- [Heath] Only one thing now stood between us

and the finals of the Solar Blue surf-off:

that was our end-of-year school results.

Just like the lottery, you hope you get lucky,

and the numbers would fall your way.

[Edge cheering, yelling)

- You did it?!

- %, yeah! [Bec shrieks)

- I told you you'd make it!

- So where's the party gonna be?

We've got a whole year's results to celebrate.

- Hold on, aren't we like,

forgetting someone?

- Didn't Heath come out with you?

- Edge?

- I guess he's still inside.

- Well done, Judy.

Congratulations.

[birds chirping)

So, Heath.

Lucky last, eh?

- Mr. Savin, if you're gonna fail me,

I'd rather you make it quick.

- Oh, actually, it's not that simple.

- Why not?

- You're right on the line, Heath.

I could give you %, which means you'll fail,

or I could give you %, and you'll pass.

- So, my future's in your hands, then.

- Ah, no, mate.

You can't palm it off that easily.

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

entirely with you.

[sassy rock music)

- Something's wrong, where is he?

- Relax, Fly.

He'll be here.

- Why is he taking so long?

- Well somebody has to be last, don't they?

Heath just drew the short straw.

- The real problem with you, Heath,

is that you push your luck.

- Well the way I see it Mr. Savin

is that's what life is all about.

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

- Yes, but you have to put yourself in a position

to take advantage of the luck when it comes.

- Like?

- Like homework and study,

so you're ready to get lucky in exams.

Like practice and training,

so you can get lucky in a surf comp.

- Maybe.

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

Heads you pass, tails you fail.

[Heath scoffs)

- You're gonna toss a coin to determine my result?

- I agree, not exactly education department policy.

- But if it's tails, it's all over for me with Solar Blue?

- Yeah, but that's luck, Heath, right?

- Right.

- Here's to your future.

[coin clinks)

[slapping)

Let's see what luck's delivered you this time,

shall we, Heath?

- I'm going in.

- Fly, you can't do that.

- He might've failed and snuck out the back way.

I just wanna see if he's still there.

- Fly.

- I won't be long, I just-- - Fly!

- Well?

- Exactly %.

But it's a pass!

[all cheering)

[upbeat rock music)

- Now we really can party!

- I think we should go somewhere totally cool.

Somewhere where we can dance.

- Yeah!

- And I'm not saying we have to go formal,

but no baggy t-shirts, and definitely no shorts!

- The style queen has spoken!

- That's right!

[door shutting)

- Has anyone seen the iron?

It was missing yesterday.

- Edge was using it on his hair.

- You iron your hair?!

- Shut up, Matt!

I don't iron my hair!

- Judging from the mood here,

I'd say you all passed?

- Got it in one, Jilly!

- Well, except Matt.

- Matt?

- Got a certificate of distinction.

[Jilly gasps) - Congratulations!

- Suck!

- And Fly and I got credit awards.

- Well done.

- Yeah, they're double sucks.

[Matt chuckling)

- Hey, just in time, you two!

We're issuing invitations to the big night out.

- We all passed!

- That's fantastic news.

- Unreal!

% qualification for the final surf-off.

[Heath clicks tongue) - And tonight,

we are ready to rock! - Yeah.

- And you guys have to join us.

You too, Jilly!

- Uh, we appreciate the offer,

but we might give it a miss.

- No, we want you to come!

- Yeah!

We'll pick a place you'll like.

- I'm sorry guys, what I mean is,

I don't think any of us should go out tonight,

including you.

- [Matt] How come?

- Deb,

we're about to become Simmo's prisoners

for a whole week of training before the comp!

What is the problem with going out tonight?

- Well, there's been a slight hiccup.

- What hiccup?

- The tail end of a cyclone

is going to hit the entire east coast next week.

- Andrew Mitchell has told us

to move the whole comp forward.

- How far forward?

- Tomorrow. - Tomorrow?!

- You've got to be kidding me.

- He can't do that!

- He runs Solar Blue, he can do whatever he wants, Edge.

- Why can't he wait for a few more days?

- Well, he's going overseas,

and he wants everything finalized before he leaves.

- Guys, it's sudden.

It's not as bad as you think.

- It's worse!

None of us will be prepared properly.

- This is the biggest comp of our lives!

- Yeah, we need to get ourselves ready!

- Wrong.

You are all as fit and ready

as you will ever be.

You've been in daily training for a year.

- Yeah, but what about mentally?

We have to get into the right frame of mind.

- Think positive.

It's all you've gotta do.

- The fact is, guys, whether we like it or not,

the final is tomorrow.

And we have to live with that.

[Anna groans)

[melancholy guitar music)

- What are you doing?

- Getting my stuff together.

- It's a surf comp, dude,

not an expedition to the Amazon.

- Listen.

I know you think I'm being my usual, anti-social self--

- Nah, we wouldn't think that, Edge.

- Yeah well,

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

Sorry, but,

it's all about winning now,

and I aim to giving my best shot.

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

No offense.

Good luck, huh?

- Yeah, you too, man.

- Yeah.

Good luck, Edge.

- Yeah.

♪ I don't wanna see them blue ♪

- Guess he's right.

It's all or nothing now.

- [Perri] Are you sure this is really necessary, Bec?

- I know it seems kinda stupid,

but I've been training for this weekend my whole life.

And suddenly it's here, and--

- It's gonna be really hard for all of us.

Suddenly our best friends have become our biggest enemies.

- But only until this comp's over.

- Only until the comp's over.

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

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

[scraping)

- [Anna] Where's Bec going?

- [Fly] Back to her folks' place.

- [Anna] Why?

- Needs some space, I suppose.

- So, that's why Edge is camping out?

- Guess so.

- What about you?

- What about me?

- Do you

need some space, too?

- Listen.

When you're used to sharing a room with five sisters,

this place gives me more space than I've had

in my whole life.

- So, I don't need to move out, then?

- Don't you dare!

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

[Anna giggles)

[insects chirping)

- [Heath] The worst thing about big events

is always the night before.

That's when the gremlins come.

When the doubts set in.

[mellow guitar music)

- [Perri] I'll never beat the others.

They're so good!

[waves crashing)

I'm not even in the race.

- [Matt] Am I good enough to win tomorrow?

[jail cell bars clinking)

I mean, really good enough?

- [Anna] Come on, Anna.

You've been in plenty of competitions.

You know how to win.

[water crashing)

Stop thinking about it.

- [Heath] I just need that lucky break.

One, good, lucky break.

[smacking)

- [Edge] I will win tomorrow.

I will win.

[waves crashing)

Losing is not a possibility.

- [Bec] I've beaten them before.

I know I can beat them again.

I know it.

[water crashing)

- [Fly] I should be planning my tactics,

but I'm so sleepy.

Hope the weather's nice tomorrow.

- Nice day for it.

- Doesn't get any better.

- How do you think they'll go?

- You mean,

who do I think will win?

- Yeah.

- I can't pick it.

Most years it's easy to see the standouts.

This year, any one of 'em could win.

[Edge grunting)

- He's taking it pretty seriously.

- Well, he's determined to win.

- Yeah, but this k*ller karate thing's

taking it a bit too far, don't you think?

- Winners always take it too far, Deb.

That's what makes 'em winners.

["Pictures of You" by The City Lights)

[beeping)

- [Heath] Here we are on Blue Water Beach

for the last time.

It's the final showdown,

and the results will change two of our lives forever.

- Okay guys, listen up.

It's business as usual.

Three heats.

The winner will be whoever scores the highest total.

This is what the whole year has been about.

Any questions?

Okay.

Andrew just wants to say a few quick words.

Andrew?

- Don't worry guys, I'm not gonna lay a big speech on you.

I just want to remind you

that right now,

there's nothing between you.

You're all in a position to win.

So good luck.

- Okay.

Girls are up first.

Go! [all cheering, applauding)

[music slows)

- So, Andrew.

What do you think?

- I think you've outdone yourself, Simmo.

The standard is fantastic.

- Well, as much as I'd like to take all the credit myself,

there's a fair amount of natural talent.

- We'll go straight into the next round

and then break for lunch.

Is that okay with you?

- Yeah, let's get into it.

- Okay girls, let's go.

Second heat's about to start.

[air horn blaring) [music getting faster)

[waves crashing)

- How could anyone pick a winner from them?

Or, from us, either?

- Okay.

Let's bring them in.

[air horn blaring)

[mellow rock music)

[camera shutter clicking)

- [Jilly] Any clear winners emerging yet?

- If there is, I can't pick 'em.

What are the judge's scores like?

- Well, there's only half a point between the lot of them.

- Could be embarrassing.

Might be a seven-way tie.

[Deb chuckles nervously)

- Then what do we do?

- I wouldn't panic just yet.

Last heat normally sorts 'em out.

- Look at the poor things.

They must be going through hell.

[air horn blaring)

[energetic rock music)

- [Bec] One more heat.

Come on, Bec.

You can do it.

You have to do it!

- [Perri] Don't give in, Perri.

[water splashing)

Your arms don't really ache.

Your legs aren't really falling off.

- [Anna] Keep relaxed.

Breathe steady.

Hold your rhythm.

- [Fly] This isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I don't know why,

but I'm really enjoying it.

[air horn blaring)

- [Edge] You're nearly there, Edge.

minutes and you'll have climbed the mountain.

[water splashing)

- [Matt] Come on, Matt.

Stay focused.

Just one last set of waves.

- [Heath] It's all down to luck now.

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

[wave crashing)

[waves crashing)

[crowd chattering)

- Hey guys?

I just want you to know that

surfing out there was awesome today,

and you were all fantastic from where I sat.

- You weren't so bad yourself, Miss Style Queen.

- And, whoever wins,

I just wanna let you know,

that I still think you're all beautiful,

and I love you all!

- Yeah, I love you all too,

but I love myself the most.

And I just want you to know

that I'm gonna k*ll anyone that dares to beat me.

- Well, I don't think you're gonna have to wait too long

to find out who lives or dies.

[papers rustling)

- Okay. [camera shutters clicking)

First thing I wanna do

is congratulate you

on what was probably the best surf-off

in the academy's history.

But sadly, there can only be two winners.

And I guess you're pretty desperate

to find out who they are!

It's been a big day, and a big year for Solar Blue,

as you all know.

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

[applause)

So we'd like to thank

Perri,

Matt,

Edge,

Bec,

Anna,

Fly,

and even you, Heath.

[audience laughs)

So, without further ado,

I'd like to invite the winners to come forward

and accept their official invitations

to next year's pro circuit!

[audience slow clapping) [energetic rock music)

This year's Solar Blue Champions,

Fiona Watson,

and Dean Edgely!

[audience cheering, applauding)

- Yeah, all right!

- [Simmo] Yeah!

- Whoo!

- All right!

- Yeah!

[camera shutter clicks)

- Thanks.

- Hey, Miss Fly!

What, you're too good to talk to me

now that you're a superhero?

- Get off!

I've been looking for you, you big gumby!

- Hey, no need to get personal.

- Mr. Savin called by after the final.

He said to give you this as a memento.

- [Heath] Why would he give me this?

- Maybe it's a two-heads.

- Huh?

- It's got heads on both sides.

See?

- What?

- He also said to remind you that,

that good luck is all about good preparation.

[Heath chuckles)

What's so funny?

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

I might have to change my mind about something!

[lively rock music)

- Cool.

So are you prepared enough

to try your luck on the dance floor?

- Totally prepared!

I've been prepared for nothing else all night.

- So, how does it feel to be a winner?

- Really strange.

I thought it'd be good,

but all I can think about it is leaving all this behind.

- So you'll actually miss some things here.

- I'll actually miss someone here.

- Maybe you can still see that someone

when you're here in town?

- I really hope so.

- You do realize that we're a couple of losers, Matt?

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

- Hey, that college you were thinking of going to

down in Melbourne,

were you serious about that?

- Yeah, why?

- Well, my uncle owns a company down there

and he's offered me a job.

- You're kidding.

- Well, there's some good breaks down south.

Maybe a change of scene might help my technique.

- So you'll go?

- Well, unless I'll cramp your style.

- What style?

Haven't you noticed?

I don't have any style!

- Maybe I could help you get some.

- That is the best offer

I've ever had.

[Perri giggles)

- So, how long until you go back to Germany?

- Well, actually I found

a very good kiteboarding school in Manly.

- What, so you're staying on?

- It's two months before the season starts in Europe,

and Deb and Simmonds said I could stay, so...

- So, that's fantastic!

I'm so happy!

- And I'm happy that you're happy.

- You want some help?

- Nah, I'll be all right.

Just, if the cleaner comes,

make sure he doesn't vacuum us off the floor.

[both giggling)

[music slows to a stop)

[birds chirruping)

- Heath, Fly!

Come on, wake up, you two!

We've got something to do.

- What, now?

- Yes, now!

Come on, get up!

Anna!

Anna, wake up.

Shh!

Sorry, we need you to join us.

Don't wake Joe.

[slow rock music)

[yawning)

- What's wrong with you lot?

Can't you take a party anymore?

- [Matt] All I can say Edge, is this better be good.

- Yeah!

Since when does being a champion

give you the right to rule over our sleep?

- Come on, you grumps.

This is important.

Who can tell me what this is?

- Well it's what we in the English-speaking world

call a door.

[Edge chuckles)

- You woke us all up to ask us that?

- No.

I woke you all up

because this is the last time we'll be together as a group.

Ever.

- And?

- And, we thought before we split,

we should do one last thing together.

- Are you suggesting we g*ng-tackle the door?

- That's a bit savage.

- No, idiots.

On this side of the door is our past.

And on that side is our future.

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

Okay, I know it sounds kinda corny.

But I just thought we had to do something.

- It is corny, but,

it's nice, too.

- Yeah.

I think it's a great idea.

- Me too.

- Come on, guys.

What do you say?

- Hey, I love corn.

Corn's my middle name!

- Me too.

If there's corn around, count me in.

- All right, everybody in a line!

Let's link arms.

- Our futures are only one step away.

- Okay guys, there's a big, bad world out there

ready and waiting.

Let's step out to meet it together.

- I don't think I wanna go.

- Yes, you do, Fly!

- [Bec] Okay everyone,

on the count of three.

- [All] One,

two,

three!
