Surf's Up Page #8

Synopsis: This story follows a teenage rock hopper penguin named Cody Maverick from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins think he's nothing but a surfing fool, to the "Big Z Memorial Surf Off" on Pen Gu Island. Young Cody is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfing in honor of "Big Z," a deceased surfing legend whom he has idolized since childhood. But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The current champ, egotistical Tank Evans, isn't just about to let this little penguin knock him from first place without a fight. When Cody wipes out and encounters Geek, a recluse aging former surfer, living in the jungle, he learns some important lessons about life and surfing, and even teaches Geek a thing or two.

- Right.

Look at what Cody did...

Go back to the

"winning isn't everything" thing.

That doesn't compute, really.

You know what, Glen? I really hope

someday you can be more like Cody.

This interview is over.

Remember when were talking

about you leaving? That was great.

Remember when

you were gonna go?

- We were gonna go...

- You should still go.

It's technical equipment.

I know what I'm doing. I can unplug

one of your little Hollywood devices.

The lighting thing,

whatever you call that...

...and then the microphone thing.

Go back to Hollywood.

Cody would never do this.
