A lighthearted, visually vibrant animated comedy about a young penguin surfer learning that ambition and ego matter less than joy and connection.

With a documentary crew in tow, Cody Maverick—a young surfer from Antarctica—travels to the pacific for his first professional competition. Determined to earn respect and live up to his idol, Big Z, Cody pushes himself to the limit. But all that changes when an encounter with a laid-back local forces him to rethink his values.
