With summer approaching, the Solar Blue kids find out what it's really like to share the waves. When Cassie (Rebecca Breeds) gets hit on the arm by a young local's wayward surfboard, it seems a surf war is about to break out.

Adam (Eka Darville) tries to reason with the offending surfers, but his overtures are quickly rejected and he suddenly finds himself the victim of some blatant racism. Things get even worse the next day at school when he finds an unflattering drawing with an offensive caption stuck on his locker.

Down at the beach, the mayhem on the waves is compounded by another group of locals - this time it's the older Malibu riders, and one surfs straight over Adam's board, breaking it in two. It seems the Solar Blue team is being attacked from all sides and Bec (Kate Bell) has to step in to try and bring some sense to the situation before it really gets out of control.

Meanwhile at school, racist abuse continues to be directed at Adam. Realising he needs to take action, Adam surreptitiously gathers some incriminating evidence and confronts the perpetrators. He gives them an ultimatum: they can either formally apologise and go surf another beach or the evidence will be presented to the principal and the police. Will the boys back off?
