Bondi Rescue

- Season 8

(2013)

Hoppo expects the new season may be even busier then the seven ones before. Reidy, Whippet, former victim Hayden, other locals and the security cameras are key to catch a new bag thieves, soon turned over to the police despite resistance. The boys have kept fit during their winter holiday to pass the annual test. For Nestor Harry 'H' Nightingale (53), who went to Java, the challenge is the rule he must finish no later then 5 minutes after the winner, in this case Deano, but he makes it with lots of encouragement, one boy even stays back with him. The noise of Bondi's ...

Bondi faces its wettest, coldest Christmas in decades. Santa Yates surfs, skateboards and break-dances, only a day earlier, before the crowd flees. Playful recruit Taco (18) still pays his dues and is trained, with Maxi as mentor. Reidy and swimming champion Spot Anderson are mistakenly believed in need of rescue.

2013 takes a lively, busy start with lots of drunk revelers, some of whom even steal shortly Harries's buggy. After a shark attack nearby, sightings must be taken seriously. Ultimately Hoppo must decides to sound the alarm and leaves that honor to delighted rookie Taco. Meanwhile an ex lifeguard report a child presumably kidnapped.

For two months off season, semi-deserted Bondi is guarded by a skeleton summer crew. Dean leads a delegation including Reidy, Yates and Harries, some of whom were there before, to go work with the poorly-equipped colleagues on Bali, in Indonesia, at Kota beach, great for surfing but the most dangerous beach in the world. Marcello's team also has some quirky methods, like massage. The boys have mixed reactions on the bustling tourist town.

The Bondi six start their second day on Kuta beach, five times as large as Bondi, the Balinese way, which includes a spicy diet, push-ups for latecomers and dance-like calisthenics. Although not yet familiar with the beach, they start rescuing. As they find all equipment inadequate and/or scarce, from communication to boards and medical supplies, Kerrbox gets a long shopping list. Deano likes the Kuta rookie enough to re-dub him Maxi after his own playful Benjamin. Chappo gets squeamish during a visit to the local market, due to the bloodily dismembered animals. ...

A drunk woman goes missing in the water so the boys bring in the chopper to help find her. Also, Terry has the most critical rescue of the season, which brings back some emotional memories for him.
