Radio announcer: good morning, ocean shores!

It's a beautiful day out there, folks.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing...

[Gasps]

And the kids are finally going back to school!

Good morning, ocean shores!

So long, summer.

I miss you already.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing...

Good morning, ocean shores!

[Knocking on door]

Mrs. Rodriguez: open the door right now, maurice!

You are going to go to school!

[Deep voice]: I'm sorry, maurice isn't here right now.

Good morning, ocean shores!

Oh, finally!

The sun is shining...

Nice one, dude.

Watch this.

Will you guys knock it off?

We're going to be late.

This is the last ride of the summer, reg.

Who know when we're going to get to skate again?

Maybe this afternoon?

We're going to school, not prison.

What's the difference?

I like the first day of school.

New teachers, new book covers...

The smell of freshly sharpened pencils...

Hey, what do you think of my new calculator?

It says "squid" all over it, squid.

I picked it out myself.

Otto: from now on

Life's going to be

Nothing but homework, boring books and tests.

Don't forget detention.

Come on, it's not going to be that bad.

I had mr. Viafiore last year.

He didn't give much homework.

He was actually pretty cool.

He retired, reg.

We got some new guy.

Yeah, it says on our slip

That we got some dude named mr. B. As our teacher.

For all I know, this mr. B. Could be the toughest dude to ever teach in ocean shores.

He, he might make me...

Pay attention!

[Sighs]

Ten seconds till the new dude.

I've got a bad feeling about this, twist.

[Door opens]

We're doomed!

I can't look!

[Footsteps]

How bad is it?

Tell me!

Don't tell me.

It's... It's...

Conroy!

Huh?

Actually, otto

It'smr. Blanc.

Hello, class.

All: hello, mr. Blanc.

Conroy is our new teacher?

It's mr. B., Twister.

While you little skate rats were leaving your handprints at madtown

I was finishing grad school for my teaching degree!

Both: no way!

Way.

And don't worry.

My teaching here does not mean that madtown will be closed.

I will still coach the school skateboard team.

So, when do we start skating?

After school.

And I'm not giving out any homework in honor of the first day of classes.

[Laughs]

[Cheering]

Twist, can you say

Greatest year of school ever?

Woogedy-woogedy-woogedy-woogedy!

All right!

Whoo-hoo!

What are you two so happy about?

Two words: our new teacher is conroy, baby.

That's six words, twist.

So?

Reggie: that is so cool.

I wish conroy was my teacher, too.

You guys are so lucky.

Tell me about it.

He bagged homework on the first day

So we could skate.

Maybe he won'tever give us homework!

You're crazy.

Conroy's our bud. He's one of us.

He knows that nailing all these fakie flips off aerials

Is a lot cooler than...

Book things.

Besides, we're the two best skateboarders on the skate team

And we've got our first big contest coming up.

The less homework, the more time we have to practice. Duh!

This is a world gone mad!

[Bell rings]

Uh... Think we should head inside?

Dude, hello? Conroy.

Oh... Yeah!

[Bell rings]

Now, if you students will so kindly open your books to page...

Otto?

[Otto laughing]

Whoa, yeah!

[Clears throat]

Excuse me!

Hey, conroy!

What's up, dude?

The bell means it's time for class.

Kick it into high gear, you two.

And it's not conroy.

It's mr. B.!

Sorry, dude.

We'll be right up.

[Bell rings]

See you tomorrow, class.

Otto, twister, I want to talk to you.

What's up, conroy?

I mean, mr. B.

Hey, let's talk strategy

For the big freestyle contest tomorrow.

I was thinking of starting off with, uh...

This is not about skateboarding, twister!

It's about your behavior in school.

What do you mean?

Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.

Wow, you sound like my mom... Except your voice is deeper and your accent is different.

Let me get this straight. You're mad?

No, I'm very frustrated!

I know you boys know better.

Now, if you don't shape up, I'll be forced to take action.

What do u mean?

Detention, suspension

Getting cut from the skateboard team

Is what I mean!

Wow, we're sorry.

Sorry, dude.

Just because we're friends and you're on the team

I don't want other students thinking you get special treatment.

Special treatment?

Other students?

I read you loud and clear, mr. B.

Good! We can put all this behind us if you just do your homework.

Clear?

Crystal.

You got it, conroy.

Those guys are asking for it.

Dude, shouldn't we be doing our homework?

Conroy was pretty harsh today.

Don't you get it, twist?

Conroy just doesn't want the other kids to get jealous

Because the three of us are bros.

Really?

Think about it this way:

What really matters is the skate contest.

So it's like weare doing our homework.

Oh, yeah...!

Huh?

Conroy, my man.

Otto, twister.

I can call you conroy now, can't i?

That depends. I stop being your teacher when your homework is done.

Relax, conroy, we're doing it right now. Look.

This is no good!

It is obvious to me that you have no respect for me as your teacher!

We respect you as our team coach.

Yeah, what happened to our madtown skate bro?

He got taken advantage of by some friends of his!

I clearly warned you boys.

No homework, no contest.

But, but, but...

We've been practicing for the contest for weeks.

You should have thought about that

When you decided not to listen in school.

I warned you.

Now, instead of competition, you get detention.

There's no way my mom's going to understand this.

Aah... Aah...

Aah...!

Ooey!

Ow...

[Deep voice]: the dark sorceress

Must tend to my wounds.

[Normal voice, crying]: mommy, I need a band-aid!

We're getting creamed!

Next up for team madtown, oliver van rossum!

Aah... Oh, no!

[Grunts]

Oh...

Feels like we've been here forever!

I can't believe conroy turned on us like that.

Some friend.

I like the old conroy.

Remember when he let us in before madtown opened that day

And taught us the fakie supremo?

Yeah, he really helped us that day.

You know, twist, maybe we should help conroy for a change.

We kind of been acting like jerks.

I'm down with that.

Let's do it.

[Bell rings]

[Kids cheering in distance]

Can't we just watch one round?

Okay, okay!

[Kids cheering]

Otto: can we talk to you for a second?

What's this?

We made up all the homework assignments we blew off.

We even did the extra work.

It's called extra credit.

I know what extra credit is, twister.

Thank you.

Ah... This is... Very nice, guys.

Sorry we were jerks.

Yeah, won't happen again, con...

I mean, mr. B.

Mr. B... This is great!

Now let me tell you what I have planned

For next week's science lab!

Whoa!

Now, class, notice that oliver

Got some big air on that run

Only to rudely come crashing down to earth on the landing.

This is an excellent example of the laws of gravity at work.

You see, class...

Yeah!

Dude, how cool is this?

Wow, all of these years shredding on the ramp

I never knew I was so scientific.

Mr. B.'S not only a great guy

He's the best teacher we've ever had!

I can't wait to see how cool our homework for today is going to be!

Let's go!

Whoo-hoo!

[Laughing]: yeah!

Yahoo!

All right!

[Gulls cawing...]

[Whooping...]

Aah!

Whoa...!

Oh... Oh, no!

Whoa!

There's no way I'm ever going to do that.

I'll show you how it's done.

Reggie: be careful, rocket boy.

You've broken two boards this month!

Don't get too much air!

No such thing

As too much air!

Whoa...!

That's too much air, isn't it?

Ohh...!

[Grunts]

He even wipes out better than I do.

[Groaning]

I really ate it.

Looks like you ate your board, too.

Huh?

Oh, man, not again!

What are you worried about?

Your dad owns a surf shop.

Oh, don't remind me.

Ray: that's upside down!

You can't put that piece to that piece.

I don't think all the fiberglass in the world's

Going to bring this mess together, brother.

So... What kind of board am I getting this time, dad?

Hold on, rocket boy.

We need to discuss your habit of breaking boards

Before we talk about a new one.

The waves break the board, dad.

I just happen to be there at the time.

Good one, little brother.

That reminds me of the time

I paddled out in -footpakaha...

Spare us, bro, okay?

I'm trying to teach responsibility over here.

Oh, is that what you're doing?

[Humming...]

Now listen, otto.

We've had this discussion a thousand times before.

You have to learn to take care of your things.

I won't always be there to get you a new board...

[Voice fades]: every time...

Announcer: in a world where surfers rule the waves

And one surfer is king

There is otto rocket...

And his brand new short board.

Coming soon to a theater near you.

This film has not been rated.

Ray: ...every time you break one!

Otto! Otto!

And you thought my story wouldn't hold his attention.

Otto, snap out of it.

You act like boards grow on trees.

Actually, brother

Surfboards have a long history of growing on trees.

See, my grandfather planted a wiliwili tree

When I was a boy.

By the time it had grown big and strong, I had, too.

Perfect for a traditional hawaiian surfboard

Called anolo.

Only I never asked my grandfather

If it was cool to cut down that old wiliwili tree.

What happened? What did your grandfather say?

Only one thing: "the seagull that flies a crooked path

Has a tough time returning home."

Sounds like you got off easy.

No, I was grounded till I finished high school.

Oh...

Are you finished?!

Listen, otto, here's the bottom line.

You keep breaking your boards

I won't keep buying them.

You got to be more responsible.

Dad, I have to have a new board.

You own the store-- can't you just give one to me?

I have a better idea.

You could work it off by washing dishes

In the shore shack for one week.

Couldn't you just raise my allowance?

No.

Oh...

Okay, dad, you're on.

Hey, wait a minute!

That board doesn't touch the water

Until you learn the value of hard work.

When will that be?

Like I said, one week.

That's a lot of dishes, cuz.

[Sighs]

I figure with this board

I can go pro before the eighth grade.

Hey, you guys

I think you'll want to see this satellite image

I downloaded off the net.

What's that glob right there?

That's from a jelly donut.

Butthatglob is a big south swell.

They're predicting the biggest waves of the season!

People of otto, we got waves to surf! Come on!

Going somewhere, rocket boy?

A big south swell is going to hit and i... Was... Going to...

Finish the dishes, rocket boy.

Remember our deal... Rocket boy.

Dad... I'm going to do the work.

I'm just waiting a couple of days.

Sam's computer says I got to go surfing!

I have to! It's science!

Science, huh?

Why not try a little experiment with soap on dishes?!

No clean dishes, no new board.

Oh, man!

All right.

You guys go have fun.

I'll seeyou in the kitchen.

I don't believe this.

Tough break, ottoman.

Don't even talk to me, twister.

This is all your fault.

What?! I didn't do anything!

Yeah? If you had been able to get bigger air

I never would have broken my board!

That's not fair, otto.

Oh, really?

Well, neither is me having to do the dishes

While you go have all the fun.

Hey! Little brother!

Why are you stacking the dirty dishes?

They're not dirty-- I washed them!

[Sniffs] ooh... Crusty.

Radio announcer: it's pumping four to six feet out there today.

Head-high glassy waves... A great day to call in sick and hit the lineup, you guys.

The surf is definitely up!

Oh, man!

Tito, you must be itching to ride those big waves.

There's an ancient hawaiian saying:

When you're itching for the waves

The only lotion is the ocean.

Then let's paddle out!

Cuz...!

You can't throw in the dishtowel early.

We have jobs to do.

Aloha.

Argh...

Twister, what's wrong with you?

Yeah, you haven't called me squid in over an hour.

It's not as much fun without rocket boy.

It's still fun.

You're right.

I just wish otto was here.

I'll bet he's working hard right now.

I'm sure raymundo will let him off early.

Otto: whoo-hoo, yeah!

Rocket boy surfs past the teacups,

Into a strainer, then alley-oops

Onto the... Fork?

Ow!

Hey, guys.

Coast all clear?

Yeah. So how's the surf?

Nothing special.

You've seen one monster swell, you've seen them all.

Oh, man, I got to get out there!

Now, wait, otto, you can't just leave.

Otto, you're like a real employee here.

Yeah, real employees get breaks, right?

Look, even I could get away, I don't have a board.

Unless...

I borrow my best bro's board.

No way!

I've seen what you do to surfboards!

Total carnage!

Thanks, best bro.

Of course, there is one other option.

Earth to otto, you're not thinking what I think you're thinking.

Me? Uh, I'm not thinking a thing.

What a coincidence!

Don't worry, I'll meet you guys at the beach.

What are they thinking?

[Phone rings]

Hello, shore shack.

[Deep voice]: sir, you're our grand prize winner!

Winner of what?

[Deep voice]: uh, um, why, our grand prize.

Hold the line and don't move from where you're standing.

Our prize wagon wants to speak to you.

[Kid laughs]

[Man burps]

Hello?

Hello?! Prize wagon?!

Prize wagon?

Is it for me, brother?

[Otto whooping]

Sammy: it's rocket boy!

And he's got his new board!

Hello...

Does raymundo

Know about this, otto?

The deal was I wash the dishes

I get the board.

I say one clean stack of dishes

Gives me one hour of surf time.

I like how your mind works, rocket boy.

Doesn't sound like it's working to me.

Raymundo's not going to like this.

Hey! What's a little shrimp like you

Doing with an excellent board like this?

It happens to be the only board that can handle my moves.

From what I hear, you can't finish

Any of those so-called moves!

Yeah? Watch and learn, lars.

Reggie: no, otto, take the board back!

Don't let me down, baby.

Twister: that wave is huge!

Hoo...

Look how fast he's going!

All:whoa...

Whoa! He trying to nail the alley-oop!

With a tail slide on the side!

He's going to wipe!

Whoa... Whoa...

Please don't break the board.

Uh! Not again, not again!

Yeah!

[Cheering]

Hmm, not bad.

Bet you can't wait to tell raymundo, huh, otto?

[Gulps]

Raymundo?

Where you going, rocket boy?

[Caws]

That is the march

Of a crooked seagull.

Where have you been, otto?

I went surfing, dad.

I'm sorry.

I'd like to finish those dishes now

Andearnthis new board.

I made tito do those dishes.

But I'm sure we could dirty some up

For you to wash.

What do you say?

[Cheering and applause]

And you'll havetwoweeks of dishwashing to think about it.

[Yelps]

Uh... Uh, let me give you a hand

With those dishes, little brother.

Thanks, tito.

So, cuz, how were the waves?

Otto: awesome...

[Tito laughs]
