## Synopsis

The episode starts with Brody relaxing on the water on his surfboard when T and Shelley speed by on their turbo boards. They speed by Salty Seawalrus when Brody speeds past them and beats them to the beach. Brody says that Bea powered up his board making him hard to beat. The turtles challenge him to 1 more race to try to beat them. Meanwhile, another barge piloted by a squirrel is heading right for Salty, but the squirrel launches a beach ball between them to keep them from crashing. However, the squirrel is heading for a rock and Brody. He misses them both, and Brody tries to rescue him. The squirrel's heading for another rock, but rather than steer around it, he just tries to think of another stopper. Brody takes the wheel and steers it around the rock and onto the beach. The turtles and squirrel are amazed by Brody's rescue. The squirrel introduces himself as Earl and says that he's moving to Big Swirl Island to set up his workshop. He's impressed by Brody's board and tries to make his own. Brody heads back to Top Wing Headquarters while Earl works on a board for both turtles. Later, Shelly's unsure if the board will work when Earl finishes it. At HQ, Brody tells everyone how he rescued Earl when Bea reveals that he was an old friend from inventor's school. At the beach, Earl finishes the boards and has the turtles try them out, but he realizes that he forgot to put the brakes on T's board. He decides to try to invent a delivery system to give T his brakes. T then tries out a lever which makes him go too fast. He breaks it, and the board goes out of control. Salty sees this and calls Team Top Wing and Speedy sends Brody to rescue T. When he arrives, Earl shows up with T's brakes on a propellor pack that he can't steer. Brody calls Speedy who sends Swift to catch Earl while Brody rescues T. T is heading for some rocks, but T pulls the other lever to make the board jump. Meanwhile, Earl's pack stops working, and he falls towards Salty. He's about to fall on top of Salty, but Swift catches him with the Zip Flash's talons. However, T is about to hit Salty's boat. He pulls the lever to jump over it while Brody puts the Splash Diver in dive mode. He resurfaces to throw T a bouy, and he grabs it while the board floats away. Back on the beach, Earl shows Team Top Wing his area of the beach, and Bea decides to come there for spare parts and ideas. However, the turtles decide to avoid Earl's inventions making everyone share a laugh.

## Trivia

* This episode takes place before the events of Penny and Bea Rescue Team as this where the cadets meets Earl.

	1. Earl builds a flight pack, not a drone.
	2. Earl builds it for himself
	3. Shirley doesn't appear and isn't mentioned anywhere in the episode.
