On New Ears day, Bondi is more overcrowded then ever. First it's mainly revelers who come cool down, party on or sleep off booze on the beach. Dozing off in the rising sun is dangerous, so the boys must check up and have some removed into the shade. Even helped by volunteer auxiliary and surfers, the Bondi boys are utterly overstretched with so many swimmers in trouble. They fear for mass drowning when a record number of Dutch turn u for the new Year dive, but those orange cap bearers all return safely. In the end, Hoppo tries to clear the beach after shift by shark alarm, but it fails in the south side, so the men must stay longer. Trent 'Singlets' and his tower team partner Mario make up only afterward, Mario having made a scene after being rebuked for failing to give Jesse proper location instructions during jet-ski rescues.
