Episodes
1. The Race
In episode one we get cracking - introducing New Zealand to these hard out characters of Bluff. But the action cranks in pretty fast as Jayce nearly gets nailed on the back of the boat - and Slade is in the wars too. As we look to see who'll score the biggest catch over this vital period we meet the three main boats - John The Pro; Vaughn The Man and Rewi The Rookie. After episode one, man, we know how tough it is on these boats ... but just wait for episode two.
2. Storm Brewing
At the end of episode one we seen Vaughn and John creaming it - but Rewi coming up dry. How do his fortunes go in episode two? Especially with a massive storm coming in ... In this episode we sort the men from the boys and see a massive storm pass through the fleet. A ripper!
3. Predators
Vaughn's doing really well but in this episode he has a major setback ... what could it be? Meanwhile after the storm, everyone seems to go mad. Ever seen a man eat a live octopus? Or someone dive for Paua surrounded by sharks? Meanwhile a determined Rewi is on the comeback trail as Vaughn tries to overcome the odds.
