Joss

When the surf is up, Joss is all in, 100%. She pops out her hearing aid, hops on her board, and paddles into the waves. Joss is stoked to enter a surfing video contest. If she can master an aerial like the frontside air and get her brother Dylan to catch it on video, she might even win! But Dylan throws her a curve: he dares her to try out for the cheer team. No way—Joss can't see herself as a cheerleader. She's 100% surfer girl! 

Still, if she takes him up on his dare, will he help her with her video?
