At the age of 20, Charlie Thompson moved from the calm serenity of Byron Bay to Bondi Beach in Sydney. Though she's a professional diver for Australia, she much prefers getting on a surfboard and riding some waves. As she trains for the upcoming World Championships and Olympic Games, she takes a keen interest in getting back in to lifeguarding like she used to in Byron. After saving a man from drowning while she was surfing at Bondi, she meets the boys in blue and realizes that she wants to use her expertise in the water to help keep the beach she calls home safe.
Lilo Jenkinson. Average girl. Average life. Average everything really. But for her it was about to change. Ever since her surfing accident, Lilo has wanted to save peoples’ lives. Her brother Michael is already one step ahead of her. Bondi beach. One of the busiest beaches here in Australia. Lilo was from Queensland. A nice place but the beaches weren’t very busy at all and her lifeguard training was pretty boring here. Michael had told her they were recruiting soon. Why not try it out? She’s had some training and she is a pretty serious surfer. Even after her accident she kept surfing. Lilo was closer to her brother than anyone else. Her parents split and now she lives with her dad and brother. Every year since Lilo can remember her dad had taken her to Bondi to surf. He was a good teacher. In her teens she went on her own and that’s when her accident happened.
