Unlike continental Australia, Bondi starts the wettest summer in half a century, but with the sun crowds poor in. The jet-ski saves up to 40 people a day, sometimes so many that some drop off, like Chinese student Kyle, who thus looses his trunks and gets in too much saline water. On Christmas, Harries is jet-Santa and streakers entertain, but alcohol means extra faintings on top of drownings and strays. Just then, an overheated jet-ski breaks down, so Hoppo closes part of the beach.
