So, when Hang 5 invites all the Pen Gu gang to join them on a trek to Slaughter Island where they'll surf "the Trenches," the most dangerous surfing beach in the world, they're off on the adventure of a lifetime. McMahon, Hang 5's captain (voiced by WWE exec Vince McMahon) may be retiring and the team will be looking for a new leader. It's the chance of a lifetime for Cody - he can show his skills to the masters! And, rumor has it that Mr. Everything changes for Cody when he hears that Hang 5 - the most famous surfing team in the world (made up WWE wrestling stars such as John Cena & Saraya-Jade Bevis) - will be passing through Pen Gu Island. The only thing he has to deal with is a crazy rivalry for students with his archenemy, Tank "The Shredder" Evans ( Diedrich Bader).

This time, however, there's an added element: Hang 5, a "world-renowned surfing troupe" (made up of popular wrestling performers/voices from the WWE) joins the company. Tank is still the bully of the piece, tormenting Cody and Chicken Joe with put-downs and bragging. Surfing penguins Cody Maverick, Lani Aliikai, and Tank are back along with Chicken Joe, ready for a new adventure in an animated, direct-to-DVD movie that stays with the original's mockumentary format - a documentary television crew follows the adventures of surfers from Pen Gu Island, where the waves are sweet and the competition among wave-riders is fierce. ![]() Parents need to know that Surf's Up 2: Wave Mania is a sequel to Surf's Up, a popular movie from 2007.
