Hence, its relevance is still very much present. The series will also cater to children in the age bracket of 6-9 years.

Each of the episodes of the series will have an 11-minute runtime. The series will have a new penguin as the lead. This time, the series will tell the story of Flip. Flip is a teenage penguin with dreams just as big as Cody’s. Just like Cody, Flip wishes to become a surfing legend.

So, to make his dream come true, he creates a team. However, things do not exactly go according to his plans, so he ends up making their surfing community on Pen Gu Island.
