- All right, come on you lot, [bugs chirp)

let's get a move on, we'll miss your first hit.

- There you go, Simmo.

The bait's in there.

- Oh, Julie, thank you.

I might get to go fishing, you never know your luck.

- Speaking of which, good luck, girls.

- Thank you!

- Yes, thanks Julie! - Thanks Julie!

- [Simmo] Cheers, Julie.

- I still don't see why we're going,

it's an all-girl competition.

We don't even get to surf.

- Edge, I told you, mate.

You're there as support crew for the girls,

as one day, the girls will support you.

- Can't wait for that.

- Get in.

[waves gently crash)

- It wasn't me. [kids mumble)

[kids laugh)

- Did you see Jay in the, right?

- Really?

- Oh, stop being so loud, Fly,

we can't hear ourselves!

If I didn't know you any better,

I'd say you were nervous.

- You'd be right, too.

- You've done heaps of comps before, what's the problem?

- I haven't competed against Perry, Anna, and Bec before.

- Yeah, and?

- They're so much better than me.

- Are you serious?

Oh, that's crazy, you've got just as much talent

as any of them!

You'll be fine!

[mumbles)

- What the hell happened?

- It was pretty aggro out there.

- It's a regional comp, of course it was aggro.

You gotta find a way to deal with it.

You got one more chance to qualify, tomorrow.

- That's our sink.

Our stove.

And our toilet! [door rattles)

- I know where I'm crashing.

- Hey, stay outta there.

You lot are outside, in tents.

One tent for the boys, one for the girls,

except guys, you'll be putting up both tents

since you're not competing.

- What?

- You're kidding? - That's so unfair, Simmo.

- Get used to it.

The next three days, you do all the cooking,

cleaning, shopping, whatever it takes.

- Make way, folks!

Oh, you're not, gimme some.

No, no, no, [mumbles) I'm fine.

[girls laugh)

- [Guy] Mm!

- [Girl] That was my slice!

- Come on, Fly.

What's bugging you?

- You saw me out there today.

I was hopeless.

- You weren't hopeless, you just had a bad hate.

It can happen to anyone.

- The Hardy girl pulled my leg rope.

- Why didn't you tell someone?

You coulda lodged a protest.

- The point is, it just got to me.

I caved in.

- Okay, so you caved.

Tomorrow, you won't.

Doesn't mean it's fully composted yet.

So what's happening, Fly?

Come on.

You can talk to me.

- I do wanna win.

- Why?

- Why?

- Yeah, why?

- Because I know I can.

- And?

- And,

because.

I let people hassle me outta things.

I'm too polite.

I wanna be tougher.

- You need to connect with your inner mongrel.

- My what?

- Meet me at the beach, five in the morning.

[gentle rock music)

[crickets chirp)

- What is that smell?

- I dunno, it's probably the pit toilet.

- No, it's not the toilet, it smells like bad fish.

[bag rustles) It's coming from my bag!

[zipper zips)

What are fish doing in my bag?

Heath?

- It wasn't me!

- You've ruined my bag, man! - Hey, it wasn't me!

[Matt laughs)

- Matt?

That's it, you're dead.

[Heath laughs)

You put fish in my bag, mate! [pillows thump)

- [Heath] Oh, that's it!

- [Edge] Thought you'd get away with this, man.

What are you doing?

Hey, hey! [Heath mumbles)

- Knock it off!

You'll wake everyone up.

- He's wrecked my bag!

There's fish gunk all through it.

- I don't wanna hear about it.

All right, now no more practical jokes.

The girls really need to do well here this weekend,

and they need your help.

So no more goofing off, or I'll get angry.

Really angry.

You have to make the spot yours, own the zone.

Got it?

Okay, now I want you to pretend that this is a heat.

You're competing against me,

and I'm gonna do everything I can to put you off.

Let's go.

I'm really sorry, Perry.

Thanks a lot, Fly. - Bec!

Bec!

- Forget it, Fly.

She'll calm down, it's all part of winning and losing.

- Is it?

- Yeah, it is.

Right now, young lady, you are a winner.

You did everything we talked about, and more.

Well done. [upbeat rock music)

Edge, I told you, no more pranks.

You are so lucky that this comp

doesn't go towards Perry's ranking, if it did,

I would stripping points off you left, right, and center.

- I accept total responsibility.

- All right, good.

Glad you said that.

You know, me and my mates have been

coming here for nearly years.

Now in all that time, we've been using one torch

for the midnight run to the loo.

But last night, during a nature call,

I dropped the torch.

I would very much like to get it back.

[upbeat electronic music) Problem is,

that pit was dug over a year ago.

And there's a lotta Chiko rolls,

hot dogs, and meat pies down there.

Not to mention last night's pizza.

- Who would've thought little, innocent Fly

would pull such a snake act.

- But was it ill*gal? [birds chirp)

- No, but that's not the issue, is it.

The issue is she just went too far.

- How can you go too far in a competition?

- She just did, that's all!

- At least she didn't soap your board.

- Well yeah, with Edge and Fly on the squad,

who needs enemies?

[gentle guitar music)

- Where you going?

- We've been invited to a loser's party at the club house.

- A loser's party?

- It's a tradition.

Those who don't make the final get to throw a loser's party.

- But, seeing as you're such a winner,

you get to have an early night, and rest up for tomorrow.

Lucky you, eh?

What?

What?

Did I say something?

- I dunno who to be, anymore.

The old me was a loser who was nice to everyone,

and everyone liked me.

Now I'm this aggro nutcase who knocks people off waves.

- You didn't do anything wrong.

If you did, the judge's would've disqualified you.

- But you know what?

I was really happy that I won.

That I beat Bec.

- So what?

Do you reckon Bec would have worried if she had beaten you?

- I don't wanna be like that!

- Like what?

- Like a person who thinks that winning is everything!

- Just because you go all out to win

doesn't mean that you've become some antisocial weirdo.

- It does if it cost me my friends.

- Look, today you proved that you can be a real competitor.

Okay, they're not used to that.

Suddenly sweet, cute, little Fly has to be taken seriously.

[moves to upbeat electronic music)

- Can we talk?

- This is a party for losers, remember?

- I just wanted to say I'm really sorry

how things worked out.

- So you admit you snaked me?

- No, I'm just sorry you got knocked.

I don't want us to not be friends.

- So if you're actually not apologizing,

you aren't here to say--

- Come on Bec, you're being really slag.

She beat you fair and square,

and I don't know why you're being so touchy,

'cause I'm sure you've snaked people in the past.

- Only if they got in the way!

- Yeah, well, you got in Fly's way.

- You know what?

I don't need this right now, okay?

[party goers cheer)

- Don't let her get to you.

- Do you wanna dance?

- Here, now?

- Simmo, I don't feel so good.

I don't think I'm gonna be able to compete.

- Oh, you're gonna compete, Fly.

And you'll give it everything you've got.

- Honestly, I feel lousy.

- Well you shouldn'ta stayed out all last night

acting the goat, should you?

- [Fly] How did you--

- I wasn't born yesterday.

Right?

- [Fly] I know.

- Fly, you've got two choices here.

You can pack up your stuff

and get back to Western Australia,

or you can get out there and surf like there's no tomorrow.

It's up to you.

[door creaks and slams)

- I'm so tired, I can hardly see straight.

Stomach feels like I got big, green bugs swimming in it.

- [Heath] Yeah, and who's fault is that?

- I know, no need to rub it in.

- Now, the way I see it, if you wanna win,

the one you're gonna have to beat is that Hardy girl.

- I'm not gonna win, Heath.

You wanna know why?

I'm just not a competitor.

I haven't got the k*ller instinct.

- I know that, which is why Matt and I

have come up with a plan for your.

- So, this tea towel is the main zone, right?

This is the Hardy chick, and this is you.

Now the essence of this plan is to psych her out.

So instead of sitting in the takeoff zone,

you paddle hard out to one side.

You make her think that you know a better place to take off.

- I'm trying to lay a seed of doubt in her mind.

- Exactly!

So when she paddles across to find out what's going on,

then you move.

- Just one thing.

- What?

- What if she doesn't follow me out there?

- Then you'll probably lose.

- Great.

- Come on.

Time to get moving.

Bec?

- Come on, Bec, I think you're being really mean.

- All right, Fly.

Time to show 'em what you can do.

- I'll do my best.

- That's all I'm asking.

- You can do it, right?

- Listen for our cheering!

- We'll be totally over the top, promise.

- Thanks, guys!

- I don't wanna go anywhere near you, right?

- Good.

- I've been watching the swell.

They've been coming in in sets of three,

and the last one's usually the biggest.
