* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: In "Loss of Squid", Sam meets Oliver for the first time and is happy to have a friend who shares his interest in science and computers. However, Sam later gets bored of him because Oliver doesn't like sports or games, has no sense of humor, is afraid of any physical activity, and doesn't want to do anything else except study.

* InsultBackfire: Squid was used to identify the new kid on the block and originally belonged to Twister, who hated it. When Sam arrived they gave him the squid nickname and he was generally pleased to have a nickname at all.
** Mostly a nickname that wasn't "Dink".
** Given that squids are extremely powerful and efficient predators, (to the point of some taking on [[ThreateningShark sharks]]) it's somewhat bizarre that this is even used as an insult in the first place.

!! Sam "The Squid" Dullard
The fourth member of the main crew. While not as athletically gifted as the other three, he has found a niche as the brains and conscience of the group and is also a "rock-solid" goalie when they play hockey.

!!Reggie Rocket
Otto's older sister by two years. While no less competitive and skilled as an athlete, Reggie is also of calmer disposition and great maturity. She is also an aspiring publisher and most noted for her "Zine".

--> Voiced by Shayna Fox

* AlliterativeName
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Like her brother, it's hard to tell whether she's either Hawaiian/Polynesian or white since Raymundo looks white with a shade of tan.
* BerserkButton: Reggie does not like being called Regina, not even by Raymundo.
** She goes ballistic when Trent suggests that she should "definitely come watch" him and the guys play rugby.
* CallingTheOldManOut: In "Race Across New Zealand", Ray spends most of the movie [[ParentalFavoritism blatantly favoring Otto over Reggie]] due to an incident where the father of another competitor beat him in the same competition when he was Otto's age. Reggie finally gets fed up with this line of thinking and ''rips her dad apart'', claiming that he doesn't care about her at all and just cares that Otto looks good. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Since she and Raymundo normally have a good relationship and Ray treats both kids fairly, this is pretty sobering.]]

* BrokenPedestal: Otto experiences this with his favorite skateboarding movie star, Donny Lightning, who is a HUGE Jerkass, has all his stunts done by a (female) stunt double, doesn't even know how to skateboard, and rudely rejects Otto's request for an autograph.

* ObnoxiousSnarker

to:

* ObnoxiousSnarkerObnoxiousSnarker: Not as much as Lars, but he does have the tendency to treat his friends like this at times.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Most times, when someone unintentionally shows up Otto or proves themselves to better at something that he is, his ego will deny it outright before grudgingly accepting it; this makes it all the more unusual in "Powergirl Surfers" when he's paired up against Trish in an impromptu surfing challenge and doesn't even hesitate to say (in a squeaky voice) that she's really good.
**Otto's also never been one to back down from a challenge, but in "Bruised Man's Curve", when the day to challenge Lars on the titular mountain board course arrives, Otto's confidence is shaken so much that he outright remarks that he can't do it. Reggie couldn't believe her ears at that comment.



* SmallNameBigEgo

to:

* SmallNameBigEgoSmallNameBigEgo: He definitely has the biggest ego of them all.
* TooDumbToLive: Otto falls towards this an awful lot.
**In the episode "Big Thursday", he tried to surf with The Rhino in a turbulent storm and nearly drowns in the ocean, which would've happened had Raymundo not come around and rescue him.
**In the episode "Big Dare Air", he and Reggie race each other in a big jump that was for adults only. While Reggie squelches herself from taking the jump, Otto pays for his mistake and breaks his leg.
**In the episode "Back Bowl", Otto and Twister sneak into a back bowl that is said to be off limits and get lost. They nearly freeze to death until Raymundo and Tito rescue them.
**In the episode "Hurricane Maurice", Otto and Twister get caught in the hurricane trying to retrieve the video camera Twister left at the pier a day prior and are almost crushed by the board in the wave until they are saved by Lt. Tice Ryan.
