Eric has a crush on Juliet, a girl at school and enlists the help of Amy to give him a few tips on communicating with girls. Meanwhile, Brooke's surfing is suffering and she asks Simmo if she can do bodyboarding. She is denied, so Brooke runs off to a bodyboarding competition without the permission of Simmo.

Fly tries teaching basic fitness techniques to the team, but they are not participating to the best of their ability. Simmo is angry that the kids aren't following Fly's advice, so he organises a surfing competition that sets Fly against this year's entire Solar Blue surfing team. Meanwhile, Heath goes for a job position as the junior photographer for Stax Magazine.

Rachel discovers that she is falling for Mike. Her feelings put her in the face of danger when she gets stuck while abseiling. Fly goes off to her first competition on the pro tour.

Eric scores big money after being offered the chance to be on the front cover of Stax Magazine. Eric uses the money to buy himself a new surfboard. But he loses the board while testing it out, and he is unsure how he is going to repay the shop. To make matters worse, he is now broke and he is unsure how to tell Amy that he likes her.

Eric and Amy's relationship is on the rocks. Amy feels Eric is taking her for granted and suggests their relationship should be more casual. There is a special ball coming up on the weekend and Simmo reveals a magazine will be sending a photographer to do a fashion shoot with the Solar Blue team before the event.

Amy gets a big surprise when her wealthy parents, Ray and Linda, arrive from the Gold Coast for a surprise visit. Eric lets it slip to Amy that his birthday is coming up on Saturday. Amy, being a party girl, does not intend to let this go by and organises a surprise birthday lunch. On the morning of the surprise party Ray and Linda have a surprise for Eric and whisk him and Amy away on a seaplane flight. Unfortunately the plane has mechanical problems and the group are delayed in their return.

It's only eight weeks until the final surf off and Rachel's peaking. She's totally focused and surfing up a storm. Just when everything seems perfect, Rachel's brother Jay arrives with some bad news. The family business is struggling and they need her help. In a shocking decision, Rachel decides to quit Solar Blue.

Brooke is concerned that, after the decision is made who wins, the team won't keep in contact with eachother. Fly tries to reassure the whole team, and Simmo has made the perfect plan. Fly is surprised by the arrival of Perri, but she is sad over her break-up with Matt. So Fly brings Matt back to Solar Blue and tries to figure out why they broke up.

The final Surf-Off day is here, and many problems arise. Corey's surfing is failing, and Eric's hand injury is pulling him back. The whole team are doing well, but which two will come out as the winners and head off with Fly and Deb to Brazil to compete in their first surf competition?
