to meet you. I hear
you've been doing tremendous things.

341
00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:32,990
Nothing compared with what I aim to do.

342
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:35,470
This will be a serious year, won't it?
Serious?

343
00:19:35,670 --> 00:19:37,550
Yeah, full -on training, proper skills
development.

344
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:38,830
None of this kiddie stuff.

345
00:19:39,010 --> 00:19:40,650
Otherwise we'll be wasting each other's
time.

346
00:19:40,910 --> 00:19:43,230
Why don't we give it a few weeks and see
how things pan out?

347
00:19:43,530 --> 00:19:45,110
Fine. I can live with that.

348
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,140
From down south near Lorne, we have
Lauren Power.

349
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,380
She's self -taught. Needs some coaching
in technique, apparently.

350
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,540
But Simmo thinks she has fantastic
potential.

351
00:19:56,460 --> 00:19:59,260
She also needs help to build her belief
in herself.

352
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,140
I take a chance when I take a shot.

353
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:06,760
That's a thrill to be here, Beck. I
can't tell you how thrilled and it's

354
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,960
thrilling. Well, we're very happy to
have you here.

355
00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:12,740
I just hope I can keep up with everyone
else.

356
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,840
I read their CVs. They're awesome.

357
00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:16,060
You'll be fine.

358
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,480
Just relax. Enjoy it. The rest will
come. Thank you.

359
00:20:19,940 --> 00:20:21,760
I just can't wait to get started.

360
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,400
Next, we've got this kid from Caloundra,
Guy Spender. This boy is a surfing

361
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,100
machine. In the water, he's very
aggressive.

362
00:20:30,380 --> 00:20:32,360
Hates losing and takes no prisoners.

363
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,460
Out of the water, he's the complete
reverse.

364
00:20:34,780 --> 00:20:37,000
So laid back, you'd think he's not even
trying.

365
00:20:39,140 --> 00:20:44,620
You must be Guy, right?

366
00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:46,460
Hi, and you're Perry Law, right?

367
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,880
No, I'm Bec Sanderson. Oh, are you sure?

368
00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:51,039
Pretty sure.

369
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,320
I've been Bec Sanderson for the past 20
years.

370
00:20:53,540 --> 00:20:54,489
Oh.

371
00:20:54,490 --> 00:20:57,850
Right, because I looked at the past
intakes on the web and I swear you were

372
00:20:57,850 --> 00:20:58,850
Perry. No.

373
00:20:59,110 --> 00:21:00,410
Sorry to disappoint you, Guy.

374
00:21:00,670 --> 00:21:01,649
Oh, that's cool.

375
00:21:01,650 --> 00:21:03,730
To have you at this place, I'd be happy
to work with a gorilla.

376
00:21:05,170 --> 00:21:09,290
Oh, sorry, not that I'm saying that
you're a gorilla. It's fine. I'm glad

377
00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:10,290
sorted that out.

378
00:21:10,990 --> 00:21:11,990
Great.

379
00:21:12,670 --> 00:21:15,590
From up near Coolum, we have one Bridget
Sanchez.

380
00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:19,530
She's won more comps than any other
junior in Australia this year.

381
00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:23,250
Well, she's a classy server who's very
determined to make it to the top.

382
00:21:23,790 --> 00:21:27,190
If attitude means anything, then she
might very well get there.

383
00:21:27,610 --> 00:21:33,390
I really want to thank you for this
fantastic opportunity. I cannot tell you

384
00:21:33,390 --> 00:21:36,330
much I appreciate it. Don't thank me,
Bridget. You got here all on your own.

385
00:21:36,330 --> 00:21:39,690
absolutely determined to make every
moment of every day count. Well, that's

386
00:21:39,690 --> 00:21:42,870
very positive attitude. Any comments or
criticisms, please feel free to pass

387
00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:46,310
them on. Right, well, I... Because I
really want to learn as much as I can. I

388
00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:47,970
mean, that's how you improve, right?

389
00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:49,310
Right.

390
00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:53,210
And finally, we have our own two
wildcards.

391
00:21:53,450 --> 00:21:54,450
Wild cards?

392
00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:58,130
Well, Pimo found them by accident when
he was surfing a few out -of -the -way

393
00:21:58,130 --> 00:22:00,810
beaches. Adam Bridge and Cathy Kometi.

394
00:22:01,270 --> 00:22:05,110
Apparently neither of them have done
much competition, but he liked the look

395
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:08,990
them. He said that taking them on would
be risky, but he thought that if they

396
00:22:08,990 --> 00:22:11,870
applied themselves, the risk might just
be worth it.

397
00:22:16,170 --> 00:22:19,030
And I think you'll find it'll be a great
year for all of them.

398
00:22:19,390 --> 00:22:20,390
Thanks, yeah.

399
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,200
So where are these two? They should be
here by now, shouldn't they? Yes.

400
00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:26,400
I'll get their parents to call to check.

401
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,240
Excuse me, Bec. Yes, Lauren.

402
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,640
There's a policeman here.

403
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:30,920
A policeman.

404
00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:32,860
Says he wants to speak to the person in
charge.

405
00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:39,640
G'day, Bec. Sergeant Leslie, what's
going on?

406
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,340
I've got something that belongs to you.

407
00:22:41,540 --> 00:22:42,540
To me?

408
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,560
I found these two yesterday.

409
00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:49,860
They made their way here, but there was
no one here to meet them.

410
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,680
Fortunately, a neighbour reported them
to us.

411
00:22:52,940 --> 00:22:55,620
So I was able to find him some food and
a bed down at the station.

412
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,080
These two spent day one in the local
locker.

413
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,479
That's awesome.

414
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,320
If this is any indication of how Solar
Blue looks after kids in its care, it's

415
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,100
pretty unimpressive. Officer, I did send
a message to all the families asking

416
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:09,360
the kids to delay their arrival till
today.

417
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,440
For some reason, obviously, these two
didn't get it. That's not an excuse.

418
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:17,660
Any repetition of this will seriously
jeopardise your licence to run this

419
00:23:17,740 --> 00:23:18,729
You got me?

420
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:21,630
Absolutely. Please be assured this won't
happen again.

421
00:23:21,890 --> 00:23:22,890
Good.

422
00:23:23,490 --> 00:23:25,570
This wouldn't have happened when Simba
was running things.

423
00:23:28,270 --> 00:23:29,850
Guys, why didn't you call?

424
00:23:30,170 --> 00:23:32,230
I did. I left a message on your
answering machine.

425
00:23:32,470 --> 00:23:33,470
Yes, I'm here.

426
00:23:35,450 --> 00:23:39,170
Well, you're here safely now and that's
the main thing and we're very happy to

427
00:23:39,170 --> 00:23:39,929
see you.

428
00:23:39,930 --> 00:23:42,230
Guys, maybe you could make these two
feel welcome.

429
00:23:43,450 --> 00:23:46,870
Angus, perhaps you and I ought to have a
little chat about communications.

430
00:23:47,610 --> 00:23:49,990
Uh, yes, that, uh, sounds reasonable.

431
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:53,950
So, sounds like you guys have had
excitement and plot.

432
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:55,250
Something like that.

433
00:23:55,370 --> 00:23:57,310
We're beginning to wonder if you were
really coming.

434
00:23:57,670 --> 00:23:59,150
Well, we're sure here now.

435
00:23:59,390 --> 00:24:00,349
Hi, I'm Kathy.

436
00:24:00,350 --> 00:24:01,149
I'm Lauren.

437
00:24:01,150 --> 00:24:05,030
Hey, man, I'm Guy. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I've got to say, this

438
00:24:05,030 --> 00:24:06,610
one pretty cool way to arrive, dude.

439
00:24:08,010 --> 00:24:10,750
So that was my introduction to life at
Solar Blue.

440
00:24:11,070 --> 00:24:14,090
Not exactly out of the textbook, but
hey, I wasn't complaining.

441
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:19,130
I knew there'd be much bigger hurdles to
jump in the year ahead.

442
00:24:19,690 --> 00:24:23,030
I also knew that I was sure to fall and
hurt myself a few times.

443
00:24:23,730 --> 00:24:27,730
But right at that moment, I just
couldn't wait to get started.

444
00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:50,930
the only one
