Season 1:
Masaki is a middle school student in Oarai. When he takes his pet corgi for an early morning walk on the beach, he sees Sho surfing. He's so enthralled by the sight of Sho that when he's asked if he wants surf, he immediately agrees to start. That's the moment when surfing becomes his life.
Since the moment he took it up, Masaki's life has become all about surfing. Sleeping or waking, it's all he thinks about, and he goes out to the beach to ride the waves rain or shine. One day, with a typhoon approaching, Masaki ignores Sho's attempt to stop him.
It's almost time for the curtain to rise on Masaki's first competition - the Forest Cup in Oarai.

The final round of the Forest Cup in Oarai comes down to Sho and Tanaka. Each of them challenge the waves with everything they've got, showing amazing runs, but there can only be one winner, and the winner is... Masaki is proud of both of them, and at the same time, he decides to work even harder to aim even higher. He and the others make a promise - to aim for the world stage together as friendly rivals...

One night, under a full moon, Masaki laments alone on the Oarai shore. Tanaka quietly approaches. Moonlight. The sound of waves. And then, Masaki...
