Natural Romeo and, unexpectedly, his trainee Xavier do so well at the surf festival that despite novice 'nipper' VJ ending last, Summer Bay beats Mangrove River for the first time in six years. For Casey's sake, Ruby even switched side, but is knocked over (accidentally?) by Miranda, who also tells Xavier coldly she's now with Oscar. That leads to a brawl anyhow, while the stress of bickering with Palmer caused River Boys coach Garry to get a cardiac crisis.
