Plot
editStoked is a character-driven animated situational comedy about a group of groms who come together one summer on the legendary Surfer's Paradise Hotel in British Columbia to experience the ultimate surfer's dream — the endless summer. Emma, Reef, and Fin join locals Broseph, Lo, her brothers Ty and George, and Johnny to work at the world-renowned Surfer's Paradise Ridgemount Resort, stoked to have the best summer of their lives. But instead they find the worst jobs ever, hideous uniforms, zero respect, a run-down staff house, and a tacky, fake, kooksville resort. For twelve weeks, they will spend their first summer away from home and work the hardest that they have ever worked in their lives, but most importantly, they have the opportunity to surf on their days off.
