It's almost time for the curtain to rise on Masaki's first competition - the Forest Cup in Oarai. Many surfers the same age as Masaki will be in the competition, and they will prove to be worthy, life-long rivals. It's been a year since Masaki first met Sho. A year since he started surfing. In order to prove that this last year of training hasn't been in vain, Masaki is determined to do everything he can with everything he's got. And so, he sets out to challenge the waves...
Like the ocean was 
acknowledging me as a surfer.
وكأنّ المُحيط اعترف بي كراكِب أمواج
Und ich hatte das Gefühl,
dass das Meer mich als Surfer akzeptiert hatte.
Como si el océano
me reconociera como surfista.
C’était comme si la mer m’avait adoubé
en tant que surfeur.
Era come se il mare
mi avesse riconosciuto come surfista.
como se o mar estivesse
me reconhecendo como surfista.
Словно море приняло
меня как сёрфера.
