*They both jump in*

WITH ABBIE, THOMMO, ARI, HONEY, & SPONSOR

SPONSOR: Straight off, we'll set you up with some Blu Gravity threads, new wetsuit. Help you make a serious splash at Nationals.

HONEY: Forget the add-ons, Loopy. Let's talk moolah. How much is he getting paid?

SPONSOR: Good question, Honey. Yeah, there are some great cash incentives for even placing in comps.

THOMMO: So, if Ari had an off day, then he gets nothing?

ARI: Dad, that's the way it is. It's the same for everyone.

ABBIE: And what obligations would Ari have on signing up?

HONEY: I've got this one. "Mr. Gibson has to post three times a month to his grid and twice a week to his stories".

THOMMO: So, Ari gets a wettie and you guys turn him into a walking billboard?

ABBIE: Thommo.

ARI: Sorry.

THOMMO: Reception down here's pretty bad so posting to his 'grids' might be difficult.

*Abbie scoffs*

ABBIE: Sorry. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Love, I think I hear the tomato vines screaming your name.

*Thommo walks away*

SPONSOR: Look, we're pretty flexy on the socials. Have fun, try things out with your mates, you never know what's gonna blow up online.

HONEY: Ari doesn't use social media. He just uses Mums account to lurk.

*Ari takes the pen and paper from Honey*

ARI: Okay...

SPONSOR: Well, perfect time to get on there, right?

HONEY: There you go.

ARI: Thanks.

*Ari signs the papers*

SPONSOR: Welcome to the Blu Gravity family.

*Abbie squeals and everyone smiles*

SPONSOR: Quick photo to mark the occasion?

HONEY: Yeah. Just take these...

*Ari unwraps his new board and takes a picture with it*

BACK WITH JADE, SUMMER, POPPY, BODHI, & WREN

*Were all sitting at our own little vanity's*

MAKEUP ARTIST: Okay, maybe this foundation instead.

POPPY: Sorry, I don't think any of them are gonna match my skin.

BODHI: This one should work.

POPPY: Thanks, Bodes.

*Me and Summer are picking out outfits because we finished our makeup & hair*

SUMMER: Wren, this'd look so good on you.

JADE: Ooh, I agree!

WREN: Oh, thanks. Yeah, it is really cute.

SUMMER: Mm-hmm.

MAN: So I reckon we can scrap that... But this is more the vibe that...

*Poppy smiles and nods at us and we walk over*

JADE: Told you we can play nice.

MAN: Those looks are all totally sick. So, we're set up at the beach. When the girls are ready, just send them down.

SPONSOR: Easy. Okay. We will hustle.

MAN: Cool. See you down there.

SPONSOR: No biggie, just the best surf photographer in the country. He's gonna make you guys look even more incredible!

BODHI: So stoked. And i've collected some editorial looks to go with the mood boards I sent you?

*Bodhi hands her the phone*

SPONSOR: Ah! Okay.

SUMMER: Umm... Beautiful. Yes! Yes! Hard yes from me, Bodes.

BODHI: The braids'll stay in place in the surf and that makes it easier for my hair stylist and better for my hair.

SPONSOR: Look, I love the enthusiasm. I just... I don't think we have time to pull of something so elaborate.

*She hands Bodhi the phone back*

SPONSOR: And, you know, the concept for the campaign is 'Boho Paradiso'. Your current vibe is such a natural fit. Let's just stick to what works and go from there.

??: HQ wants an update.

*The sponsor takes the phone and walks off*

JADE: Wow, Bodes I'm so sorry.

BODHI: Not your fault.

*A lady comes over and starts touching her hair*

LADY: Oh, my God! There's just go much of it!

*I give her a weird look but she's doesn't see me and I look at Summer like 'what the hell?!' and she just shrugs*

LADY: It's wild!

SKIP TO WHEN WERE ALL ON THE BEACH

GUY: Alright! Guys, let's get started. To set the scene, it is the '90s. Byron is still a secret surf spot and you guys are just frothing to get out there, okay?

*Wren and Bodhi look over jealously*

GUY: The camera loved you. That's exactly the vibe we need. Yes!

SUMMER: Glad you like it.

WREN: Do you want me to go in the middle?

GUY: In a bit. We'll just get this shot first and then we'll talk about it later, okay? Awesome, Summer! Awesome. That's great! All eyes to the camera. Just like that yeah!
