Surf's Up Page #2

- That's right, Sal.

- A moment of silence for them.

And we keep it moving because

if the Boneyards was not enough...

...our surfers will be facing off with

Tank "The Shredder" Evans.

Tank, nine-time defending champ.

A role model? No.

But I do consider myself somebody

that everyone should look up to.

Kids should try to pretend

that they're Tank.

I mean, they should try.

Good luck, kids.

You never want to get in there

and help them out...

...and show them how to surf

and spend some time with the kids?

No, I don't want to do that.

- Anyway, this is my wave.

- Always classy Tank Evans.

Coming up after the break,

penguin dodge ball. Stick around.

Okay, to get back to the competition,

I just want to say:

I'm scouring the globe

for the next big thing.

But that's another story.

He doesn't look for them.

I find them.

I find these penguins.

I find the talent.

Reggie has sent me everywhere

on this trip.

Anyplace there's an ocean...

...a lake, a puddle.

It's ridiculous.

I am on so much migraine medication,

you have no idea.

The stress is killing me. I don't know

how much longer I can last.

I have to tell you that right now.

You gotta try

this blowhole thing, man.

This whale dude

is giving me a brain freeze.

I lost a bet.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Does anybody

in this entire frozen wasteland surf?

- The Cody Maverick kid does that.

- Wonderful. Thank you.

You know, you're sitting on...

thin ice.

Excuse me, I'm looking for...

I'm looking for Cody Maverick.

- Has anyone seen Cody Maverick?

- I'm Cody Maverick.

Mike Abromowitz from the Big Z

Memorial Surf-Off, Pen Gu Island.

You came here on a wha...

You came to see me. Wow!

- Quite a slip-and-slider, aren't you?

- You're here. What an honor, sir.

Lovely. Wonderful. I hear you surf.

- Is this true?

- You gotta see what I can do.

- You can actually stand on a board?

- I'll be back.

You're gonna see what I can do

everything's gonna be good...

...and I'm coming with you.

- I can't imagine a better day.

Ma! Ma, he came... the scout.

Mikey. He came. He's here.

- What? Yeah.

- He's giving me a shot now, Ma.

You want to come watch me surf?

- No, that's okay.

- Just this time.

- I'm busy. I'm chopping here.

- Okay. All right, well, wish me luck.

Cody, just be careful

of those big waves.

Well, anytime now.

You should have been here yesterday.

We had a sweet swell yesterday.

I was doing some layback 360s

and floaters. It was insane.

Wow! Start the whale.

No! Wait! Wait!

Just give me one more chance.

- All I need is one, please.

- You just had it.

- Dude, please don't go.

- Tough break, kid.

- Just wait one second.

- Better luck next year. Move it.

- Let's go. He's coming!

- Just one wave. That's all I need.

I've never won anything

my whole life.

Just once I want to feel like a winner.

I used to scout songbirds. Toucans

for this musical revue in Brazil.

Now that's show business.

Toucans...

Hold on!

I don't care what you say,

I'm coming to Pen Gu!

No way, no how.

This is a contest for big-wave surfers.

Can't this blubber ball go any faster?

Step on it, fish sticks!

No, no, no, no!

Poor kid. I feel bad a little bit.

Honestly, this is embar...

No, wait! Wait!

Did you guys see that?

He almost had my board!

He almost had it.

Next time we'll get it.

- Yeah, so anyway...

- Wait!

We got you. We got you.

Oh, you are heavier than you look.

- Man, we did it.

- Thank you.

Teamwork always pays off.

- I'm Chicken Joe, man.

- Thanks, Joe.

Don't you ever, ever, do anything

like that in the contest, all right?

- I'm in?

- Yeah, you're in.

Because that was entertaining,

in a horrifying sort of way.

Right on, dude.

My name's Cody Maverick,

Shiverpool. You?

No, I'm not from Shiverpool.

- Where are you from?

- Dude, I'm from Lake Michigan.

That's where I surf.

I was the only one...

...around my town who did it.

A lot of people thought

I was crazy, but I'm used to that.

- I know how you feel, Joe.

- You do?

- Yeah.

- Radical.

- Butt freeze!

- Somebody help the chicken.

Look out!

Slater, Machado.

How's it going, bros?

- Good. Thanks.

- What's up, buddy?

Okay. Later, dudes.

Radical.

Dude, look where I'm standing.

I'm standing where Z stood.

- Aw, man.

- Dude, you gotta try this.

- No, I'm okay.

- Come on. Just one bite.

All right. One bite, that's it.

Yeah, yeah? What do you think?

It's not bad.

It kind of tastes like chicken...

Yep. What's chi-chi?

Coming through! Oh, crap.

Oh, man. I'm in love.

Help me! I'm drowning!

What are you standing here

next to me for? Go talk to her, man.

- I'm not gonna talk to her.

- She's digging on you.

- She called you crap.

- Joe.

- Thanks again.

- All right, well...

...this is the third time

you've been unconscious this week.

I just don't think

it's very good for your brain.

- I know. Bye, Lani.

- Okay.

Yeah, that was awesome

how you saved his life and all.

That was just unbelievable. Really.

You here for the surf contest?

- Well, I'll be watching you.

- Really? You'll be watching me?

Well, yeah,

from the lifeguard station.

- Yeah. Right.

- It's my job.

- That's your job.

- Are you gonna kiss her?

- What's going on?

- Come on, Joe.

- You were saying you were in love...

- No, I didn't say that.

- Look, he really digs you.

- Joe, listen...

He likes you, though. See you.

I love my job.

I have an amazing job.

Just this week, with the contest...

...it's a little crazy. You really

have to be extra, extra attentive.

When you have so many guys

in the water you can't miss a thing.

But you know what? I have a perfect

record. I've never lost anybody.

Sure, there have been

close calls, but...

- Help!

- Oh, Arnold. I turn my back for one...

- Just lay some feeling on her.

- How do you mean?

- Through words. Through touch.

- Walk me through the approach.

- I'm Lani. You're me.

- You sure about that?

- I get real serious.

- Let's not. Let's not.

- Whoa.

- What is it?

That's it! That's Big Z's shrine.

- Remember?

- No, no. Not really.

Today, the world of surfing

lost one of its legends.

Big Z took his final ride

this morning...

...during a competition with

up-and-coming surfer Tank Evans.

Z was last seen paddling into

a massive swell off Pen Gu Bay.

Friends of Big Z gathered

to remember and celebrate his life.

Great shot!

What? Hey!

- Every time.

- He's got a pretty good throwing fin.

Stop doing... Stop it! Cut it out!

- That's like three in a row.

- Here, give it a shot.

What? Wait a minute. Look at this.

- Don't. Stop it.

- It's a Big Z necklace.

That's not funny. Stop.

Stop! What are you doing?

Look, everybody, it's Big Z's last fan!

Coming through.

Out of the way. Let's go.

- You don't deserve to talk about him.

- He's a big zero.

- Shut your mouth!

- Zero starts with "Z"!

You'll never be

as good as Big Z, Stank.

Hey, hey, people, come on now.

Smile on your brother.

- Keep your girlfriend out of this!
