), Adam (Eka Darville
), Bridget (Cariba Heine
), Loren (Amy Beckwith) and Cassie (Rebecca Breeds). Series Three began screening on Rollercoaster on 3 April 2008.
The winners are Bridget and Adam, but Bridget decides to go to university instead of joining the Pro Circuit, so Loren gets the wild card after Cassie literally 'draws the short straw' (as they both have the same number of points in the final surf-off so they decide who gets the wild card this way). In the last episode, Simmo makes a surprise return as one of the three judges in what is described as 'one of the best finals Solar Blue has seen', saving the day as he pulls 'not a rabbit out of a hat, but an elephant', ensuring that the winners of the final surf-off still get a wild card invitation.
