Otto, Reggie, Twister, and Sam are back for another season of extreme sports and radical adventures in Rocket Power season 3. In the premiere episode, "New Squid on the Block/Down The Drain," the gang faces some new challenges while they continue to hone their skills on the waves and ramps of Ocean Shores.
In "New Squid on the Block," the Rocket Power crew meets a new kid in town, a "grom" (young surfer) named Eddie. Eddie is friendly and eager to join the gang, but Otto and his friends are wary of accepting him. They're used to being the top dogs of the surf scene in Ocean Shores, and they don't want to let some new kid waltz in and steal their thunder.
However, as they get to know Eddie, they start to realize that he's not just any new kid. He's a skilled surfer with some tricks up his sleeve that even Otto hasn't seen before. Despite some initial jealousy and competition, the Rocket Power crew decides to give Eddie a chance, and they all head out to catch some waves together.
Meanwhile, in "Down The Drain," Twister's dad Raymundo is having some trouble with the plumbing in his surf shop. Twister and Sam offer to help him fix the problem, but they quickly realize that it's a much bigger job than they anticipated. As they try to sort out the tangle of pipes and valves, they encounter all sorts of obstacles and mishaps.
The two storylines intersect when Eddie offers to help Twister and Sam with their plumbing troubles. Eddie's skills as a handyman turn out to be just as impressive as his surfing skills, and he impresses the Rocket Power crew once again. As they all work together to fix Raymundo's shop, they learn more about each other and become better friends.
