Ep 9. Grumpy Old Brahs

In Stoked season 2 episode 9, titled "Grumpy Old Brahs," the Bummer crew is faced with a new challenge - hosting a senior group of surfers at the hotel. What seems like an easy task turns out to be more complicated than they initially thought, as the old surfers turn out to be grumpy and demanding.

The episode starts with the group of seniors arriving at the hotel, led by an old acquaintance of the proprietor, Snack Shack. The Bummer crew is excited to host them, thinking that their experience in the surfing world will be interesting and fun. However, they soon realize that the seniors are not as easy-going as they thought they would be.

The seniors are grumpy from the start, complaining about the slightest things such as the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the rooms. The Bummer crew tries their best to accommodate the seniors by going the extra mile, but nothing seems to satisfy them. They also constantly talk about how things were in the past, reminiscing about the "good old days" when surfing was more of a lifestyle than a sport.

To make matters worse, the seniors prove to be incompetent in surfing, which is ironic considering their experience in the sport. They keep falling off their boards and refuse to take advice from the Bummer crew on how to improve their skills. This leads to some hilarious but frustrating moments as the Bummer crew tries to teach them the basics of surfing.

As the day goes by, tensions rise between the seniors and the Bummer crew. The seniors keep finding faults with everything, and the Bummer crew is exhausted from trying to please them. Reef and Broseph try to keep their cool, but even they can't handle the seniors' constant complaints. Johnny, on the other hand, decides to take matters into his own hands and teaches the seniors a lesson.

Johnny challenges the seniors to a surf competition, thinking that winning will make them less grumpy and more appreciative. The seniors accept the challenge, and the competition begins. However, the seniors cheat during the competition, using their experience to intimidate the Bummer crew and win unfairly.

After the competition, the seniors change their tune and become friendlier towards the Bummer crew. They apologize for their behavior and admit that they were jealous of the younger surfers. They tell the Bummer crew that they miss the feeling of being young and carefree, and that they envy the younger generation's spirit.

The episode ends with the seniors leaving the hotel, but not before giving the Bummer crew some valuable advice on how to appreciate their youth and live life to the fullest. The Bummer crew reflects on the seniors' words and realizes that it's important to enjoy life regardless of age and experience. They also promise to become better surfers and make the seniors proud.

Overall, "Grumpy Old Brahs" is a heartwarming episode that reminds us of the importance of appreciating life and enjoying every moment. It also showcases the struggles of young people as they try to deal with old-timers who are stuck in their ways. The episode is full of humor, drama, and heart, making it one of the best episodes of Stoked season 2.
