Synopsis[]
Zane tries to impress his dad by entering in the local film competition, filming his attempt to break his Dad's windsurfing record around Mako Island. He gets into trouble with sharks and unbeknownst to him, is saved by mermaid Rikki.
Plot[]
A short film contest on the subject of heroes captures the focus of the girls' attention, but a film about Emma's mother is not Rikki's idea of fun and she decides to use her abilities to capture some impressive underwater footage of sharks. Ineligible to compete himself as his father is on the judging panel, Zane recruits Lewis McCartney to document a recreation of his father's famous windsurfing trip to Mako Island and gets trapped by sharks on the shore. Luckily, Rikki was also there filming her "masterpiece" and manages to scare the sharks away with her powers. Rikki quits from the contest because she has to explain from where she shot the film. Emma also quits because her mother said she rescued Zane's father from drowning.

Quotes[]
- Lewis: Amazing.
- Harrison: Not exactly the word I'd use. I've been at the juice bar hosing Wilfred down for two hours. He was about to go to the police.
- Zane: It's your windsurfer, not his.
- Lewis: Okay, maybe we should've asked, but this footage is fantastic. It'll make a great film.
- Zane: You can't do that.
- Harrison: I sponsored that competition. You think I want my son on public view looking like...that?
- Zane: There was a 20-foot shark out there, Dad! There were heaps of them!
- Harrison: Did you see anything?
- Lewis: Well, um...
- Harrison: I didn't think so. Zane created this charade because he knew he couldn't really break my record. Now get rid of that.
- Lewis: No, no, no, no, no. I shot this footage; that disc belongs to me! It's mine.
