Riassunto

Gilbert is excited for a perfect day at the beach . . . until Lola is scared of the water and Gilbert forgets his bathing suit!

Even after buying a cool new suit that says "Surfer Dude" on it, will Gilbert end up in deep water? Mother warns that the bright blue trunks are much too big, but Gilbert is sure he is ready to ride the waves.

Meanwhile, Lola refuses to go near the ocean. Although he is ready to surf, can any big brother hit the waves when his sister demands help digging a deep hole and filling her pool?

With his boogie board in hand, Gilbert dashes straight into the surf. Instead of cruising like a champion, will a giant rolling wave knock Surfer Dude down and leave him covered in sand? Water gets in his eyes, sand fills his trunks, and his board goes surfing away without him.

One oversized bathing suit, a giant wave, and plenty of beachside trouble.
