Growing up in the fictional town of Ocean Shores, California, Otto Rocket and his group of friends love nothing more than hitting the waves on their boards, riding their bikes, and generally finding new and exciting ways to have fun in the sun. Their fearless leader, Otto, is always up for a new challenge, and is constantly pushing the limits of what is possible with his skating skills. In season 2 episode 16 entitled "Channel Surfing / Outta My Pit," the group is gearing up for another day of adventures when they stumble upon some unexpected obstacles.
In "Channel Surfing," the kids find a new way to experience the thrill of surfing by commandeering a channel made for luxury boats. Though the forbidden area is off-limits to surfers, the Rocket gang is determined to make their way through the area. After being chased out by lifeguards, the group spots Tito, who owns a nearby bait and tackle shop. He instructs them that they should try to catch a “Minty Baracuda” fish instead of breaking the rules. In the end, they successfully catch the elusive fish and realize that obeying the rules can sometimes lead to even greater adventures.
In "Outta My Pit," the group of friends must come together to help a local skateboarder named Pi, who accidentally falls into a deep construction pit. Despite their best efforts to pull him out, Pi remains trapped, leaving the gang to come up with a creative solution.

Eventually, they are able to pull Pi to safety, proving that even in the face of immense danger, teamwork and creativity can triumph.
Throughout both episodes, the Rocket gang demonstrates their unwavering loyalty to each other, their love of adventure, and their ability to tackle any problem that comes their way.
