There is some violence in this movie including: Repeated exposure also increases the risks that children will become desensitised to the use of violence in real life or develop an exaggerated view about the prevalence and likelihood of violence in their own world. Repeated exposure to violent content can reinforce the message that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution. Research shows that children are at risk of learning that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution when violence is glamourised, performed by an attractive hero, successful, has few real life consequences, is set in a comic context and / or is mostly perpetrated by male characters with female victims, or by one race against another. During their time together, Cody learns that winning is less important than personal integrity and Geek learns to face his greatest fears. Geek takes on a fatherly, mentoring role towards Cody and helps the young surfer prepare for the ‘Big Z Memorial Surfing Competition’. Lani rescues him and takes him to be nursed back to health by a reclusive aged penguin named ‘Geek’ (Jeff Bridges). During one practice session, Cody is badly injured after stepping on a poisonous sea urchin. While on the surf circuit, Cody meets several new friends, such as fellow-surfer Chicken Joe (Jon Heder) from Wisconsin and Lani the lifesaver (Zooey Deschanel), who is the niece of legendary penguin surfer ‘Big Z’. Cody then leaves home to compete in several surfing competitions. Despite receiving little encouragement from family or friends, Cody continues to train until one day he is discovered by a talent scout.
