Blue Water High

Fly is homesick and accidentally runs up a huge bill on Anna's mobile. She secretly starts work at a carwash to try and pay it off but breaks the machinery, ending up deeper in debt. She's about to quit when the team comes to her rescue.

Anna's last on the academy's scoreboard, and despite Simmo's coaching, her surfing is deteriorating. Homesick for Germany, Anna can't see how she'll ever compete with the others. She books her ticket home and gives away precious surfing points until Perri reveals a confidential Solar Blue file. Inside is a letter from her old coach saying she'll never make it—all the motivation Anna needs to stay. Perri agrees to give her extra coaching, and Anna's back on track.

Edge is losing surf competitions because he won't take Simmo's advice to do fewer crowd-pleasing aerials and more judge-pleasing maneuvers. Edge goes kite-boarding in rough seas after only one lesson because he's sure he's got the talent to handle it. After he crashes and almost drowns and Bec puts her own life at risk to rescue him, there appears to be a spark between the two tough surfers. Edge is forced to rethink his attitude.

Bec's friendship with her brother Joe has suffered since she made it into the Academy. When she catches him stealing surfboards, the team pressures her to call the police, but she knows this could destroy their relationship.

A shark scare brings everyone's greatest fear to the surface. Matt's seemingly unshakeable until his father, Ewan, unexpectedly arrives. Matt has his own plans for the future, but his fear of disloyalty to his father affects his surfing.

Perri's parents have cut off her credit card. When a rival sponsor offers her a modeling contract, she thinks about leaving Solar Blue Academy. The modeling contract falls through at the last minute, so Perri's back to square one.

Matt and Edge are vying for the top position on the Academy scoreboard, and their friendly competition quickly gets out of control. Egged on by Heath and the arrival of a pretty new girl, they challenge each other to a dangerous surfing stunt. When the stunt almost kills Bec's little brother Ben, Matt and Edge realize there's a difference between acceptable risk and irresponsible behavior.

Fly's having strangely romantic dreams about Heath, and she's desperate not to give away how she feels. On the eve of her birthday, she complains to Anna about missing her friends back home—and about being treated like a little kid. Anna organizes a party to cheer her up, making the others take Fly on a surfing trip so it can be a surprise. After a comedy of errors trying to avoid Heath, Fly ends up having to own up to her feelings.

Perri rescues someone from the surf, only to discover that he's an adrenaline junkie who's risked both their lives to seek attention. She's hailed as a hero but is so traumatized that she vows never to rescue anyone again. It's Matt who gives her the confidence to go back on patrol. He teaches her some self-defense techniques so she won't have to risk her own life to save someone else's.

Deb asks the team to judge each other in a surf competition, so they conspire to score each other highly. Heath's keen on the new girl, so a jealous Fly deducts points from his score and spoils the scoring plan.

Fly's losing surf contests, so she surfs to win at a regional girls' competition. The boys are supposed to be support crew but get caught up in a battle of practical jokes. Perri is not laughing when she's caught in the crossfire.

After pushing herself to the limit with a hardcore training regime, Anna decides it's time to be a normal teenager. The others are busy making a video presentation to win sponsorship for some new boards. On a date with Bec's brother Joe, Anna loses track of time. She misses the deadline for the video and almost ruins her friends' chances for sponsorship.

Perri's diabetes is revealed when she collapses into a coma. Deb's forced to tell Solar Blue, who are nervous about sponsoring a surfer with a potentially life-threatening condition. Matt campaigns on Perri's behalf, and she's allowed to stay. The only obstacle left—convincing Perri that diabetes won't stop her from being a champion.

Edge alienates the boys with his 'win at all costs' attitude at a triathlon event by not helping Matt when he falls off his bike. To teach him a lesson, Heath doesn't bother to pick up a race marker when it falls over, and Edge takes the wrong path, getting completely lost in the national park.

Edge assumes Bec will be his partner for the school formal. Bec, sick of being taken for granted, invites Heath to be her partner instead. Chasing some big waves just before the dance, Edge takes Heath's jet ski without asking and damages it accidentally. It all comes to a head when Heath sees his dented jet ski. The night ends in a fistfight on the dance floor, and Bec is left wondering just what she saw in Edge.

Bec is invited to a big wave competition in Tahiti, but she's nervous about surfing heavy waves and, at the same time, trying to get Edge out of her head. The other girls suspect Bec has been chosen because she knows the competition organizers and give her the cold shoulder. When Edge points this out during a massive fight with Bec, she takes a risk surfing in huge swell and ends up in the hospital.

Perri's feelings for Edge come to a head when she's spooked by a tramp hiding out in the board shed. When Edge accompanies her back to the shed in search of a lost ring, she kisses him. Edge is quite confused but wants to forget it; after all, he's keen on Bec. Consumed with guilt, Perri tries to make things 'normal' with Edge, and that's when Matt and Bec find out. The team's training regime is stepped up a notch when they are forced by Deb to train fully clothed in the pool to build up their strength: they are not happy!

Heath is pressured by a ruthless surf magazine editor to secretly take 'behind the scenes' photos of the Academy couples and their romantic antics. Deb's also keeping close watch on the starry-eyed pairs, worried there's too much fooling around and not enough training. Simmo's solution is to throw extra training at the team in the vain hope they'll be too exhausted for a social life.

Heath persuades Anna to sneak down the coast with him for a kiteboarding competition. Anna wins the competition and is faced with a dilemma. She's also won entry into the junior team—should she give up surfing and return to her first love?

Bec negotiates for Blue Water to hold the local surf comp. They agree to pay for everything but a band for the after-party. The team's own band could play—but Fly's musical ability threatens to turn it into a disaster.

Heath's perpetual lateness affects his year ten certificate exam. Simmo has no choice but to deduct points, which means he might not even qualify for the wild card in the comp. The team helps Heath claw back the points he needs.

It's what everyone's been working for—the final competition for a wildcard into the World Championship Tour. Bec and Edge move out to focus on winning, Heath confronts the reality of his exam results, and everyone surfs brilliantly!
