6	''Blue Water High'' is an Australian show targeted to teens that ran for three seasons from 2005 - 2008. Each seasons followed a different group of Australian surfers who had been chosen to take place in a year long training course at the Solar Blue Academy, at the end of the year there would be a final surf off and the best male and female would win a ticket on to the pro circuit. Season one brought us Rebecca "Bec" Sanderson, Dean "Edge" Edgely, Perri Lawe, Matthew "Matt" Leyland, Fiona "Fly" Watson, Heath Carroll and Anna Petersen. Craig "Simmo" Simmonds was head coach while Deborah "Deb" Callum took care of the management and [[NoLastNameGiven Jilly]] ran the household and [[TeamMom looked after the surfers]]. Season one quickly became a big hit with various related competitions were held and even live interviews which fans could watch online.
7
8	Season two had Deb moved back to management buildings while Fly decided to be a coach at the academy. The new surfers were Eric Tanner, Amy Reed, Mike Kruze, Brooke Solomon, Corey Petrie and Rachel Samuels. The second season wasn't as well received as the first, with the main problem being overly dramatic. It was still popular.
9
10	Season three came after almost two year of waiting and brought with it [[{{Retool}} a lot of changes.]] Solar Blue had been purchased by a company that didn't really want to keep funding it, giving an in-universe version of ExecutiveMeddling. Simmo had been fired, Jilly had left and Bec had been given the job of head coach. Garry Miller was soon chosen as trainer. The students this year were Guy Spender, Charley Prince, Adam Bridge, Bridget Sanchez, Loren Power and Cassie Cometti.

12	Blue Water High is notable for being one of only two Australian teen shows to receive three seasons for the decade 2000-2009, the other being ''Series/H2OJustAddWater''.

14	----
15	!!This series provides examples of:
16	* AnAesop: Generally one at the end of each episode but no particularly [[{{Pun}} egregious]] examples.
17	* AttractivenessIsolation: In one episode, Matt is afraid to ask Perri to the dance, because she's the pretty glamour queen and he assumes she has already been invited by many boys. His friends also tease him because he has no chance with her. It turns out at the end that no one asked her to the dance for the same reason.
18	* BackForTheFinale: Simmo in season three, Deb in season two.
19	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Fly
20	* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:This is what has happened to Edge on the pro circuit before his cameo appearance in season 2]]
21	%%* CloudCuckooLander: Eric and Guy.
22	* ComicallySmallBribe: Anna once suggested Simmo keep Deb occupied by offering her vouchers to a PG-rated movie.
23	* CoolBigSis: Fly played this role in season two, Bec switched between this and TeamMom depending on the situation in season three.
24	* ADayInTheLimelight: Fly gets two in season 2.
25	* TheDeterminator: Once Anna puts her mind to something she will not stop.
26	* DisappearedDad: Eric's father ran away when he was young.
27	* FakeGuestStar: Jilly appeared in more episodes than anyone but Simmo, Fly and Bec.
28	* FanService: It is a show about surfers after all.
29	* HiddenHeartOfGold: Justified with Edge because his parents were almost always on the pro circuit when he was growing, so he's gotten used to doing everything on his own and can't let anyone see the softer side.
30	* ICallItVera: Matt's board Angelina.
31	* LimitedSocialCircle: Apparently averted but as we see none of them hanging out with anyone but each other this is an InformedAttribute.
32	%%* MotorMouth: Eric.
33	* NiceGal: Fly. The first time we see her she wishes her opponent "some good waves and good luck" with a heartwarming smile. Her opponent's response? She tells her to stay out of her face and damages her surfboard. Fly isn't even angry at her, just shocked.
34	* OhCrap: Given whenever one of the surfers plan is found out by Simmo.
35	* OneCrazyNight: In "Dreams and Dramas", the group attempt to keep Fly out of the house while they organise her surprise party. This results in Fly and Heath getting stranded miles from home, being caught in the rain, taking shelter in a caravan, the owner of the caravan towing it away, and them accidentally setting fire to the van while they attempt to signal the driver. Meanwhile, the others are holding a party without the guest of honour, which turns into a WildTeenParty when gatecrashers arrive.
36	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Simmo, Bec, Edge and Fly.
37	%%* OvenLogic: Edge applies this in an early episode of season one.
38	* ShipTease: There is no indication of a relationship between Deb and Simmo for all of season one, except for the episode where they go to the kids prom equivalent together, in the same car.
39	* ShirtlessScene: The male surfers spend a lot of screen time with their shirts off. Justified, as they are surfers.
40	%%* SiblingRivalry: Bridget and her brothers.
41	* SpoiledSweet: Perri loves to spend her father's money on expensive clothes, she is pretty and can be a bit shallow but she's also cheerful, nice and a loyal friend.
42	* SternTeacher: While Simmo is more laid back concerning the behaviour of the kids, Deb can be quite intimidating. YMMV of course.
43	* TalentDouble: While the actors were given some surf lessons, most of the surfing was done by stunt doubles.
44	%%* TeamDad: Simmo
45	%%* TeamMom: Jilly in seasons one and two, Bec switches between this and CoolBigSis depending on the situation in season three.
46	* TokenMinority: Seasons 2 and 3 feature one of these amongst the main kids. The German national probably also counts for Season 1. In the last season it is EkaDarville before he became [[Series/PowerRangersRPM the Red RPM Ranger]].
47	* TrueCompanions: Due to being stuck in a house together with almost no spare time all three groups eventually become this during their stay, unfortunately once they are back in the real world this stops being the case.
48	* TwoTeacherSchool: Well, one teacher and one principal.
49	* WalkingSwimsuitScene: The show is set in a surf school.
50	* WildTeenParty: A fairly mild example happens in first season. Possibly unique in that the kids decide to come clean about it themselves rather than trying to cover it up.
