Clip description
Brett (Zachary Garred) makes Hannah (Lynn Styles) enter the surfing competition to maintain the story they told his mother Jackie (Kirsty Hillhouse). Hannah can barely swim and almost drowns in the shallows. She is utterly furious with him.
Curator’s notes
This is a comic scene playing on national stereotypes of the bronze fit surfer Aussies and the pale, non-surfing, non-swimming and terrified Irish girl who finds herself totally out of her depth (literally as well as figuratively) in a surfing competition in which she can only fail.
