Surviving Summer season 2 cast guide

Sky Katz as Summer Torres

When we meet Summer in the first season, she’s been expelled from another elite private school in New York City. Her mom is fed up with her rebellious ways and decides to send her off to the small town of Shorehaven to stay with her old friend and her family. Initially, all Summer wants to do is go back home to New York when she arrives in the small surfer town, but eventually, she forms a close bond with her childhood friend Ari and his friends. At the end of the first season, she returns back to NYC.

In Surviving Summer season 2, a year has passed and Summer has finally made her way back to Shorehaven. But this time around, she’s taking surfing seriously. She strives to make the State Team and compete in Nationals like Ari and the rest of her surfer friends. But it’s not going to be easy for Summer with the State Team captain aka Ari’s new girlfriend not liking her.
