The episode was written by Aaron Springer, who also directed the storyboards, Paul Tibbitt, and Steven Banks, and the animation was directed by Andrew Overtoom and supervising director Alan Smart. The episode was a part of the series' tenth anniversary celebration in 2009, and features guest appearances by Johnny Depp as the voice of Jack Kahuna Laguna, Bruce Brown as the narrator, and Davy Jones as himself. It originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on April 17, 2009.
The series follows the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. In this episode, SpongeBob and his friends — Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Sandy — are swept away by a giant wave. They get separated from each other; SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward find themselves stranded on a remote tropical island. To get back home to Bikini Bottom, they search for Jack Kahuna Laguna, a surf guru who can teach them the gnarly surf moves to hit the elusive wave, The Big One, in order to return home.
Upon premiere, the episode pulled an average of 5.8 million viewers and received positive reviews. On March 3, 2009, the DVD and the video game based on the episode were released simultaneously.
==Plot summary== Mr. Krabs discovers a lot of people are visiting the beach, so he decides to go sell them Krabby Patties. When SpongeBob, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs are on a surfboard, they meet up with Patrick and Sandy. Patrick tries to climb onto the board, but he causes it to tip and collide with a large wave. It sweeps the five friends up into separate places: SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward go to an island with young surfers, Mr. Krabs ends up stranded in the middle of the sea with his cash register and encounters the Flying Dutchman, and Sandy is taken to a small island where she builds a helicopter from the supplies.
The young surfers tell SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward that the only way to get back to Bikini Bottom is to surf there; unfortunately, they do not know how to. They unsuccessfully try to learn, mostly due to their incompetence. Twitch, one of the surfers, tells them that there is one person who can teach them how to surf: Jack Kahuna Laguna (JKL). After they find JKL, he comes out of his hut and surfs on an enormous surfboard, which astonishes the three. He later says that they have to ride a wave called "The Big One" to get back home, or else they'll be trapped on the island forever. They practice surfing for some time, then get ready to ride "The Big One". Before they set off, JKL announces that the Big One demands a sacrifice.
SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward ride the wave, which comes to life and eats Patrick's and Squidward's surfboards, and they see Mr. Krabs. He is rescued by JKL, but drops his cash register into the ocean, so JKL goes to retrieve it and acts as the sacrifice. SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs surf on the Big One and approach Goo Lagoon. Sandy's helicopter also crash-lands in Goo Lagoon. After SpongeBob and his friends are finally back together, a welcome home party is held for the gang, with Twitch and the surfers performing at the party. JKL is also shown to have survived and gives Krabs his cash register back. The episode ends with everyone dancing on the beach.
