1
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:09,520
There's too much choice and not enough
time.

2
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:33,910
to know the most important quality I
think a surfer should have? This is

3
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:38,230
to sound seriously uncool, I know, but
I'm going to tell you anyway. To me, the

4
00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:40,170
single most important thing is this.

5
00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:42,110
Good manners.

6
00:00:43,490 --> 00:00:46,710
When you look out and see the water like
this, it's perfect, right?

7
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:49,830
No one around, you've got the whole
ocean to yourself.

8
00:00:50,230 --> 00:00:52,450
But there aren't too many days like this
one.

9
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,920
This is what it's like most of the time.

10
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,440
A crowded line -up with stacks of
surfers all trying to catch the same

11
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,519
It brings out the best in people's
manners.

12
00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:07,820
And also the worst.

13
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,740
Look at that crowd, will you? Every man
and his dogs out there. And his cat and

14
00:01:14,740 --> 00:01:15,860
his pet rabbit too.

15
00:01:16,260 --> 00:01:18,080
Let's just hope they all know the road
rules.

16
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:26,180
One of the worst things you can ever do
in the surf is to drop in on somebody.

17
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,440
The rule is that if you're up first,
then you own the wave.

18
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:33,900
If you're not first, then you just have
to lump it.

19
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:38,560
Having to back off from a good wave is
really frustrating, but that's what you

20
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,399
have to do.

21
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,560
If you don't, then things can get very
ugly.

22
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:47,520
When someone else steals your wave, you
only have two choices.

23
00:01:47,860 --> 00:01:49,680
Crash into them or bail out.

24
00:01:50,060 --> 00:01:51,060
Hey!

25
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,120
Either way, it leaves you feeling pretty
mad.

26
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,780
Then there are the road blockers.

27
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:02,280
These people are so greedy for their
next wave that they paddle straight

28
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,680
the centre of the liner, which is
exactly where everyone wants to take off

29
00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:07,518
Look out!

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,480
Some people just don't care what danger
they've put themselves in, or anyone

31
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,480
else for that matter.

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Hey! Don't you have any brains?

33
00:02:15,620 --> 00:02:16,720
I can't block.

34
00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:19,370
What was going on? out there today.

35
00:02:19,630 --> 00:02:22,590
So if you're just being selfish, just
you name it. I hope they don't plan to

36
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:23,590
hang around for too long.

37
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:26,690
You know, I've got news for you. With
the summer coming, it's only going to

38
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:30,150
worse. I mean, they're all experienced
surfers out there. They should have

39
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:33,510
better. Was it all of them or just a
few? No, just three or four of them.

40
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:34,689
That's all it takes.

41
00:02:34,690 --> 00:02:36,850
Did anyone else have a go at them? Not
that we heard.

42
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:39,530
It's so unfair that three or four can
wreck it for everyone.

43
00:02:39,850 --> 00:02:42,950
I agree, but unfortunately, there's a
lot of ignorant surfers out there who

44
00:02:42,950 --> 00:02:46,310
don't know any better. Oh, they knew
they were just bad -mannered and

45
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:48,130
So how did you respond?

46
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,539
What do you mean?

47
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:51,320
When that guy dropped in on you, what
did you do?

48
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:52,800
Well, I yelled at him, of course.

49
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,820
And what about you, Bridget, when you
saw that guy paddling towards you?

50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,240
The same. I mean, what else could I do?

51
00:02:58,580 --> 00:02:59,900
Well, that's the issue then, isn't it?

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,360
What's the issue, Beth?

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,780
Well, if all you can do is yell at
someone, doesn't that make you just as

54
00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:07,560
them? But I was yelling at him to try
and avoid an accident.

55
00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:10,720
Yelling out a warning is one thing.
Shouting out abuse is something else.

56
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:13,260
Yeah, but the guys I was yelling at were
clearly in the wrong.

57
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:15,800
Yeah, they shouldn't be allowed to get
away with this. Well, no one's saying

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,418
they should.

59
00:03:16,420 --> 00:03:18,600
Well, then what? These guys... are
ignorant bullies.

60
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:22,120
You can't let people like that just walk
all over you without doing something.

61
00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:25,740
Maybe you should have tried talking to
them. There's no way that they would

62
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:27,300
listened to us. How do you know?

63
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:29,120
It's just the kind of guys they were.

64
00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:31,600
You don't know that. You never even
talked to them.

65
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:34,680
It's okay for you to be all calm and
logical about it. You weren't there.

66
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:36,380
Adam's got a point though, Cassie.

67
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Sometimes all it takes is having a quiet
word with someone, and once you explain

68
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,120
things to them, they'll come around.

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,340
And one thing I can definitely tell you,
shouting at somebody is going to get

70
00:03:45,340 --> 00:03:46,079
you nowhere.

71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,300
It's just going to get them fired up.

72
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,960
Well, then what? We just let the bullies
walk all over us. No, but the first

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,860
step should always be to try and talk to
them.

74
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,820
You might be surprised at how reasonable
most people really are.

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,700
So Beth, Gary and Adam all made good
sense, but good sense and surfing don't

76
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:08,320
always go together. And just as Cassie
had predicted, The problem was about to

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,700
get a whole lot worse.

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,100
The first people Summer brings out are
the life savers.

79
00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:17,260
If anyone has the right to rule the
beach, it's them. And normally

80
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:18,600
happy enough to go along with them.

81
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:22,220
Hey guys, you're the Solid Blue team,
right? Yeah, that's us. Cool.

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,600
Now, I'm sure I don't need to tell you,
but let's just get a few ground rules

83
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,520
established, all right? Sure. All
righty. The area between the flags is

84
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,500
swimming, so I don't want to see any
surfboards 100 metres either side or 200

85
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:35,620
metres out to sea. You all got that?
Gladly.

86
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:38,360
Great. If we can remember that, we'll
have a really happy summer together.

87
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,940
You won't have to worry about us. We'll
keep right out of your way, mate.

88
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Thanks, guys. That's all I need to know.

89
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,880
So, where do you think we should head? I
think the point's looking good again

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,140
today. Yeah, that'll do me.

91
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,440
Let's go.

92
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,480
So far, so good.

93
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,100
The Lifesavers had made things clear. We
were happy to agree.

94
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:58,560
Everyone had their space and we could
all do our own thing.

95
00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,820
Then, the summer threw up its second
challenge.

96
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,860
Anyone want a challenge for bigger surf?

97
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,840
I want for it! Yeah, I'm Parker!

98
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,820
A few experienced surfers might be rude
and aggressive, but it's the

99
00:05:10,820 --> 00:05:15,400
inexperienced surfers you really need to
watch out for. And the worst of all are

100
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,600
the ones who think they're better than
they really are.

101
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,820
These guys aren't just stupid.

102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,860
They're seriously dangerous.

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,360
I don't like the look of this. You've
got to stop thinking of every other

104
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,760
as the enemy, Cassie. No, I don't think
that. I'm just as vicious as the boys

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,760
who hunt and pack.

106
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,840
They've got a right to surf here too,
you know. Yeah, well, so long as they

107
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:35,460
remember that I also have rights.

108
00:05:36,020 --> 00:05:37,160
Oh, I've been called paranoid.

109
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,280
As it turned out, Catholic instincts
were right. In doing their jumps, the

110
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:50,440
took off their leg ropes.

111
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,560
And when you do that, your board becomes
an out -of -control mythop.

112
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,299
anything broken?

113
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:21,000
I don't think so, but I'm going to have
one hell of a bruise. What is it? What's

114
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,960
happened? Cassie got hit by someone's
board.

115
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,360
Luckily, nothing's broken.

116
00:06:24,580 --> 00:06:25,580
Whose board was it?

117
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,860
Those idiots out there. They took their
leg ropes off to do aerials. How pity

118
00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:30,700
they don't know how to do them, at least
not safely.

119
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:33,500
Okay, I'm going to go have a chat to
them. Why? It's done now.

120
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,580
At least I can try and stop it happening
again.

121
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:37,020
Do you want me to go with you?

122
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,080
No.

123
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,780
It's probably better if just one of us
goes.

124
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Come on, let's get some ice on that
bruise.

125
00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:46,340
Did I win or did I win?

126
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:47,620
Man, you got lucky.

127
00:06:47,860 --> 00:06:49,460
That wasn't luck. That was just talent.

128
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,920
Hey, guys.

129
00:06:51,260 --> 00:06:52,219
What do you want?

130
00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:54,840
There's just been an accident caused by
one of your boards. What sort of

131
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,040
accident? One of the girls was hit when
the boards were released.

132
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:58,440
So?

133
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:01,080
So it'd help if you're a bit more
careful.

134
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:04,560
The right thing to do when other surfers
are out there is to keep your leggies

135
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,940
on. You telling us what to do?

136
00:07:06,740 --> 00:07:09,100
No, just explaining how it all works out
there, buddy.

137
00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:11,620
You know how it works. This is our
beach, right?

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Yeah. We live here.

139
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,300
Not like you solid blue ringings.

140
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,500
Whoa, chill out. I don't want to own
your beach.

141
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:20,200
There's an injured girl over there.

142
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,220
Luckily it wasn't serious, but it could
have been.

143
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,960
I'm not trying to tell you what to do.
I'm just asking for your help.

144
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:28,580
Anyways, I'll see you around, eh?

145
00:07:29,380 --> 00:07:32,160
We have vocal rules here, mate, which
means locals rule.

146
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,880
I'm definitely not shocker.

147
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:39,800
What did you say?

148
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:41,100
Didn't say anything.

149
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Anyone hear me say anything?

150
00:07:42,820 --> 00:07:43,820
Didn't hear a thing, mate.

151
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,520
Racism is against the law. You need to
watch yourself.

152
00:07:46,820 --> 00:07:47,940
Did you just threaten me?

153
00:07:48,540 --> 00:07:51,860
Did he threaten me then? Pretty sure he
did. You're the one who needs to watch

154
00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:54,580
himself, buddy. Threats are against the
law and I've got witnesses.

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Where are your witnesses?

156
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Hey, how'd it go?

157
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,840
Oh, yeah, alright.

158
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,680
Are you sure you don't look all right?

159
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:14,100
It's a bunch of little half -wit grown
-ups, aren't they?

160
00:08:14,380 --> 00:08:15,380
Seriously.

161
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:19,860
Seriously. What's this? So I wasn't
paranoid after all? No, unfortunately

162
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Come on, are we going inside or is the
plant going to sit out here all

163
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
afternoon?

164
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,260
None of us knew what had gone down
between Adam and those boys, but it was

165
00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:30,180
pretty clear something had happened.

166
00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:33,520
And whatever it was, it seemed to have
cut pretty deep.

167
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:38,360
OK, everyone, three teams of two.
Cassie, what about you and Adam?

168
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:41,740
I think you can count us out of this
one. My arm isn't exactly in prime

169
00:08:41,740 --> 00:08:42,940
condition to hold a pool cue.

170
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:44,620
How's it feeling?

171
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,640
Oh, but the ice is helping the swelling.

172
00:08:47,940 --> 00:08:48,940
Is Adam OK?

173
00:08:49,420 --> 00:08:53,220
Yeah. I think he's just a bit annoyed
that his efforts to be reasonable with

174
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:54,400
those idiots didn't pay off today.

175
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,840
I don't know, I think it's more than
that. Something happened out there

176
00:08:58,300 --> 00:08:59,139
Like what?

177
00:08:59,140 --> 00:09:01,460
Not sure, but it's really got under his
skin.

178
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,000
He hasn't said a word since we came
back.

179
00:09:05,770 --> 00:09:08,710
I've been so focused on my Thoram, I
haven't noticed anything.

180
00:09:09,170 --> 00:09:10,610
Maybe I should go and see what's up.

181
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:12,110
I think you should.

182
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:13,290
Hey, Lauren.

183
00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:14,590
You can break.

184
00:09:14,610 --> 00:09:15,610
Hell yeah.

185
00:09:18,770 --> 00:09:19,870
You're a bit quiet tonight.

186
00:09:20,670 --> 00:09:21,670
Is there something wrong?

187
00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:23,270
No, I just don't feel much like playing
pool.

188
00:09:24,810 --> 00:09:26,470
Thanks for trying to talk to those boys
today.

189
00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:28,350
Felt a lot of good it did.

190
00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:30,670
Oh, does that mean you've changed your
mind then?

191
00:09:31,030 --> 00:09:32,030
About what?

192
00:09:32,170 --> 00:09:34,950
Oh, about the idea that you just have to
talk to people to get them to act

193
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:38,430
reasonably? No. It just means that some
people need a lot more talking to than

194
00:09:38,430 --> 00:09:39,430
others.

195
00:09:41,130 --> 00:09:42,590
Did something happen with those boys?

196
00:09:43,470 --> 00:09:44,470
Like what?

197
00:09:45,010 --> 00:09:46,150
Like, I don't know. You tell me.

198
00:09:50,530 --> 00:09:53,850
Oh, look, it was nothing, really. They
just really annoyed me.

199
00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:56,370
I was stupid for letting you get to me
like that, though.

200
00:09:57,270 --> 00:09:59,370
That's all right. It just proves you're
human after all.

201
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:00,990
Did you ever doubt that I was?

202
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040
No, but it is nice to be reminded every
so often.

203
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:07,940
Ow.

204
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,520
What's the matter? Does it hurt to kiss
me now?

205
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:13,880
Yeah, I forgot about my bruise. It's a
serious handicap to romance, I'm afraid.

206
00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:16,080
And one that I'm sure we can work
around.

207
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,260
Whatever had been eating at Adam didn't
seem to last long.

208
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:27,440
The next day he was back to his normal
self and all of us had forgotten to run

209
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,820
in with the local surfy boys.

210
00:10:30,209 --> 00:10:31,910
Unfortunately, they hadn't forgotten us.

211
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:34,410
Hey, have you worked out what you're
going to write about for that history

212
00:10:34,410 --> 00:10:35,530
yet? Oh, sort of.

213
00:10:35,790 --> 00:10:36,790
Yeah, what?

214
00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:39,630
Lou, what are you going to write about?

215
00:10:39,830 --> 00:10:42,150
What moron would do something as idiotic
as this?

216
00:10:42,610 --> 00:10:43,610
Idiotic as what?

217
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:45,110
As this.

218
00:10:45,650 --> 00:10:48,770
Where did that come from? Some halfwit
stuck it on Adam's locker. I'd love to

219
00:10:48,770 --> 00:10:49,770
know who.

220
00:10:49,970 --> 00:10:50,970
Think I know who.

221
00:10:51,090 --> 00:10:52,090
Can I have it?

222
00:10:52,270 --> 00:10:53,890
Mate, you're not going to let this get
to you, are you?

223
00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:54,889
It's rubbish.

224
00:10:54,890 --> 00:10:56,570
Whoever did it's got the mind of a three
-year -old.

225
00:10:56,950 --> 00:10:58,810
No, most three -year -olds can draw
better than this.

226
00:10:59,370 --> 00:11:00,370
You said you know who did it?

227
00:11:00,470 --> 00:11:01,970
Yeah, yeah, I've got a pretty good idea.

228
00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:05,270
Then let's report them. Whoever did it
needs to get booted out of school

229
00:11:05,270 --> 00:11:06,270
straight away.

230
00:11:06,430 --> 00:11:09,790
Yeah, well, knowing's one thing. Being
able to prove it is a whole other story.

231
00:11:10,350 --> 00:11:13,890
But we'll hang on to it for now, and who
knows? Might come in handy later.

232
00:11:15,830 --> 00:11:18,910
Mate, if you know who did it, we should
at least confront them about it. Oh, but

233
00:11:18,910 --> 00:11:21,870
if he's got no proof... Oh, proof or no
proof, you can't just let something like

234
00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:22,469
this go.

235
00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:24,210
Yeah, but you can't go around accusing
people either.

236
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:27,330
Accusing someone of racism is almost as
bad as racism itself.

237
00:11:27,650 --> 00:11:31,320
What? joking. It is if they're innocent.
So let's confront them and give them a

238
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,200
chance to deny it. Which they will. So
what, we're just meant to sit around and

239
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:34,799
do nothing?

240
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,660
Hey guys, I've just got to go get a book
back from someone. I'll see you in

241
00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:38,579
class.

242
00:11:38,580 --> 00:11:40,880
Look, all I'm saying is that you have to
be careful if you're going to start

243
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,480
throwing accusations around. Careful,
schmerful.

244
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:48,100
Hi guys.

245
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,960
Oh, well look who it is.

246
00:11:50,220 --> 00:11:51,920
The world's greatest surfer.

247
00:11:52,180 --> 00:11:54,480
Lucky morning tea time. Anyone got any
chocolate?

248
00:11:55,740 --> 00:11:57,220
I just wanted to thank you guys.

249
00:11:57,790 --> 00:12:01,070
We're going to all this trouble. I mean,
sure, it's not a very good likeness,

250
00:12:01,130 --> 00:12:03,650
but hey, can't expect too much from
preschoolers, can you?

251
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:05,850
Never seen that before.

252
00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:07,450
Anyone ever seen that before?

253
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:09,490
Oh, that's racism.

254
00:12:10,190 --> 00:12:11,430
Racism is against the law, mate.

255
00:12:11,790 --> 00:12:12,790
Didn't you know that?

256
00:12:13,010 --> 00:12:14,010
Thanks for letting me know.

257
00:12:14,050 --> 00:12:18,330
So, if you do see who did do this
drawing, you can let them know that I'm

258
00:12:18,330 --> 00:12:19,810
keeping it as evidence for the police.

259
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:22,010
Sorry, mate, it's none of our business.

260
00:12:22,350 --> 00:12:25,370
Glad to hear it. But it'd be a pity to
see you guys all kicked out of school,

261
00:12:25,530 --> 00:12:26,870
and at such a young age, too.

262
00:12:27,210 --> 00:12:29,990
Probably be pretty embarrassing for your
family. Not going to happen, pal.

263
00:12:30,210 --> 00:12:33,490
So why don't you just nick off and take
your dumb ideas with you?

264
00:12:34,830 --> 00:12:35,830
Sure.

265
00:12:36,130 --> 00:12:37,650
But nice to see you guys.

266
00:12:37,850 --> 00:12:39,650
And thanks again for the drawing.

267
00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:58,550
First time, guys. We're close enough.
Oh, does that mean we're done for the

268
00:12:58,810 --> 00:13:00,670
Yeah, grab your boys and get some free
surf time.

269
00:13:01,690 --> 00:13:02,890
Cassie, how's the arm?

270
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:05,830
Yeah, much better. I'll be 100 % in no
time.

271
00:13:06,190 --> 00:13:08,030
Okay, well, probably best if you give it
a rest, okay?

272
00:13:08,290 --> 00:13:10,730
Yeah, I'm going to go just in case on
the exercise bike.

273
00:13:10,990 --> 00:13:13,290
All right, well, don't push it too hard.
Nice and easy, okay?

274
00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:14,750
Yes, ma 'am, will do.

275
00:13:17,010 --> 00:13:18,510
So what do you reckon? We go down the
end again?

276
00:13:19,010 --> 00:13:20,330
Not if we have to meet those boys.

277
00:13:20,780 --> 00:13:23,960
Can't worry about them. We'll surf where
we want to surf. I just don't want to

278
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,340
get clobbered by their boards, that's
all.

279
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:29,240
It doesn't look like they're out there.
And the break is looking good.

280
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:31,480
Yeah, Lauren's right. Let's just go out
there.

281
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,479
All right.

282
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,480
Let's do it.

283
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:39,320
We should have known it was too good to
be true.

284
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:43,600
Just when we thought we had the waves to
ourselves, the summer threw up its

285
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,600
third challenge.

286
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:48,040
This time, it was every surfer's worst
nightmare.

287
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,860
Oh, where did these guys come from? They
must have come from around the point.

288
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:54,180
Oh, no, that's all we need.

289
00:13:54,420 --> 00:13:56,700
Whatever you do, don't get between them
and the shore.

290
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,280
When you see big boards like Malibu's,
you get out of their way, fast.

291
00:14:01,860 --> 00:14:05,380
They're like ten -ton trucks that can
demolish anything in their path.

292
00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:09,560
And when they're ridden by old guys who
are desperately trying to prove how cool

293
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,480
they still are, the combination is
lethal.

294
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Look out!

295
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,060
You guys are taking up the whole break.

296
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,200
They're pushing us towards the swimmer's
area.

297
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,200
Are

298
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:45,300
you

299
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:47,440
okay? Yeah, no, thanks to that guy.

300
00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:50,980
Man, somebody is going to pay for this.

301
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,640
Gary! Beck!

302
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:55,260
What is it? You better come quick.

303
00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:56,580
What's the matter?

304
00:14:56,620 --> 00:14:57,620
Everything.

305
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,480
You can't just go taking over the whole
break like that. Who's taking over the

306
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,180
break? You were. We gave you plenty of
room and you just kept taking more.

307
00:15:05,460 --> 00:15:09,020
Your boards are like tanks. You need to
keep them away from other surfers.

308
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:10,600
They're only dangerous if you get in the
way.

309
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,940
Don't you know the first thing about
surfing? I've forgotten more than you'll

310
00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:14,940
ever know, Sonny.

311
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:16,620
What's going on?

312
00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:20,540
What's going on here is that you solar
blue people think you own the whole

313
00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:23,800
beach. What happened out there? What
happened is that this guy ploughed

314
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,840
through the centre of my board. Luckily,
I wasn't killed.

315
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,920
Then you shouldn't paddle towards the
centre of the break. We weren't anywhere

316
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,680
near the centre of the break. You guys
just kept pushing us out. That's true,

317
00:15:32,740 --> 00:15:35,940
Beck. OK, look, look, whatever happened
here was obviously an accident. We've

318
00:15:35,940 --> 00:15:39,760
been surfing these beaches for 30 years,
mate. It's not up to us to make way for

319
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,620
you. You have to make way for us.

320
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:44,060
Look, I'm sure there's a way we can sort
this out.

321
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Beck. Phil, what's up? I've told your
team about the safety measures they've

322
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,200
to follow around here, and they've
deliberately ignored them. How so?

323
00:15:51,460 --> 00:15:54,780
All they have to do is stay well away
from the swimming area, and look at

324
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,520
Look, I'm sure... Luckily, no one was
injured, but if I can't trust you people

325
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,940
to behave properly around here, I'll
have no option. I'll ban you from

326
00:16:01,940 --> 00:16:02,779
here. You're kidding!

327
00:16:02,780 --> 00:16:06,100
The ball's in your court, young lady.
Now what do you want to do about it?

328
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:14,140
Can I interest you gentlemen in a cup of
tea?

329
00:16:21,070 --> 00:16:25,670
get hammered by the regular surfers, the
young surfers, the old surfers and the

330
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:29,730
lifesavers. Not a bad school when you
think about it. And even though none of

331
00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:32,030
was our fault, we were the ones coping
the blame.

332
00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:36,430
Whichever way you looked at it, some
serious repair work was desperately

333
00:16:37,010 --> 00:16:39,090
Otherwise, it was goodbye Bluewater
Beach.

334
00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:41,930
OK, so this is the deal.

335
00:16:42,290 --> 00:16:45,890
The Longboarders will get their pick of
the break three days a week between 5

336
00:16:45,890 --> 00:16:46,890
and 7pm.

337
00:16:47,050 --> 00:16:49,520
And we get first pick... Four days a
week.

338
00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:51,920
OK, so what happens on the days when we
have second choice?

339
00:16:52,140 --> 00:16:53,280
Yeah, does that mean we can't surf?

340
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:55,760
No, no, we'll just go to the other end,
or we'll drive to another beach.

341
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:59,720
And the lifesaver's cool with that? Yes,
as long as we stay well away from the

342
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,960
swimmers. OK, well, what about the
regular surfers, the days when there's

343
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,099
million others in the line -up?

344
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,540
No, you'll just have to fit in with
them.

345
00:17:05,940 --> 00:17:09,780
Follow the basic rules, show some
consideration, they have rights too.

346
00:17:09,780 --> 00:17:12,560
it's the ones who don't respect other
people's rights that are the problem.

347
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:14,140
Yeah, there's some real idiots out
there.

348
00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:17,300
Well, there's no easy answer to that.
Show some good manners and hopefully

349
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:18,059
will too.

350
00:17:18,060 --> 00:17:19,060
And if they don't?

351
00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:21,480
Ultimately, those guys will get sorted
out. They always do.

352
00:17:22,060 --> 00:17:25,400
We just don't want you to be the ones to
try and do that. Not while you're at

353
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,400
Solar Blue, anyway.

354
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,280
What about the local brat pack?

355
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:32,080
Who? The guys whose board hit Cassie's
arm. Yeah, they're seriously stupid.

356
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,580
Well, the answer's simple.

357
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,020
Stay away from them.

358
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,060
You can't get hurt by someone you don't
meet.

359
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,120
Look, I generally agree with Beck's
approach.

360
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,260
I just don't think we should stay out of
the way of those bullies. Well, so what

361
00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:46,260
are you saying?

362
00:17:46,270 --> 00:17:49,190
They're just little bully boys. Scratch
a bully on the surface and you find a

363
00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:50,550
coward. Just sort them out.

364
00:17:52,430 --> 00:17:53,430
What's up, Adam?

365
00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:55,470
Oi, Adam!

366
00:18:02,010 --> 00:18:08,610
One I

367
00:18:08,610 --> 00:18:10,110
can overlook as a mistake.

368
00:18:11,029 --> 00:18:12,930
Two, and I start to get angry.

369
00:18:13,170 --> 00:18:15,090
I don't know what you're on about, surf
boy.

370
00:18:15,390 --> 00:18:16,910
I told you, I've never seen those
before.

371
00:18:17,870 --> 00:18:21,670
It's like a pretty bad wipeout, though.
Yeah, maybe you need some lessons.

372
00:18:21,910 --> 00:18:25,110
Look, mate, the only person around here
who needs a lesson is you.

373
00:18:25,330 --> 00:18:28,110
Hey, what's going on here? He's
threatening me, sir.

374
00:18:28,350 --> 00:18:31,410
Isn't he, Billy? Yeah, we were just
standing here and he started picking on

375
00:18:31,570 --> 00:18:32,570
We didn't do anything.

376
00:18:32,810 --> 00:18:33,810
Is this true, Adam?

377
00:18:35,770 --> 00:18:38,610
It's true, I confronted them, sir. There
are rules against bullying.

378
00:18:38,810 --> 00:18:40,650
You should be kicked out of school, sir.
Yeah, all right, all right.

379
00:18:41,290 --> 00:18:42,830
Adam, wait for me in my office, please.

380
00:18:48,250 --> 00:18:50,710
When my parents hear about this, they'll
go ballistic.

381
00:18:50,970 --> 00:18:54,370
You've got to teach your kid lessons.
Yes, and thank you for your advice,

382
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:56,630
Now, don't you two have a classroom
again?

383
00:18:58,990 --> 00:19:01,370
Bullying is a serious offense, you know
that, don't you, Adam?

384
00:19:02,170 --> 00:19:03,170
Yes, sir.

385
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:05,770
And rather out of character for you, I
would have thought.

386
00:19:08,990 --> 00:19:12,890
So for you to behave that way, I suspect
there must have been a great deal of

387
00:19:12,890 --> 00:19:13,890
provocation.

388
00:19:15,110 --> 00:19:16,270
You want to tell me about it?

389
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:30,130
Hmm. It's about as childish as I'd
expect from those two.

390
00:19:30,830 --> 00:19:31,830
You know them?

391
00:19:31,870 --> 00:19:35,100
Alas, yes. I was... Lucky enough to
teach them last year.

392
00:19:35,380 --> 00:19:37,460
Two of my more spectacular failures, I'm
afraid.

393
00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:42,660
Racism, even at this puerile level, is a
serious thing.

394
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,480
Are you sure it's them?

395
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,440
Yeah. Yeah, I'm positive.

396
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:48,460
But I can't prove it.

397
00:19:48,660 --> 00:19:50,780
Without proof, there's nothing much can
be done.

398
00:19:51,260 --> 00:19:54,660
There may be a couple of snakes, but
even snakes are innocent unless proven

399
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:57,800
otherwise. I'm positive Nick's got more
drawings in his locker.

400
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,560
If I could just get my hands on them.

401
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,820
I seem to have mislaid my key.

402
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:11,820
Which is very awkward, really, because
there's a mark to keep for all the

403
00:20:11,820 --> 00:20:12,940
student lockers among them.

404
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,040
If you happen to find them, would you
mind returning them to me?

405
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,800
Of course, sir.

406
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,300
You're in my class first thing after
recess.

407
00:20:21,380 --> 00:20:23,160
Make sure you're not more than a couple
of minutes late.

408
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,240
Absolutely.

409
00:20:25,620 --> 00:20:26,620
Thank you.

410
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,100
Hi, guys.

411
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,840
Oh, not you again.

412
00:21:02,380 --> 00:21:04,580
I'm to apologize, Hattie. Well, don't
bother.

413
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,820
There's no place for booing at this
school, mate. You're going to be out of

414
00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:08,820
before you know it.

415
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:11,500
What's this?

416
00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:12,820
Your drawings, Nick.

417
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,520
They're pretty crappy ones, but they're
definitely yours.

418
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,220
These are only photocopies, of course.

419
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,060
I've got the real ones stashed in a safe
place.

420
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:23,880
They make quite a collection.

421
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,020
Where'd you get these? Who cares?

422
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,820
The fact is I've got them.

423
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,160
Now, I don't think you're really a
racist, Nick.

424
00:21:30,860 --> 00:21:34,760
I just think you're a stupid, selfish
little flake. But not everyone's going

425
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,760
agree with me.

426
00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:39,180
Not after I show them these pictures
with your name and handwriting all over

427
00:21:39,180 --> 00:21:40,520
them. Is this another threat?

428
00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:42,220
Here's the situation.

429
00:21:42,730 --> 00:21:46,090
I can show these to the principal and
everyone else around, and you'll be

430
00:21:46,090 --> 00:21:47,130
expelled, no question.

431
00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:51,190
I can take them to the police, and
you'll be charged. Like I said, racism

432
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:52,710
against the law, and you've broken it.

433
00:21:53,070 --> 00:21:54,070
Big time.

434
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:56,910
Or we can make a deal.

435
00:22:00,050 --> 00:22:01,250
What sort of deal?

436
00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:06,370
You will write me a letter of apology.
What? In which you apologize for the

437
00:22:06,370 --> 00:22:10,550
offense you've caused and promise never
to use racist taunts again, against me

438
00:22:10,550 --> 00:22:11,550
or anyone else.

439
00:22:11,950 --> 00:22:12,950
And that's it?

440
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:14,250
No.

441
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:17,690
I will also need a promise from you and
your mate that you'll find somewhere

442
00:22:17,690 --> 00:22:21,990
else to surf other than Blue Water
Beach. At least until the end of summer.

443
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:26,610
After then, we're out of here. And I
honestly could not care less what you do

444
00:22:26,610 --> 00:22:28,230
with your life. I can't do that.

445
00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:31,870
Well, it's up to you.

446
00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:34,450
And that's the deal. And the terms are
non -negotiable.

447
00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:38,610
If I don't have a letter from you by the
day after tomorrow, then we go to the

448
00:22:38,610 --> 00:22:39,610
principal.

449
00:22:40,639 --> 00:22:42,980
Anyways, dudes, enjoy your lunches.

450
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,400
Letter from home?

451
00:22:56,140 --> 00:22:57,140
Uh, no.

452
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,040
Just from a couple of guys I know,
actually.

453
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,780
Judging by the look on your face, it's
obviously good news.

454
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:03,600
Yeah. Yeah, it is.

455
00:23:03,860 --> 00:23:05,280
Did they win the lotto or something?

456
00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:08,420
No, nothing like that. They just decided
to change their manners.

457
00:23:09,380 --> 00:23:11,240
I like that. Good manners are important.

458
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:12,620
Couldn't agree more.

459
00:23:13,180 --> 00:23:14,180
Whoa, you're there.

460
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:15,900
What?

461
00:23:16,340 --> 00:23:17,340
What are you doing?

462
00:23:17,780 --> 00:23:19,920
Keep them closed. Keep them closed.
What's going on?

463
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,920
Open them.

464
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:25,239
Ta -da!

465
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,240
Oh, what?

466
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,440
Got the local boardmaker to copy your
old one, hey? He's a mean hand with a

467
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,440
fiberglass.

468
00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:37,060
Check it out. That is amazing. It's
exactly the same. Everything.

469
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,560
You owe me one, mate.

470
00:23:39,340 --> 00:23:40,340
Any time.

471
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,680
Thank you.

472
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:45,620
So where's the spot, guys?

473
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,420
Down the other end, I reckon. Yeah,
absolutely.

474
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,680
We don't want to go down there, do we?
That's where those idiot boys hang out.

475
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,639
It's okay.

476
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,640
They won't be there.

477
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,840
How do you know?

478
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,200
I had to talk to them. They're surfing
another beach for the summer.

479
00:23:57,580 --> 00:23:59,040
Really? Yeah, how come?

480
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,860
Like I said, most people are reasonable.

481
00:24:01,460 --> 00:24:05,280
You just have to talk to them politely.
Oh, come on. There's got to be more to

482
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,079
it than that.

483
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Trust me.

484
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:09,080
Good manners are a force to be reckoned
with.

485
00:24:09,820 --> 00:24:11,480
So come on, what are we waiting for?

486
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:12,900
Yeah, let's get out of there.

487
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,420
None of us ever did find out what Adam
really said to those guys. But we were

488
00:24:17,420 --> 00:24:20,620
all happy that peace had returned and
good manners prevailed.

489
00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:24,380
Okay, so maybe there was more to it than
just good manners.

490
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,260
But a girl can dream, can't she?

491
00:24:36,990 --> 00:24:38,470
my choice and not enough
