Surf's Up Page #6

Really?

Yeah. Better than winning,

the trophy, all that stuff.

Tube riding

is the ultimate thing in surfing...

...to ride inside the wave

and make it out of it.

It's all we want to do every day.

It's almost impossible to describe.

There's nothing I can compare it to.

It's a feeling that not too many people

will experience...

...so it's special in that sense.

Then you try to remember it.

Like, "I wish I could remember that,"

or "I wish I could get that again."

It's so addicting.

Once you get inside

you never want to get out.

- Wow. That's amazing.

- Yeah, man. Nothing like it.

So, that aside, how many points

would you get for getting tubed?

Like, what does it depend on

for the contest?

- Points?

- What?

You know who you

sound like right now?

I promote happiness!

Can you see the happiness emanating

from me? What's wrong with you?

- We're live.

- Good. Good.

I have to say, I have no doubt

that this year's Big Z Memorial...

...is gonna be the best ever.

With the competition

just one day away...

...the excitement is definitely building

here on Pen Gu Island.

That didn't take too long.

I feel lightheaded.

So get this.

On my search for Cody,

I bump into my hot tub buddies again.

I get it. You guys look hungry.

You've probably got

the munchies or something.

Squidito on el stickito?

Check it out! Dude,

have you seen my friend Cody?

He's kind of like a penguin.

He's got a lot of black on him,

a lot of white.

- How did you learn how to surf?

- I saw Big Z do it, actually.

I don't think you were born yet.

- I wasn't?

- No, I don't think so.

Lani? I like her when

she teaches us because...

Smudge! Not another one!

I think he really has to go

to the bathroom right now.

What's next? The board is done.

- The board is done?

- The board is done.

- Well, let's do some training.

- Finally!

- Can we get a shot of you...

- You've got to get it in a long shot.

Hey, Z! Come on!

- Where you going?

- I thought we were going to train.

Not in the water. Jeez.

What are you thinking?

- You want to surf like Big Z used to?

- Yeah.

I've got some tests here

to figure out your potential.

- Let's do it.

- No, put them on your eyes.

- Like this.

- On my eyes.

- Take it, Cody.

- Can we do some training, seriously?

What are you talking about?

What do you think we're doing?

Acting like nutjobs.

That's what I think we're doing.

Yeah, good. You're learning!

And a big set comes in.

Wipeout!

- That's it!

- Take it easy!

This is getting ridiculous.

- You having fun?

- I hate you.

Big, you know, slow:

He does this flip over the top.

All right, now you go.

No joy, man. No joy. Fail.

I'm starting to see it, man. I think

I know what you're talking about.

That's great. As long as

we're all having fun, right?

Z, wake up. Wake up, Z. Z!

Hey, Z, breakfast!

Not a chance.

- Four, three, two...

- You gotta get up early in the morning...

...one.

That is fun.

- You're having fun?

- I am. Yes. Now I am.

Then, Cody...

...you passed!

- What?

You did it! You're ready! Let's surf!

Don't play me, Z. We're surfing?

Yes! Yes!

Hey, check it...

I didn't know you could surf!

Relax!

Long, slow, smooth.

- Like making the board!

- There you go.

- All right. Okay.

- Feels good, yeah?

- You're in the water, Z!

- Come on out. Get wet! Come on!

Lani, thank you.

Look at that!

- Nice! That's it! Nice.

- Great ride!

Big Z is back!

This is what it's all about.

What could be better than this?

I need some help

on this landing for the high note

Nice. Nice.

- Is that the only song that you know?

- Pretty much.

You want to hear it again?

It goes like this.

No? Okay. I got you there, didn't I?

I must say you were

quite amazing out there today.

- You weren't so bad yourself, kiddo.

- Thanks to this guy.

- I just pointed you in a direction.

- Question, Z.

- Change your mind about the song?

- No, no, no.

Here, it goes something like this...

I was wondering if you could come

watch me ride tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah. We'll both ride, man.

- No, not just... In the contest.

- Contest? What contest?

The Big Z Memorial.

Remember that one?

I know I'm asking a lot...

...but it would really, really be...

...the biggest thing in the world

to me if you could come.

- You still want to be a part of that?

- Absolutely.

- Why do you want me there anyway?

- I thought you'd want to be there.

- I don't know why it's a big deal.

- It's no big deal.

Why won't you come?

- I'm not coming.

- Why?

- Give it a rest.

- It's getting cold, guys.

- Tell me why you're hiding.

- Hiding?

- Why are you hiding?

- I'll have to eat all this by myself.

Why didn't you come back

after you fell off the wave?

That wave.

That last day, winning had

become everything to me.

I knew I was gonna beat Tank.

But then, you know,

he starts to surf circles around me.

I saw what he was doing.

I couldn't do what he was doing.

Times had changed.

I didn't want to walk back

on that beach with all my fans there.

A loser. Everyone looking

at Big Z, the loser, the has-been.

So...

Big Z's dead,

and that's how it's gonna stay.

Let me play you that song.

What about "never give up"?

What about "find a way"?

- You're giving up. You're giving up!

- Yeah, I'm giving up. That's my way.

- Giving up.

- I thought you were the one guy.

You don't like it, find your own way.

Leave me out of it.

Leave me out of it.

I messed up.

I'm just...

I'm... not good.

This is when I needed someone.

I needed him.

It's hard enough

losing one dad, but...

- What do you mean by...?

- Nothing.

Nothing, man. Forget it.

Peaceful. Peaceful.

I'm in peace. I come in peace.

- Cody!

- Joe!

- I've been looking everywhere for you!

- You've been looking for me?

I didn't lose you on the whale.

I'm not gonna lose you now.

- Thank you. Seriously, thank you.

- Radical.

They're starting!

Cody, we gotta go! Come on!

Wait a minute. Joe?

Surfers riding...

I'm sorry. Watch this, dude.

I can speak their language.

I totally need my board. I don't

know where it is. I gotta go find it.

- I'll see you in the lineup.

- See you, Joe.

- This is gonna be fun, huh?

- See you.

The tenth annual Big Z

is about to get underway...

...and, whoa, it is the day of days.

Big mountainous bombs

marching into our coastline.

Kelly Slater, on a danger level,

one to ten, give me a number.

Twenty.

- Wow. Rob?

- There'll be blood.

I'm scared, and I'm in the booth!

- What are you doing here?

- Mike.

You're gonna kill yourself.

Don't do this to yourself.

Look what happened last time.

- It's good to see you back.

- Are you serious?

You're gonna be

a real crowd pleaser.

I'm telling you,

these people are gonna eat you up.

- I'll be expecting big things from you.

- Thank you.

People, big announcement.

Cody Maverick, he's back.

The Wipeout King is back...

...and I'm gonna tell you,

start looking for the sharks.

They'll be circling because
