Blue Water High Season 1 Episode 4 Fly Takes a Dive

It's time for the surfers to face their fears in "Fly Takes a Dive," season one, episode four of the teen drama "Blue Water High." The episode focuses on Fly, one of the contestants on the show, who is scared to take on a dangerous wave at a local beach commonly known as "The Cutter." Fly is worried that if he falls on the wave, he will be badly injured or worse. Shane, the head coach of the academy, sees that Fly's fear is holding him back and decides to take Fly on as his personal project, determined to get the talented surfer to overcome his fears.

The episode begins with Fly watching some of the other surfers take on The Cutter. Concerned for his own safety, Fly tells everyone he has a stomachache and decides not to go out. Shane knows that Fly has more potential and talent than he is currently showing, so he decides to take Fly under his wing and help him overcome his fears. Shane has the surfers practice using a big, inflated ball to simulate a big wave wipeout. Fly's first run doesn't go well, but he slowly gets comfortable with falling in the water and learns how to handle the ball.

Shane sees that Fly is getting too comfortable with the ball, so he decides to get him into the pool and have him practice holding his breath underwater, getting him ready for the real wave. The natural, open-air training helps Fly feel more confident and powered, and he begins to train even harder, determined to overcome his fears and surf The Cutter.

As the day of the big challenge approaches, Fly's nerves start to get the best of him again. He panics and wants to quit, but Shane knows that it's just fly's fear holding him back. Shane persuades Fly to give it a shot, and, with self-assurance behind him, Fly manages to catch a few waves, but his nerves overwhelm him once more and he tumbles early.

Though Fly is upset with himself, Shane tells him that falling is a part of the sport, and that everyone falls when learning how to surf. Shane brings Fly back to the pool to practice some more, and it is here that he finally gets it together. He's able to take on bigger and bigger waves, and even when he falls, he shows great confidence and a greater willingness to try again. He's able to stay focused, to conquer his fear and ride The Cutter, showing everyone that he's more capable than he thought he was.

Overall, "Fly Takes a Dive" is a powerful and inspiring episode about overcoming fear, and about how having the right support system can make a huge difference in your life. It's a great episode that anyone can enjoy, whether they're a surfer themselves or not.
