It’s summertime in Shorehaven, and the competition is heating up — in more ways than one. Brooklyn teen Summer heads to Australia once more, but instead of rekindling her romance with super-surfer Ari, she’s devastated to find out he’s dating the equally talented Wren — who already has a problem with Summer. The rivalries are heating up and so are the flings, especially now that Summer’s got a new crush. Will she make it to nationals without a major heartbreak? 

Surviving Summer Season 2, from creators Joanna Werner and Josh Mapleston, follows a rebellious New Yorker trying to make a name for herself in Australia’s surf scene.
