Marine life navigates the ocean.

[Upbeat music plays]

A singer sings, OVER THE OCEAN
AND OVER THE REEF.
THERE'S A SUNNY LITTLE PLACE
CALLED KANGAROO BEACH.

The sun shines brightly over the Kangaroo Beach Lifeguard Headquarters. Text reads, Screen Australia and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation presents, A Cheeky Little Media production. Created by Tim Bain.

The singer sings, FRIZZY, GEMMA,
NEVILLE AND POUNCE.

Frizzy, a koala with blue fur, balances sunglasses on her head. Gemma, a platypus, wears goggles strapped over her head. Neville, a wombat, wears a bucket hat. Pounce, a kangaroo, hops over his friends and down a slide. All the friends wear a red and blue uniform.

The singer and others sing, CADETS IN THE CLUB,
SO COME ON, LET'S BOUNCE.

Gemma, Frizzy and Neville follow Pounce down the slide.

The singer sings, GOOD FRIENDS SURFIN'
SWIMMIN', LEARNIN’

Pounce surfs down the slide. Gemma slides down on her stomach. Fizzy follows with her paws in the air. Neville spins down the slide.

He screams, AAH!

Outside, on the Kangaroo Beach dock, he blows a whistle and points to the water.

[Whistle blaring]

The singer sings, BONDI, SANDY,
BIG TREV TOO.

Kangaroos Bondi and Sandy speed across the water on a boat with Pounce. Underwater, Frizzy travels in a submarine with Big Trev, a bearded koala with green fur.

The singer sings, TRAININ' WITH THE VERY BEST
LIFEGUARD CREW.
STAYIN' SAFE, BEING BRAVE,
RIDE A WAVE, MAKE A SAVE.

Gemma rides in a helicopter. The lifeguards and junior cadets return to the beach. The cadets surf a big wave.

The singer sings, WE'RE HERE ALL SUMMER,
IT JUST GETS FUNNER.
LET'S HOP DOWN TO...

A large wave crashes into the lifeguards and cadets on the beach.

The singer sings, …KANGAROO BEACH!

Title, Kangaroo Beach. A splash of water reveals the episode title on the beach.

Pounce reads, MASTER OF THE WAVES.

Text reads, written by Charlotte Rose Hamlyn. A wave rolls over the sand, revealing Kangaroo Beach, where Gemma, Neville and Frizzy join Bondi at the shoreline. In the ocean, Pounce wades through the water.

[Frizzy gasping]

Frizzy says, I THINK HE'S REALLY DOING IT.

Gemma says, HERE IT COMES!

Pounce says, ALL RIGHT, WAVES, LET'S SEE
WHO'S THE BOSS OF THIS BEACH.

A wave crashes toward Pounce.

[Splashing]

Pounce dives under the wave.

Neville says, I CAN'T WATCH!

He, Gemma and Frizzy cover their eyes. In the water, Pounce swims under the wave.

Frizzy says, DID HE MAKE IT?

She opens one eye as Pounce comes up from the water on the other side of the wave.

[Pounce gasping]

Pounce smiles. He friends look at him.

Gemma says, HE DID IT!

She, Neville and Frizzy cheer, WHOO-HOO!

Frizzy cheers, WE NEVER DOUBTED YOU!

Neville cheers, WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!

Gemma cheers, YEAH!
GO POUNCE!

Pounce hops out of the water.

Neville says, YOU WERE SO BRAVE!

[Pounce chuckling]

Pounce says, THANKS FOR TEACHING ME,
BONDI.

Bondi says, TRUE ROO.
YOU NAILED THE FIRST PART OF
YOUR LESSON.

Pounce says, THERE'S A SECOND PART?

Bondi says, TAKING ON THOSE WAVES WITH A
RESCUE BOARD.

In the water, Gherkin yells, HELP!

He clings to a board. A wave rolls him over.

He wails, WHOA!
HELP!
HELP!

More waves roll him into the water.

Bondi says, HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

He grabs a rescue board and leaps into the water. On the board, he paddles toward a wave. He rides over a wave, then dives underneath another.

[Bondi grunting]

Gemma says, WHOA!

Bondi paddles over to Gherkinn, floating in the water in his wetsuit.

Gemma says, I WONDER IF IT'S AS HARD AS
IT LOOKS.

Frizzy says, PROBABLY HARDER.
MUCH, MUCH HARDER.

Neville says, I WOULDN'T WANT TO TRY THAT.

Pounce says, JUMPING JOEYS!
I CAN'T DO THAT.

Gemma says, OF COURSE YOU CAN.
YOU JUST MASTERED DIVING!

Bondi and Gherkinn walk out of the water with their boards.

Gherkinn says, DON'T BE WORRYING.
I AM TOTALLY FINE.

Frizzy says, OKAY.
WHAT DAY IS IT?

Gherkinn says, UH...
JANUARY?

Bondi says, TAKE A SEAT, CHAMP.
YOU'RE A BIT DIZZY AFTER
TRYING TO ROLL YOUR BOARD.

He lays Gherkinn’s board on the sand beside the rescue board.

He explains, SOME BOARDS ARE TOO BIG AND
FLOATY TO PUSH UNDER A WAVE.

Gherkinn says, JA, JA.
SO, YOU ARE HAVING TO GO UNDER
THE WAVE BY HOLDING IT
"TIGHTLINESS".
AND WHEN YOU ARE ROLLING WITH
THE WAVE, THEN YOU ROLLING BACK
ONTO THE BOARD.
UNLESS YOU ARE ME, THEN YOU,
YOU JUST KEEP GOING AND GOING.

He lies on his board and rolls across the beach with it.

[Gherkinn grunting]

Gherkinn rolls toward a wombat in a beach chair and a young wombat on the beach.

[Wombats gasping]

The young wombat runs away from Gherkinn.

[Wombat yelping]

Gherkinn rolls into the wombat’s beach umbrella, knocking it down.

Gherkinn says, SORRY!

Bondi says, OR, YOU CAN POP YOUR BOARD
OVER THE WAVE.
I'LL SHOW YOU.

In the water, he paddles toward a crashing wave on the rescue board. He rides over the wave.

He says, POP.

The four junior cadets say, POP!

Bondi says, AND ROLL!

He rolls his board, so he is under water as a wave crashes toward him, then over him. On the other side of the wave, Bondi rolls back up onto the water.

Pounce says, WHOA!

Bondi says, READY TO GIVE IT A GO,
POUNCE?

Pounce says, UH...

Beside Bondi, Gherkin says, YOO-HOO!

He waves to Pounce from his board.

He says, I WILL BE TRYING IT WITH YOU,
POUNCE.

A wave crashes behind him and knocks him off his board.

Gherkinn says, AND TRYING, AND TRYING, AND
TRYING.

More waves knock him off his board. Bondi paddles up beside him and pulls him onto the rescue board. Later, on either side of Bondi, Gherkinn and Pounce paddle toward a wave on their boards.

On the beach, Neville cheers, GO, POUNCE!

Gemma cheers, GO, GHERKINN!

Frizzy cheers, WHOO!

On the water, a wave crashes toward Pounce.

Pounce says, POP.

He tries to ride over the wave, but it knocks him off his board.

Pounce wails, WHOA!

Elsewhere on the water, Gherkinn says, POP GOES THE GHERKINN!

A wave starts to lift Gherkinn.

He says, OH, NO.

The wave carries Gherkinn away.

Gherkinn says, WHERE I AM GOING?!

Pounce comes up from the water.

[Pounce sighing]

Gherkinn comes up from the water. Bondi paddles his board between them.

[Gherkinn sighing]

Pounce frowns.

He says, I CAN'T DO IT.

Bondi says, LET ME SHOW YOU AGAIN.

He paddles to a wave.

The cadets on the beach say, POP!

Bondi rides over the wave.

The cadets on the beach say, ROLL!

Bondi rolls under his rescue board.

[Bondi chuckling]

Bondi gives Pounce a thumbs up.

Pounce says, OKAY, I'VE GOT THIS.

He paddles to a wave. As he tries to pop over the wave, it knocks him back.

Pounce yelps, WHOA!

[Splashing]

Pounce falls backward into the water.

He wails, WHOA!

[Splashing]

Pounce floats away from the waves.

He groans, UGH.
I DON'T GOT THIS.

He looks toward the waves.

He says, HUH?

A wave crashes toward Gherkinn, who rolls underneath his board. The wav crashes over him and he rolls back upright.

Gherkinn cheers, OH, MY GOODNESS!

Gemma cheers, WHOO, GREAT GO!

Neville cheers, GO, GHERKINN!

Gemma cheers, GREAT ROLL!

Frizzy cheers, YEAH!
YOU GOT THIS!

Pounce says, WOW!

He climbs back onto his board as a wave crashes into him and knocks him back off.

Pounce yells, WHOA!

On the beach, Pouce drags his board out of the water.

He says, I'LL NEVER BE A LIFEGUARD.

He drops his board and sits on the sand.

He says, I CAN'T POP OR ROLL.

Bondi kneels beside Pounce.

He says, SURE YOU WILL.

[Pounce sighing]

Pounce says, BUT EVEN GHERKINN'S WORKED
OUT HOW TO DO IT ALREADY.

In the water, Gherkinn rolls under a wave.

Gherkinn says, OH, JA!
BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PRACTISING
SINCE LAST JANUARY!

Bondi says, NO-ONE MASTERS ANY NEW SKILL
THE FIRST TIME, POUNCE.

Gherkinn surfs a tall wave.

He yelps, OH, WHOA!
HO-HO-HO!
SO WUNDERBAR!
JA!

Pounce groans, UGH.
EVERYONE'S GOOD AT EVERYTHING,
EXCEPT ME.

Sandy joins Bondi and Pounce.

[Sandy chuckling]

She says, WELL, THEN YOU'VE CLEARLY
NEVER SEEN BONDI TRYING TO
BREAKDANCE.

The other cadets run over.

Frizzy says, AWESOME!

Gemma says, BONDI BREAKDANCES?

Bondi says, N-NO.
I'M NO GOOD.

Neville says, MAYBE YOU JUST NEED TO
PRACTICE.

Bondi says, NO, NO.
SOME OF US ARE JUST NOT GOOD
AT...

Sandy says, AH-HEM.

She glances toward Pounce.

[Bondi groaning]

Bondi says, YES.
I JUST NEED TO PRACTICE.

Frizzy says, WHY DON'T WE MAKE TODAY
DO SOMETHING NEW FOR YOU DAY?
IT'S WHERE WE ALL HAVE TO TRY
SOMETHING WE'RE NOT GOOD AT YET!
I'LL TEACH BONDI TO BREAKDANCE.

The others cheer, WHOO!

Neville cheers, YEAH, GREAT IDEA!

Pounce cheers, GREAT IDEA!

Gemma cheers, THIS IS A GREAT!

Bondi says, UH, YEAH.
CAN'T WAIT.

At the Kangaroo Beach lifeguard headquarters, Sandy hops over to a bare cake on the dining table where the junior cadets are seated.

She says, OH, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY
CAKE DECORATING!

She squeezes a piping bag full of icing with the tip pointed at the cake.

Sandy says, COME ON.

No icing comes out of the piping bag.

Sandy groans, COME ON.

Icing squeezes the bag, and icing squirts out the other end, covering her face in icing.

Sandy yelps, EUGH!
AAH!

[Cadets giggling]

Neville says, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DECORATED
YOURSELF, SANDY.

Sandy says, AND HOW DO I LOOK?

Frizzy tries the icing on Sandy’s face.

She says, MMM!
DELICIOUS!

Outside, Ferdinand says, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE NEVER
TRIED SURFING BEFORE.
THIS DOESN'T SEEM SO HARD!

On the beach, he balances on a surfboard with his wings spread. Neville stands beside him.

Neville says, YOU'RE NOT REALLY SURFING
UNTIL YOU DO IT IN THE OCEAN.

Ferdinand says, SOUNDS AS EASY AS MAKING A
CUP OF TEA!
JUST ADD WATER.

[Ferdinand laughing]

On the water, Ferdinand surfs a wave.

[Ferdinand yelping]

Ferdinand stumbles. The wave knocks him off his board.

He yelps, WHOA!

[Splashing]

Ferdinand comes up out of the water.

[Ferdinand coughing]

Gherkinn surfs past Ferdinand, doing a handstand on his board.

Gherkinn says, KEEP ON WITH THE TRYING,
FERDINAND!

In the lower floor of the lifeguard headquarters, Frizzy taps her foot.

She says, AND A-FIVE, SIX, SEVEN,
EIGHT.

[Hip hop music plays]

Frizzy breakdances.

She says, OH, YEAH.

Bondi tires to copy Frizzy’s moves, stepping one foot over the other. He trips over his feet.

He says, WHOA.

He stumbles toward the rescue board stands.

Bondi yelps, He says, WHOA!

[Crashing]

Boards and beach toys fall toward Frizzy.

Frizzy says, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT BY
BREAKDANCING.

Bondi is tangled in life vest storage rungs.

[Bondi chuckling]

Bondi groans, UGH.

Outside on a sand hill, Gherkinn and Big Trev stand on boards.

[Big Trev chuckling]

Big Trev says, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY
SAND SURFING!

He tilts his board down the hill.

He yelps, WHOA!
WHOA!

Big Trev slides faster and faster as he surfs down the hill.

He wails, GREAT GUMNUTS!

He falls off the board and slides the rest of the way down the hill on his stomach.

He groans, OH!

[Big Trev grunting]

Big Trev’s board hits him as he reaches the bottom.

He says, OW.

Gherkinn cheers, WHOO!
HOO-HOO!

He expertly surfs down the sand on his board.

He asks, ARE YOU OKAY, HUGE TREV?

Big Trev jumps to his feet.

[Big Trev chuckling]

Big Trev says, LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!

At the lifeguard headquarters, Sandy works on icing a cake.

She says, TA-DA!
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Pounce and Neville stare at the cake.

[Frizzy squealing]

Frizzy says, I LOVE IT!
I'VE NEVER SEEN A DOG LOOK SO
FUNNY!

Sandy says, OH.
ACTUALLY, IT WAS MEANT TO BE
BONDI.

The Bondi cake wears a hat.

Frizzy says, OH...
YEAH, I CAN, I CAN SEE BONDI.

[Neville and Pounce laughing nervously]

Neville says, OF COURSE IT IS.

Pounce says, LOOKS JUST LIKE HIM.

Outside, Gherkinn juggles slices of watermelon.

[Gherkinn grunting]

Pounce watches Gherkinn juggle.

He says, HEY, GHERKINN, HOW DID YOU
GET TO BE SO GOOD AT EVERYTHING?

Gherkinn says, I AM NOT GOOD AT EVERYTHING.

He juggles while balancing on a surfboard balanced on a beach ball.

[Gherkinn laughing]

Gherkinn says, WHOA!

He slips off the surfboard onto the sandy beach.

Gherkinn says, WHOO!
WHO-HOO-HOO!

He catches two slices of watermelon.

He says, BUT I AM GOOD AT TRYING
EVERYTHING.

He gives Pounce one of the watermelon slices.

Pounce says, OH, THANKS!

The third slice of watermelon lands on Gherkinn’s head and he drops the first.

Gherkinn grunts, OOF!

[Pounce laughing]

[Gherkinn chuckling]

Gherkinn says, EVEN IF IT IS MAKING ME LOOK
SILLY.

[Big Trev chuckling]

On the sand hill nearby, Big Trev tumbles down the hill alongside Sid and the young wombat. They all fall off their boards.

Big Trev says, OW!

Pounce says, BUT LIFEGUARDING IS SERIOUS.
I DON'T WANT TO LOOK SILLY.

[Pounce sighing]

Pounce says, IF I CAN'T MASTER THE WAVES,
MAYBE I'LL NEVER BE A LIFEGUARD.

Gherkinn says, LOOKING THE SILLY DOESN'T
MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOOD AT
SOMETHING.
IT MEANS YOU'RE NOT GOOD AT IT
YET.

Pounce smiles.

[Frizzy giggling]

Pounce looks out at the ocean, where Neville and Frizzy surf a wave that starts to curl.

Frizzy yells, OH!

Neville wails, WHOA!

The wave crashes, knocking Frizzy and Neville off their boards.

[Frizzy and Neville laughing]

Gemma surfs a wave.

She says, WHOA!

The wave crashes over her. She comes up from the water beside her board.

[Gemma giggling]

Gemma says, WHOA!

She climbs back onto her board and waves toward Pounce.

She says, HEY, POUNCE, COME JOIN US!

Sandy hops across the beach with a mixing bowl.

She says, GO ON, POUNCE!

Sandy quietly says, WHISKING THE EGGWHITES...

She says, to Pounce, I'LL BE HERE IF YOU NEED ME.

She quietly says, AND STIR OUT THE LUMPS.

Pounce grabs his board and runs into the ocean, where another wave crashes over Frizzy.

Frizzy yells, WHOA!

Pounce paddles up to her. l

He says, BUT YOU LOOK SO SILLY!

Frizzy says, CORRECTION, WE LOOK SILLY.

A wave crashes into Pounce.

He wails, WHOA!

He comes up from the water near his friends.

[Cadets laughing]

[Pounce chuckling]

Frizzy says, BUT I THINK WE'RE GETTING
BETTER.
LET'S POP AND ROLL!

Neville and Pounce paddle into a crashing wave that knocks them off their boards.

They yell, WHOA!

[Neville and Pounce laughing]

Frizzy and Neville surf under a curving wave.

Neville yelps, WHOA!

The wave crashes.

[Neville and Frizzy giggling]

Pounce paddles toward another crashing wave. He pops up and rides over it.

He cheers, I DID IT!
I MADE IT POP!

[Cheering]

Gemma cheers, LET’S GO POUNCE!

Frizzy cheers, WHOO-HOO!

Neville cheers, YOU DID IT POUNCE!

Behind the cadets, Ferdinand surfs a wave.

He wails, WHOA!
WHOA!

He stumbles off his board as the waves crashes.

[Splashing]

Ferdinand’s surfboard flips away from hip.

Ferdinand says, OH, NO!
FORGOT MY LEG ROPE!
ROOKIE MISTAKE.

A wave lifts him, then starts to curl over him.

He yells, HELP!
HELP!

Pounce shouts, HEY, SANDY!
FERDINAND'S IN TROUBLE!

Sandy says, ON IT, LIKE A SEAGULL ON A
CHIP!
BACK IN A JIFFY.

She passes her mixing bowl to Sammy, standing beside her, then hops away. Sammy picks up the mixing spoon and she returns.

Sandy says, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

On the water, Pounce says, CADETS TO THE RESCUE!

[Alarm blaring]

[Upbeat music plays]

In a montage, the Kangaroo Beach lifeguards prepare for rescue with radios, first aid kits, and rescue boards. The travel in their rescue vehicles, a helicopter, boat, submarine and golf cart. The junior cadets gather, ready for action, and pose.

[Panting]

Pounce paddles toward a crashing wave, then rolls under it. The wave crashes into Gemma.

She yells, WHOA!

A wave rises toward Neville and Frizzy.

They yell, WHOA!

The waves knocks them off their boards. On the other side of the wave, Pounce paddles toward Ferdinand, floating in the water.

[Ferdinand grunting]

Another wave starts to lift Ferdinand.

He says, THE WAVES ARE TOO BIG!

Pounce says, YOU'RE OKAY, FERDINAND.
WHEN THE NEXT ONE COMES, DIVE
UNDER IT.

Ferdinand ducks under another wave. Pounce pops over it. Ferdinand comes up out of the water beside Pounce.

He grunts, OH!

Pounce says, HOLD ON TO MY BOARD.

Ferdinand grabs onto Pounce’s rescue board.

He says, OH, I'M SORRY.
I'M TERRIBLE AT SURFING.

Pounce says, NO, YOU'RE JUST NOT GOOD AT
IT YET.

In the rescue boat, Sandy cruises up to Pounce and Ferdinand. She pulls Ferdinand on board.

[Sandy grunting]

Sandy says, NICE ONE, POUNCE.

[Sammy giggling]

Sandy’s eyes widen. On the beach, Sammy looks at the mixing spoon.

He says, YUMMY!

With a megaphone, Sandy says, I SEE YOU, SAMMY!

Sammy says, I SEE YOU, SAMMY!

[Sammy giggling]

In the lifeguard headquarters, Bondi, the junior cadets and Ferdinand stand near the balcony.

Bondi says, A LITTLE BIRDIE TELLS ME
POUNCE LEARNT HOW TO POP HIS
BOARD TODAY.

Ferdinand says, HEY, I'M NOT THAT LITTLE!

[Ferdinand chuckling]

Bondi says, FOR LEARNING THIS NEW SKILL
AND USING IT TO HELP RESCUE A
FRIEND, YOU'VE EARNED YOURSELF
THE WAVE MASTER MEDALLION!

He gives Pounce a medal.

Pounce says, TRUE ROO.

Bondi says, TRUE ROO.
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A GREAT
LIFEGUARD ONE DAY, POUNCE.

Pounce says, THANKS, BONDI.

Sandy hops over to the group with a cake.

She says, AH, FORGET THE MEDALLION.
CHECK OUT THIS BAD BOY!

She reveals a cake that looks like Pounce with a melted face.

Pounce screams, AAGH!

Sandy says, OH, YOU'RE WELCOME.

Frizzy says, AND YOU'RE ALL WELCOME FOR
THIS!
BONDI, HIT IT!

She plays music on a stereo.

[Hip hop music plays]

Neville cheers, GO, BONDI!

Pounce cheers, OH, YES, BONDI, YES!

Gemma cheers, WHOO-HOO!

Sandy cheers, YEAH BONDI!

Bondi tires to breakdance. He stumbles.

Sandy says, OH, HE'S AWFUL.

Frizzy cheers, DO THE BONDI!

Bondi brings his heels together and twirls.

He says, WHAT’D YOU THINK?

[Bondi grunting]

[Cheering]
